Kenya
At the turn of the last century Kenya attracted settlers and big game hunters, laying the foundations for photographic safaris as we know them today.
The perfect choice for a first-time safari, Kenya offers a smorgasbord of safari experiences, in a relatively compact country. Today a comprehensive network of flights links all the major game areas, making it possible to arrive at your first camp in time for lunch!
Kenya’s reputation for having large numbers of vehicles in the parks has created a false image of what Kenya has to offer the discerning traveller. A collection of small camps, private homesteads or ranches, often owner-run, create a far more special experience.
Indian Ocean beaches stretch the full length of the Kenya coast, from the southern border of Somalia to the northern tip of Tanzania, with a huge choice of accommodation.
Off the Kenya coast lays Lamu Island. A short flight from Nairobi or Mombasa takes visitors a step back in time, where the mode of transport is more likely to be a donkey, bicycle or dhow rather than anything with four wheels. |
