Kenya
Vast savannahs peppered with immense herds of wildlife. Snow-capped mountains on the equator. Traditional peoples who bring soul and colour to the earth. Welcome to Kenya.
When you think of Africa, youre probably thinking of Kenya. Its the lone acacia silhouetted against a horizon stretching into eternity. Its the snow-capped mountain almost on the equator and within sight of harsh deserts. Its the lush, palm-fringed coastline of the Indian Ocean, its the Great Rift Valley that once threatened to tear the continent asunder, and its the dense forests reminiscent of the continents heart. In short, Kenya is a country of epic landforms that stir our deepest longings for this very special continent.
Peopling that landscape, adding depth and resonance to Kenyas age-old story, are some of Africas best-known peoples. The Maasai, the Samburu, the Turkana, Swahili, the Kikuyu: these are the peoples whose histories and daily struggles tell the story of a country and of a continent the struggle to maintain traditions as the modern world crowds in, the daily fight for survival in some of the harshest environments on earth, the ancient tension between those who farm and those who roam. Drawing near to these cultures, even coming to understand them a little better through your presence among them, could just be a highlight of your visit.
This is the land of the Masai Mara, of wildebeest and zebras migrating in their millions with the great predators of Africa following in their wake. But Kenya is also home to the red elephants of Tsavo, to Amboseli elephant families in the shadow of Mt Kilimanjaro and to the massed millions of pink flamingos stepping daintily through lake shallows. Africa is the last great wilderness where these creatures survive. And Kenya is the perfect place to answer Africas call of the wild.
The survival and abundance of Kenya's wildlife owes everything to one of Africa's most innovative and successful conservation communities. Through some pretty tough love Kenya pioneered the use of armed rangers to protect rhinos and elephants Kenya stopped the emptying of its wilderness, bringing its wildlife back from the brink after the poaching holocaust of the 1970s and 1980s. More than that, in places like Laikipia and the Masai Mara, private and community conservancies bring tourism together with community development and wildlife conservation in a near-perfect marriage. In other words, if you want your visit to make a difference, you've come to the right place.
