Top 10 Things to Do & See in Kenya

Panoramic balloon flight 

A balloon safari over the Masai Mara is an experience like no other. Drifting over the plains as the sun rises with oblivious wildlife sprawled below is awe-inspiring. The Champagne breakfast isn’t bad either.

The Great Migration 

A journey more wondrous than any you could imagine, the great migration of wildebeest, zebra and gazelle floods the grasses of the Masai Mara from late June.

Outdoor adventures 

 The Great Rift Valley is a prehistoric fissure that slices through much of eastern Africa. With volcanic lakes and towering cliffs, it is an adventure of cinematic proportions.

Meet the Flamingos 

Designated a bird sanctuary in 1961, Lake Nakuru National Park has over 450 bird species; plus 56 species of mammals including white rhino and waterbuck.

Go Shopping

Almost every town and village has markets selling traditional arts and crafts, perfect for presents for those back home.

Festivals & Events 

Every November Mombasa comes alive with the sights and sounds of Mombasa Carnival, filling the streets with colour. For something a little different head to northern Kenya in August for the Malaral Camel Derby.

Family-friendly fun

It’s not easy to get up-close to Africa’s wildlife but at Nairobi’s Giraffe Centre you could get to hand-feed one of these amazing creatures.

Go off-the-beaten-path 

In peak season some safaris can get quite busy, especially during the migration season. If you want to avoid the crowds choose a more intimate safari such as Amboseli National Park or Samburu National Reserve.

A taste of local life

Be sure to visit a Masai village and discover a culture little changed for millennia.

Divine beaches 

Kenya’s Indian Ocean coastline not only has magnificent beaches such as Diani Beach, it also has some of Africa’s finest diving and snorkelling.

Fancy that? Call now our friendly Kenya experts on 0800 707 6229 and head on a fascinating Kenya holiday.
