Kenya is undoubtedly, the premier safari destination for many travelers. There are few, if any, destinations in the world that offer such a diversity of wildlife, scenery and culture. With the sheer variety of experiences on offer in Kenya, no other country on Earth can offer a visitor as much to see and do.

Kenya is the Africa of everyone’s dreams. It has broad horizons, wide-open spaces, piercing daylight from an overhead sun, friendly smiling people and, above all, the chance to go on an African safari and view an abundance of wildlife in its natural environment.

Almost every known landform on the planet exists within Kenya, a country, from snow capped mountains and glaciers, to arid deserts, from the dry and dusty savannah plains to the cool fresh waters of lakes and rain forests.

The Great Rift Valley, its floor littered with extinct volcanoes, cuts through Kenya from north to south. On the equator lies the majestic Mt. Kenya (5,199m), to the north, the remote and rugged semi-deserts of the Northern Frontier. To the west, the largest lake on the continent – Lake Victoria, and the source of the River Nile.

It doesn’t take a bucket list buster or a wildlife enthusiast to know that Kenya is among the dream-come-true destinations for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. As loosely translated in Swahili, a safari is “a journey”. In that journey, here are the top things you can look forward to. These things are also the major reason why Kenya safari is a must-visit.
