Kenya - Go on holiday to the heart of East Africa

The East African country of Kenya has it all - beautiful sandy beaches, chic urban cities and breath-taking National Parks offering safari adventures of a lifetime. From Kenya’s second largest city, Mombasa, you can access some the country’s most incredible islands, including Lamu Island, and enjoy exotic beaches and spice markets in the city’s fragrant centre. Mombasa’s unique blend of Indian African and Middle Eastern cultures means you can stroll ancient Hindu temples, beautiful crumbling churches, elegant mosques and UNESCO World Heritage forts all in one afternoon. And the city’s central trading position in East Africa means you can visit some of the best, and most atmospheric markets on the continent, and watch traders haggling over spices from around the world. And just a short trip from Mombasa is the Marine National Park and Nature Reserve, where you can snorkel and dive past beautiful coral reefs, plus Lamu Island where you can take a step back in time.

As well as spectacular beaches on its east coast, Kenya also boasts some of the continent’s most precious National Parks, including the famous Maasai Mara Nature Reserve. Every year, visitors flock to the Maasai Mara Nature Reserve to see one of nature’s spectacles, the Great Migration, where vast herds of zebras, wildebeests and gazelles migrate across the park in search of rain. Fly into Kenya’s vibrant capital city, Nairobi, and you can take a short drive or flight to the Maasai Mara Nature Reserve. Also from the capital, you can easily visit Mount Kenya National Park, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site and Biosphere Reserve, as well as Mount Longonot National Park in the Southern Rift Valley. Or, head east to experience the oldest and largest National Park in the country, the Tsavo National Park, and also one of the world's largest game reserves, boasting the Yatta Plateau, the world’s largest lava flow.
