Kenya

Kenya is the home of the safari. The boundless wilderness and big game of this region has long attracted adventure seekers from all over the globe. No other African country can boast such an incredible range of landscapes, unique geographical features and species.
Kenya offers the visitor a chance to experience a natural world unchanged by the passage of time. The Kenyan wilderness is home to an endless array of ecosystems, the staging ground for natural cycles of life, death and regeneration as old as the planet itself.
This great range of natural habitats means that there is plenty to explore, and plenty of species to encounter.
This is a land of endless potential for the wildlife enthusiast. From great migratory herds of the open savannah to an incredible abundance of bird life, from the depths of a tropical rainforest to the depths of the Indian Ocean teeming with fish, this a world of natural wonders.

Coast: The Kenyan coast is lined with pristine white sand beaches fringing the warm inviting waters of the Indian Ocean. Here the wilderness meets the sea, and the ocean itself holds a world of spectacular coral reefs teeming with life and color.
The coast is a place with a long and exotic history; its calm blue waters the traditional passage of the Arabian Spice Trade

Cities: Kenya's two largest cities have all played a vital role in the nations eventful history.
Mombasa is an island city whose magnificent fort and harbor has been center stage for hundreds of years of turbulent history. The beginning of the 20th century saw a railroad begin to wind its way from this port town inwards towards central Africa.

Forests: The coast has plenty of opportunity for the sporting enthusiast. Great golf courses, excellent facilities for water sports, and resorts that cater for the active traveler. Kenya is a land of contrasts, and nowhere is this more apparent than in its range of altitudes. The hills and mountains of Kenya are a world apart from the lowland valleys and plains. Kenya straddles the center of the Great Rift Valley, the vast prehistoric fissure that stretches from Jordan to Mozambique. From the North to the South of Kenya, the valley is lined with a series of freshwater and soda based volcanic lakes.
 Climate

Much of Kenya has either subtropical or temperate climate and has variable rainfall from year to year. The coastal regions wettest season is Apr-May and to a lesser extent Oct-Nov although rain occurs in all months. Temperatures and humidity stay high throughout the year but are tempered by strong onshore breezes. The northern frontier area and lower inland plateaux has very low rainfall and high temperatures year round. The highlands in the centre and west of the country have two rainy seasons. The sunniest period is between Dec-Mar and the cloudiest, often with drizzle between late March and early June. July and August are the coolest months. The higher mountain regions have low enough temperatures for frost and snow to occur
