Introduction: Home of the Safari
Kenya is where the first commercial safaris were pioneered, back in the 1930s, and it remains one of the worlds top wildlife-viewing and beach destinations
Tropical beaches protected by offshore reefs, ideal for diving and snorkelling. Vast swathes of savannah, where lions and elephants roam below the snow-capped peaks of Mount Kenya and Kilimanjaro. The spectacular contours of the Great Rift Valley, its floor studded with lakes tinged pink with flamingos. Jungle-bound ruins of medieval trading outposts and lava-strewn badlands inhabited by desert nomads.
Kenya is a land of extraordinary scenic variety. Bordered by Tanzania to the south, Uganda to the west, and Sudan, Ethiopia and Somalia to the north, it owes much of this diversity to the combination of an equatorial location and an altitudinal span that ranges from the sultry Indian Ocean, along its eastern border, to the glacial peaks that cap the central highlands.

Kenyas immense scenery is matched by its rare biodiversity. This was the original home of the safari. And it remains an exceptional wildlife destination, though the modern safari industry emphasises photography rather than hunting, and is increasingly geared towards community-based conservancies.
Kenyas main attraction is its superb game reserves: Amboseli, Nakuru, Tsavo, Samburu and above all the Maasai Mara, where the peerless drama of the million-strong wildebeest migration is enacted every year. The country also boasts several more intimate low-key reserves, for instance Meru, Kakamega Forest and Hells Gate. And these terrestrial wonders are complemented by the spectacular offshore reefs that run along the length of the coast, supporting a mind-boggling diversity of marine life.

Culturally, Kenya is a fascinating country, and one that regularly challenges preconceptions about Africa. On the one hand, there is Nairobi, which ranks among the continents largest and most modern and industrialised cities. Yet you neednt drive far from the capital to find yourself in areas inhabited by Maasai and other pastoralists whose lifestyle is visibly informed by ancient ancestral values. Somewhere between these worlds are the coastal Swahili, whose rich Islamic legacy, forged by a millennium of international trade, lives on in ports such as Mombasa, Malindi and Lamu.
