Tourist Attractions
Kenyan beaches
The Kenyan coast stands out as one of the best tourist destinations in the world. The white sandy beaches of Mombasa, Malindi/Watamu and Lamu offer an alluring coastal charm that is a heavenly experience for visitors in these areas. One can indulge in various activities including game fishing, water-skiing, snorkeling and deep sea diving
Maasai Mara
Arguably the most fantastic wildlife reserve in Africa, the Maasai Mara stretches 200 sq miles encompassing open plains, woodlands and riverine forest. Contiguous with the plains of the Serengeti, the Mara is home to a breathtaking array of life. The Maasai Mara is among one of the seven new wonders of the world owing to the great wildebeest migration. Between the months of July and October more than 1 million Wildebeest gather together in one massive herd and fight against swift raging currents of the Mara River and waiting crocodiles as they make the magical crossing to the Serengeti. The Mara is also home to some of the world?s most treacherous natural predators.
Lamu
Lamu is one of East Africa's oldest towns on an island off Kenya?s coast. A magical place of great natural beauty where tranquility rules. Lamu is steeped in history, from its rolling sand dunes to the depths of the Indian Ocean's sparkling waters. It is a place whose history is as mysterious and fascinating as the winding streets of it?s ancient stone town. You can experience dhow trips, that take you beyond Lamu into the surrounding archipelago, which encompasses ancient ruins and a few luxurious and exclusive resorts, which lie hidden among the islands of Manda, Siyu, Pate and Kiwayu
Mamba Village
Nairobi Mamba Village is located in the capital city, Nairobi, approximately 13 kilometers away from the city centre. The mamba village is a simulation of natural splendour lying on a 30-acre piece of land complete with a 4-star lounge and several restaurants and a seating capacity for more than 500 guests at a time. A crocodile farm is among the main attractions at this spot and the pens are home to more than 70 Nile crocodiles.
Mount Kenya
This is the second tallest peak in Africa. The mountain is very popular to hikers and mountain climbers. Its snow-covered peak adds a majestic touch to the scenic topography of the area surrounding the mountain.
Fort Jesus
The Portuguese people were the first outsiders to visit Kenya. Vasco da Gama visited Kenya in 1498. The Portuguese gained control over the eastern part of the country after 1505. They attacked Mombasa and created a fort over there in the year 1593 famously known as Fort Jesus. Fort Jesus stands today and is located on the edge of a coral ridge overlooking the entrance to the old Port of Mombasa
