Karibu Kenya .the land of contrasts!

Adventures, Wilderness, suspense, white sandy beaches, are just but afew words describing the pride of Africa... Kenya .

Kenya is the primary focus of all adventure travel in Africa . It is one of the finest--and undoubtedly the most famous--safari destination in the world. Safari, however, is by no means the only reason to visit Kenya , for the attractions of its rich culture and diverse environments are considerable.

Kenya is known for its varied wildlife and is particularly famous for its big game animals in the African savanna. These include elephants, rhinoceroses, zebras, giraffes, and lions and other large cats. Most of these species are protected in national parks and game reserves. Birds, including ostriches, flamingos, and vultures abound in Kenya , as do reptiles such as pythons, mambas, and cobras.

Kenya contains diverse vegetation. Forests containing palm, mangrove, teak, and sandalwood trees can be found along the Indian Ocean coast. Baobab, euphorbia, and acacia trees dot the lowland plateaus, while extensive tracts of savanna (grassland), interspersed with groves of acacia and some temperate forests, characterize the terrain of the highlands up to about 3,000 m (about 9,000 ft).

The annual migration of wildlife between Serengeti National Park in Tanzania and Maasai Mara National Park in Kenya that takes place between June and September is a favourite with wildlife lovers. The migration of almost two million wildebeest, zebras and other species is one of nature's greatest spectacles.

Kenya covers an area of 582,646 square kilometres.

Kenya lies across the equator on the east of the African continent. Neighboring countries are Ethiopia to the north, Somalia to east, Tanzania to south, Uganda to west and Sudan to north-west.
