Being one of the most picturesque countries in the world, we have been surprised to see how little emphasis other websites about Kenya put onto the images on their sites. On Kenyatravels.com we have the most extensive portfolio with superb photos from all over Kenya enabling you to actually see what to expect when visiting Kenya.

If you want to explore and maybe drift away on a weightless flight over Africas highest mountains and down through the green valleys, over deep blue lakes or across the savannah, you are most welcome to take a tour in our 3-D map section and see for yourself. We have packed this amazing array of information, great pictures and cool features into one good packet; KenyaTravels.com – The complete travel guide to Kenya!
Seventy percent of all visitors to Kenya go on safari – and for very good reasons: The variety and abundance of wildlife of the East African savannah is world famous and the Great Migration of the wildebeest from Serengeti to Masai Mara is definitely a ”must see” and a once-in a-lifetime experience as it is the longest and largest over land migration in the world. The ecosystems of East Africa are truly unique and the sheer numbers of the wildlife simply staggering.
Contrary to being in the jungle, the African Savannah allows more or less free access to view the animals as there is little foilage for them to hide behind and so anyone with just a fairly decent camera can get some exellent shots of wildlife in Kenya. And of course, the sheer exitement of going on a game drive to see some of the most amazing wildlife on earth in their natural environment is a real adventure every time! To be reassured that such ancient and varied ecosystems are still fully intact even in the 21.st century is one of the great pleasures and big rewards of being on a safari in Africa.
In 2007 the Great Migration of the gnus in Serengeti-Masai Mara was voted to be among the Seven Natural Wonders of the World so obviously world class wildlife viewing in Masai Mara is enough reason alone to visit Kenya but when you add to this a wide range of other exellent national parks such as Samburu, Amboseli, Tsavo, Lake Nakuru, Meru and many others, Kenya is simply hard to beat as being one of the most fascinating tourist destinations in the world.
You could visit the colourful tribesmen herding their beloved goats and camels in the strikingly beautiful, but very hot desert surrounding Lake Turkana and end the day overlooking the Jade Sea from your veranda with a sundowner. Actually the Great Rift Valley lakes are an ornithologist’s paradise – most of the lakes blessed with more than 400 species of exotic birds and flocks with tens of thousands pink Flamingos. In kenya you also have direct access to the largest lake in Africa – Lake Victoria, on which you can sail and do some world class sports fishing. You could do a walking safari and feel the exitement when standing on the ground with African giants such as elephants, giraffes, rhinos, buffaloes and lions – or you could just kick back and take in the atmosphere and sounds when the Masai warriors perform their traditional dances under the African night sky and its billions of stars.
You could also decide to hike up Mount Kenya – Africa’s second highest mountain so why not check our page about Mount Kenya to know what to expect as we take you every step to the top? If you’re looking for even more adventure you might want to explore Kenyas Western Circuit where few tourists come. Some of the highlights in this region is the great cultural diversity and the landscapes are more lush and green. There are gently rolling hills with tea plantations, and if you want to reach the sky you can trek Mount Elgon and find an amazing variety and abundance of Afro-alpine flora and fauna – including the salt-licking elephants in the Kitum Cave. Generally there is a feeling of being far off the beaten track in this region and a morning stroll through the only tropical rain forest in Kenya – Kakamega Forest, where black and white Colobus monkeys jump from tree to tree while more than 300 species of birds (including many rare West African species) awaits your discovery, is simply a suberb way to experience the beauty of the natural settings in Africa.
Of course you’ve got a plethora of other options to make your vacation in kenya the best and most rewarding holiday ever! Kenya definately has many drawcards and though mostly associated with being safari country par exellence, Kenya is gifted with direct access to the Indian Ocean where you can experience the thrill of seeing humpback whales and lots of other marine life or even swim amongst playful dolphins. The option of spicing up your safari with a trip to the palm-fringed coral sand beaches overlooking the Indian Ocean’s crystal clear waters and do some bathing, snorkeling, diving, surfing, parasailing or maybe play some golf on some of the exellent Golf Courses is always there.
The possibilities for excitement and true adventure are almost endless in Kenya. That, combined with the Kenyans’ renown friendliness, hospitality and service-mindedness, makes Kenya the ideal destination for a holiday of a lifetime. Welcome to KenyaTravels.com!
