Why visit Kenya?

No other country in the world can surpass Kenya’s marvel of tourist attractions.  Kenya has the largest concentration of wildlife parks, 59 in all among them the seventh wonder of the world the Masai Mara.

It stretches from the sand deserts in the north to the clear warm waters of the Indian ocean in the east, and from the shores of lake Victoria (second largest lake in the world) in the west, to  the snow- clad peaks of Mt Kenya. There are shimmering savannah dotted with acacia trees and an abundance of wildlife, there are forest clad mountains with green everglades and cool streams, and there are fertile, verdant highlands. Kenya enthralls not only the visitor, but also the resident. it is a land of contrasts

There is something for everyone in Kenya: photographers, writers, sportsmen, artists, anglers, mountaineers and divers. For those who just want to sit and relax in the sun, the Kenyan coast is famous for its exotic palm fringed, sand beaches, and for its coral reefs gently stroked by the clear blue waters of the Indian Ocean. In Mombasa the oldest and most important town on the Kenya coast and main port, traditional dhows mingle with modern vessels.

The holiday resorts that attract visitors are to be found north and south , tucked away in the bays or on the glittering white beaches.  The legendary African savannahs the land of wildlife and adventure, are to the interior. Even further west are the fertile highlands. Large swathes of the country have been designated national parks or wildlife preserves, and there is an infinite abundance of flora and fauna which can be studied and photographed in natural surroundings.  There are luxury lodges in the forests and hills but mainly in at selected viewing points on the open savannah home to a multitude of wildlife species: elephants, giraffes, zebras, rhinos, antelopes, lions and other predators. Kenya also has a fascinating abundance of bird species.

So when you think of Kenya, think “safari”, and choose from among the many varied attractions. There is so much to see and do and enjoy in Kenya, regardless of the time of year, there is something for every taste and every budget! "Karibu Kenya" (welcome to Kenya) with OLOI TRAVELS
