Located halfway down the east coast of Africa, astride the equator, Kenya is the most accessible country in the region. Kenya is the home of the safari and one of the world’s top holiday destinations. Over 90 international flights arrive and depart Kenya each week and it has never been easier to reach the heart of this fascinating country. The country is blessed with excellent all year climate and well established tourist facilities.

The words Jambo and Karibu, meaning hello and welcome are traditionally the first words to greet visitors to Africa. Kenya offers a world of attractions, much more than any other destination. It has stunning landscapes, cultural diversity, adventure sports, beautiful beaches and its unique wildlife. Kenya boasts as the only country in the world with a national park in the capital. It is also the only country that has an island where you can walk on foot with wild game animals. (Crescent Island – Naivasha)!

Offering the perfect start to a memorable vacation is Kenya’s cosmopolitan capital, Nairobi – Masai word meaning a place of cool waters! Everything is here, from the famous hotels and restaurants to the world’s finest golf courses, plus a unique racecourse where the horses may be joined by ostriches, camels or even rally cars.

What makes Kenya fascinating as a wildlife destination is the sheer diversity of its many game parks. One of the greatest sights is the annual migration of two million wildebeests – together with half a million zebras and thousands of gazelles across the endless savannah. From the small Shimba Hills National Park, down to the coast , to the bleak wilderness of Lake Turkana in the north, the rolling hills of the Masai Mara – home of the migration, the enormous Tsavo, Kenya has an entire world of amazing parks to see and experience.

Kenya has made tremendous strides in tackling the security and poaching problems that once troubled some of its reserves. Animal numbers have increased as a consequence and this in turn has enhanced the game viewing experience for visitors who want to see the “Big Five”.

At the same time, Kenya has maintained its exclusivity. In any case the country has such a wide array of game parks that most are uncrowded and some are rarely visited except on the most dedicated wildlife enthusiasts.

After the wonders of the safari experience, Kenya’s beaches offer the ultimate in relaxation. For those in search of adventure and sports, Kenya is the perfect destination with over 480 km of unspoilt beach, big game fishing off Mombasa, mountain climbing, rapid rivers for water rafting, or playing golf at one of the nearly 40 courses.

Visitors to Kenya are exposed to vibrant and various cultures of Kenya as we have over forty local tribes. You will share in their ancient musical traditions and experience a unique kind of hospitality.

No single park will allow you to view every animal indigenous to Kenya, so it’s important to draw up an itinerary that will include various locations. Private Safaris (EA) will help you with an itinerary to suit your requirements and meet your budget.

Kenya is a paradise for golfers. Although it doesn’t immediately spring to mind as a golfing destination, outside of South Africa, Kenya has some of the best and certainly some of the prettiest golf courses on the African continent.
