Kenya

East Africa’s Cultural Crossroads

Ever since Vasco da Gama first sailed into the port of Mombasa in 1498, Kenya’s “Swahili Coast” has been one of Africa’s most sought-after patches of real estate. Nowadays though, this sense of competition exists primarily among tourists, whose main interests are not strategic trade routes but rather game lodges and spectacular scenery. Whether you go for a week-long safari or a more extended tour of the country and its people, Kenya will no doubt leave you wanting more. At its heart is Nairobi, the thriving capital, center of the tourism industry, and historical melting pot. If you can’t fit a visit to the famed Maasai Mara or Amboseli Game Reserves into your itinerary, don’t worry: Nairobi National Park lies only thirty minutes’ drive from the city center, and the famed “Fourteen Falls” of Thika await you further down the road. If you’re heading to the Great Rift-Valley, don’t miss Lake Naivasha, a natural wonder with over 400 species of birds, countless hippos, and friendly colobus monkeys.
