Adventuring in Kenya

Kenya is located in East Africa and is home to 43.5 million people. Nairobi, the capital city, is also the largest city in the country.

Kenya has long been hailed as being the best safari destination in the world. There are few places on Earth where you can witness the Big Five: lions, buffalos, elephants, leopards, and rhinos, in the wilderness.

With an abundance of national parks, including the Chyulu Hills National Park and the Maasai Mara National Park, you will be treated to an incredibly beautiful experience in the savannah grasslands. Witness majestic animals, unique plants, and the most picturesque views while on your safari adventure.

 

 

Kenya offers visitors a wide range of accommodation options. From five-star luxury suites to pitching your own tent in the wilderness or relaxing in a private beachside villa, the possibilities are endless.

If you’re feeling adventurous, sleep under a canvas tent in the Kenyan bush, by an open fire and surrounded by the spectacular night noises of wild animals for a once in a lifetime experience.

For others, the experience of enjoying unparalleled luxury, exceptional cuisine, and world-class service while surrounded by the wonders of the wild makes Kenya the ultimate destination.

 

Kenya is home to many indigenous tribes, including the Maasai tribe. The Maasai are well known for their unique culture and tribal dress. It is widely believed the Massai people originated in the Nile valley in the 15th century before migrating to their current home in Kenya.

This semi-nomadic tribe is known for being great hunters, along with wearing vibrant clothes and high spirited dancing.

Fun fact, in the Maasai tribe, a man that can jump higher than his peers is considered more masculine and, therefore, more attractive to young women!

 

Have you thought about beachside escapes when you think of Kenya?

Surrounded by the breathtaking Indian Ocean, soft white sands, lush greenery, and the striking shade of emerald blue that emerges from its clear warm waters, Diani is Kenya’s most relaxing retreat.

It is the perfect place to get away from the stress of everyday life or to relax before and after an exciting safari.

From diving with dolphins and sea turtles, spotting whale sharks, kitesurfing, lively nightlife, and alfresco dining, Diani offers a range of activities for all!

And something for our hikers…..

 

Mt. Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in both Tanzania and Africa, is just as impressive as you would imagine. Also known for being the fourth-highest summit in the world, Kilimanjaro is considered the tallest freestanding mountain in the world, rising 15,100 ft. from base to summit.

The mountain is characterized by picture-perfect forest trails that lead into rocky and moon-like landscapes before giving way to snowy glacial views. There are several trails for hikers attempting this climb, and the Machame, Lemosho, and Shira routes are the most popular and ranging from six to eight days.
