Nature
lovers know Kenya as Africa's most popular destination
for safarisa Swahili word meaning quite simply
"journeys". In this case it implies adventures
in 4-wheel drive vehicles and minibuses among the
continent's finest wildlife: the Big Five (lion, elephant,
leopard, rhinoceros and Cape buffalo) and many, many
more. The country has more than 50 game parks and
reserves.
In
the south, the Masai Mara is famous for the sheer
numbers and diversity of its game, Amboseli for its
enchanting location on the Tanzania border at the
foot of Mount Kilimanjaro and Tsavo for its splendid
elephants. In the centre, Lake Nakuru is host to millions
of pink flamingos. The densely forested park of Mount
Kenyastraddling the equator but snow-coveredprovides
the special excitement of treetop views at the animals'
waterholes; Samburu's semi-deserts boast crocodiles
at cocktail-time, rare views of leopard, and Africa's
most handsome giraffe.
The
country's neighbours are Ethiopia and Sudan to the
north, Uganda to the west, Tanzania to the south,
with the Indian Ocean and Somalia to the east. Cutting
through the western interior is the Great Rift Valley.
Vast expanses of northern desert give way to richer
agricultural highlands to the west of Mount Kenya,
notable for their tea and coffee plantations. The
hot and humid coastal region provides relief for bathers
on its sandy beaches. Its rich past is evident both
at the old Arab trading counters at Malindi and Lamu
and in the ever-bustling city of Mombasa, where Indian
and Arab cuisine continues the tradition of the port's
eastern trading partners.
The
cooler and calmer capital of Nairobi lies at the heart
of the country. This crossroads of East Africa's international
organizations, with an appropriate share of governmental
and commercial skyscrapers, makes the point that Kenya
(population over 25 million) is also a modern state
looking to the future.
Kenya's beaches are the perfect tropical idyll.
If
you are looking for the perfect beach break, then
look no further.
Picture
yourself on soft white sand in the shade of palm tree,
where the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean shimmer
on the horizon as waves break on a distant reef.
Swim,
dive, explore or just relax.
