Places to Visit in Kenya

A Kenya safari offers a wide variety of options including wildlife safaris, mountaineering, bird watching and cultural safaris. Professional tour companies offer tour packages to fit any kind of traveler.

Places to take wildlife safaris include the Maasai Mara National Park, Samburu Game Reserve and Amboseli Game Reserves. There is also a chance to take a tour of the Nairobi National Park in the heart of Kenya’s capital for the time-strapped traveler or those who do not wish to travel off the unbeaten track.

Mt Kenya offers an opportunity to hike to the summit for those interested in mountain climbing. The peak is the second highest point in Africa and is a challenging yet rewarding climb. Tour companies offer professional staff to help adventurous climbers throughout the journey.

Cultural safaris offers an inside look into some of the many Kenyan cultures. The Maasai culture is naturally the most popular with tourists. Their unique customs, rituals and dressing offers a great chance to see this magnificent culture that has remained largely untouched by the outside world.
