East Africa has a variety of landscapes, wildlife and people that is infinite in variety. Kenya and Tanzania consist of stretches of savannah grasslands dotted with herds of game, stunning sun drenched white beaches fringed with palms swaying in the warm ocean breeze, mangrove forests and coral reefs, shimmering blue lakes and rivers meandering through swamps, parched land and arid deserts, as well as rich tropical forests and snowcapped mountains.

KENYA

Kenya is a magical country straddling the Equator, in many ways, Kenya is the entire African continent in microcosm, here the old and the new exist side by side in harmony. The breathtaking scenery, comfortable climate, legendary wildlife, sophisticated accommodation and vibrant mix of cultures make Kenya one of the world's most romantic travel destinations.

Kenya has some of the best National Parks and game reserves in Africa that host an incredible diversity of wildlife. Kenya also has over 40 different tribes living close to each other, each tribe with their own culture producing a kaleidoscope of tradition and folklore.

Kenya covers an area the size of France straddling the Equator and therefore enjoying beautiful climate all year round with warm sunny days and cool nights. Altitudes range from sea level to the peak of Mt. Kenya at 5199m, the second highest mountain in Africa. One third of Kenya is a semiarid desert; one third is highland, mountain and forest, lake and farmland, much of it fertile and bountiful. The remaining third is savannah grassland.

Differences in terrain and altitude create a contrast in the climate, from the hot humidity of the coast to the cool frosty mornings of the central highland country and the dry burning heat of the northern desert.

The Great Rift Valley, an ornithological paradise with many lakes and extinct volcanoes scattered over the floor, cutting through Kenya from the north to the south and where one can study the glory of a million flamingoes as they color the waters of Lake Nakuru a shimmering pink.

The famous Masai Mara Game Reserve in the south west is an extension of the Serengeti Plains of Tanzania, where the greatest wildlife spectacle on earth, the wildebeest migration in search of pastures, from the Serengeti Plains in Tanzania on to Kenya’s Masai Mara takes place annually. This brings together Africa’s greatest predators setting the scene for a breathtaking natural show, the only one of its kind in the world.

Mount Kenya stands majestically at 5,199m on the Equator towering above the clouds and grasslands, the slopes covered with dense mountain forest.

Aberdare National Park or The Aberdare “Moorlands” (as it is fiondlu known) is a densely forested area in Central Kenya, watch the animals from the comfort of your “tree lodge.”
The Northern Frontier District is semi arid desert and harbors rare animals only found in Northern Kenya. Further north is Lake Turkana or 'The Jade Sea' where you can try your luck and fish for the great Nile Perch.

A little further north takes you to Koobi Fora, 'The Cradle of Mankind' where Dr. Louis Leakey discovered the "Early Man." The Indian Ocean to the south east offers sandy white beaches, and turquoise seas protected by a colorful coral reef, making it a holiday paradise with the many historical sites to visit.
