Kenya
A country of epic landforms that stir our deepest longings for this very special continent.
When you think of Africa, you’re probably thinking of Kenya. It’s the lone acacia silhouetted on the savannah against a horizon stretching into eternity. It’s the snow-capped mountain almost on the equator and within sight of harsh deserts. It’s the lush, palm-fringed coastline of the Indian Ocean, it’s the Great Rift Valley that once threatened to tear the continent asunder, and it’s the dense forests reminiscent of the continent’s heart. In short, Kenya is a country of epic landforms that stir our deepest longings for this very special continent.

Why Choose Kenya
Kenya encompasses savannah, lakelands, the dramatic Great Rift Valley and mountain highlands. It’s also home to incredible wildlife such as lions, leopards, cheetah, elephants and rhinos. Visit the Maasai Mara Reserve – famous for its annual wildebeest migrations – or the red elephants of Tsavo, or the Amboseli elephant families in the shadow of Mt Kilimanjaro, or the massed millions of pink flamingos stepping daintily through Great Lake’s shallows. Africa is the last great wilderness where these creatures survive. And Kenya is the perfect place to answer Africa’s call of the wild.
Welcome to Kenya – vast savannahs peppered with immense herds of wildlife, snow-capped equatorial mountains, traditional peoples who bring soul and colour to the earth and some of the most beautiful beaches in the world.
