This might sound very rock ‘n’ roll, but we can assure you that it’s completely safe! Hell’s Gate is a National Park in Naivasha, and it is completely safe to cycle or walk through, because there are no dangerous animals in the park. You will see zebras, gazelles and giraffes, as well as some of the most spectacular views in all of Kenya. A truly unique experience.
A walking tour through downtown Nairobi offers a fascinating insight into life in the Kenyan capital. Explore the vibrant, colourful downtown area of the city, and your senses will practically explode. Smells of spices, herbs, freshly cooked food and lots of local produce from fresh fruit to handmade rugs, scarves and more are sold by friendly street vendors.
A safari through arguably the most famous National Park in Africa is a must when you visit Kenya. Expect to see an incredible range of exotic African wildlife, including the ‘Big Five’ (lion, leopard, elephant, Cape buffalo, rhino), which all live within the Maasai Mara National Park. If you visit between June and October, you might even see the world-famous Great Migration, where thousands of zebra and wildebeest make the dangerous crossing of the crocodile-infested Mara River.
With lots of wildlife on show, where better to observe than from the waters of Lake Nakuru? Known best for its huge population of flamingos, you can also expect to see rare species of giraffe, both black and white rhinos, leopards and lions patrolling the shoreline if you’re in luck. As well as offering a whole new perspective on wildlife watching, it’s also much cooler out on the lake, which is perfect if you plan on visiting Kenya during the Dry Season, where the temperature can reach over 30℃.
While the land animals are impressive enough, you’ve also got the option to swim with one of the Indian Ocean’s most playful creatures in Ksite Mpunguti Marine National Park just off the coast of Kenya. A boat trip out here offers you the chance to swim with dolphins or simply snorkel and explore the crystal-clear waters around the well-preserved natural coral reefs.
Did you know that Kenya is one of the largest producers of both tea and coffee in the world? By visiting either a tea or a coffee plantation, you are actively supporting local Kenyan farmers, and if you purchase goods directly from the source, you’re helping even more. Plus, it’ll likely be some of the best tea or coffee you’ve ever tasted. Now, shall we put the kettle on?
