Kenya
Use this Kenya travel guide to plan your trip to this land of rolling savannah, white-sand beaches and mountain forests. One of Kenya’s biggest attractions is the Masai Mara, probably the most famous game reserve in the country. Along with the Serengeti National Park in neighbouring Tanzania, this important ecosystem features the world’s single biggest natural movement of large animals. Or travel to the coral reefs of the coast, and the Rift Valley lakes, home to thousands of flamingos. Our Kenya travel guide also provides detailed coverage of Kenya's two major cities: the high-altitude, colonial-built capital Nairobi and the steamy trading port of Mombasa.
