Amazing Game Drives

Kenya is the home of African Safari, you can enjoy your days at different national parks and reserves in Kenya. For instance, the world famous Masai Mara Reserve in Narok County has been christened the "Eighth wonder of the world." This is attributed to the wildebeest migration across the Mara River in to Tanzania's Serengeti National Park. The migration happens every year from July to October as the wildebeests cross the crocodile infested Mara waters in search of greener pastures on the other side. Other places you can enjoy game drives include: Samburu National park in Northern kenya, and Amboseli National Park, the home of African elephant.

Culture Tourism

As a country, we are blessed with a diverse people hence a diverse culture. If you visit the Coast, you will immerse yourself in a new world of Swahili Culture. Towns at the coast have received some of the earliest visitors to the east Coast of Africa; The Arabs, Persians, and the Portuguese. Therefore, Swahili culture grew because of the interactions between the local African tribes (Mijikenda) and the visitors. There, you will enjoy different types of meals, modes of transport and traditional games.

There are still so many other things you can enjoy in the country, you can go shopping to different huge shopping malls in Nairobi and so many other activities.
