Kenya is one of my favorite countries and an incredible destination to visit. It is the home of the great safaris, exciting cities and beautiful beaches on the Swahili coast, overlooked by the snow peaks of Mount Kenya and Mount Kilimanjaro.

Kenya is home to plenty of national parks and reserves, including the Maasai Mara, Amboseli, volcanic landscapes of Tsavo, and Lake Nakuru with Pink flamingos.

The Masai Mara is home to both the Big Five safari animals (elephant, lion, leopard, Cape buffalo and black rhino) and the annual wildebeest migration.

Once you are done exploring national parks, you can relax on the stunning beaches of the Swahili Coast.
