Kenya

Holidays to Africa are made for safari adventures. Explore the vast wilderness of national parks and game reserves such as Amboseli, Tsavo, and Lake Nakuru, where you can encounter the Big Five – lions, elephants, buffaloes, leopards, and rhinos – as well as a host of other fascinating wildlife species. One of the most awe-inspiring natural spectacles on Earth, the Great Migration sees millions of wildebeest, zebras, and other wildlife traverse the plains of the Maasai Mara and Serengeti in search of greener pastures. Witnessing this incredible migration firsthand is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that will leave you breathless.

Experience the vibrant culture of the Maasai people, one of Kenya's most iconic and traditional tribes. Known for their distinctive red garments, intricate beaded jewellery, close connection to the land, and warrior culture, the Massai people have embraced tourism in recent years, allowing outsiders to gain an insight into their traditions. Visit a Maasai village to learn about their customs, history, and way of life, and participate in cultural activities such as traditional dances, beadwork, and bush walks. You can even stay in lodges or camps run by the Maasai themselves for a truly unique insight into Kenya.

After your safari adventures, unwind on the pristine beaches of Kenya's Indian Ocean coast. From the bustling city of Mombasa to the idyllic shores of Diani Beach and Watamu, Kenya's coastal towns offer a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure, with opportunities for swimming, snorkelling, diving, and exploring vibrant coral reefs. Or if you’re still looking for breathtaking natural wonders, Africa's second-highest peak, Mount Kenya is a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its rugged beauty, diverse ecosystems, and challenging trekking routes. For adventurous travellers, climbing Mount Kenya offers the ultimate challenge and reward.

Kenya's food embraces a world of flavours. One day you may be tucking into a steak and aromatic rich curry with Indian chapatis at a beachside cabin or living the life of luxury at a fine-dining restaurant in Nairobi; the next you could be dining on traditional ugali by a campfire under the stars or indulging in a sunrise champagne brunch looking across the savannah. From spiced rice dishes like biryani and pilau to mukimo, whether you're looking for gourmet dining or fast food, you're sure to find something to your taste in Nairobi and Mombasa.
