Why You Should Visit Kenya

Two million people visit Kenya every year: why should you be one of them? Here are several reasons that you might choose to make Kenya your holiday destination this year:

1. Safaris: this is the country that started safari experiences. Take a nature walk at Nairobi National Park, or go on biking or trekking safaris in any of the other national parks. If you want to see lions, elephants, rhinos and leopards in their natural habitat, the best place to visit is the Tsavo National Park, or watch the wildebeests and zebras migrate at the Maasai Mara National Park and Serengeti.

2. Natural Beauty: from baking hot deserts to savannah grassland to snow-capped Mount Kenya, Kenya is nothing if not diverse.

3. The Weather: the climate is tropical all year round, warm in the day and cool at night. As it is on the equator, the weather doesn’t change much. It’s hottest from January to March (around 34 degrees), and the country’s rainy season is April to June, with the coolest part of the year being July and August (16 degrees).

4. Exercise: whether you want to try climbing Mt Kenya (the second highest mountain) or white-water rafting on the Tana River, or partaking in camel races, there’s certainly a lot for you to do in Kenya.

5. Accommodation: cheap yet luxurious hotels abound.
