Kenya Holidays 2022/2023
Kenya is the epitome of Africa, with Baobab trees silhouetted against the red savannah, snow-capped mountain of Mount Kenya, changing landscapes from harsh deserts, a palm-fringed coastline of the Indian Ocean, thick forests and a diverse ecosystem. Some of the famous and ancient tribes of Africa reside in Kenya, The Maasai, the Samburu, the Turkana, Swahili and the Kikuyu. These are the people who have made Kenya and have resided in Kenya for thousands of years. Along with the human residents, the wildlife of Kenya lives in the Masai Mara. The area is teeming with wildebeest, zebras, elephants, pink flamingos as well as the big five; Lions, Rhinoceros, Buffalo and Leopards. Africa is the last place in the world where these creatures can survive in the wild. This is due to successful conservation communities.
