About Kenya:
Kenya is famous for its wildlife, athletes and hospitality. The country's wildlife is her most striking feature with 59 national parks and game reserves, each one unique with different wildlife and topography.

Kenya's adventure safaris are a thrill. The annual wildebeest migration that takes place every year in the Maasai Mara National Game Reserve between July and October was declared the 7th new Wonder of The World in November 2006.

The country is eco-friendly with eco-tourist facilities accommodating every budget ranging from exclusive luxury lodges to pocket friendly campsites. Kenya is also a bird watcher's paradise, with 30% of the world's pink flamingoes being found there. No less than 12% of the world's birds, which equates to more than 1,100 different bird species, are found in Kenya.

Beautiful white, sandy beaches line the Kenyan Coast. Lamu, a coastal city, is rich in history and was declared a world heritage site by UNESCO in December 2001. Kenya is culturally rich and diverse with 42 different indigenous tribes, each offering their own unique experiences. A healthy infusion of international cultures has increased the diversity in culture.

Kenya is the Cradle of Life as attested by archeology and also home to some of the best tea, coffee, and flowers in the world. The country is increasingly becoming famous for its sporting attractions, especially its high altitude training camps with Kenya's Olympic champions, whale shark diving, scuba diving, golf, polo and spectacular hot air ballooning over the Maasai Mara.
