Your destinations

Kenya

A land of untamed wilderness, striking landscapes, and vibrant cultures, Kenya is the beating heart of East Africa. From the sweeping savannahs of the Maasai Mara to the shimmering coastline of the Indian Ocean, this diverse country offers an unforgettable blend of adventure and relaxation. Whether you're spotting the Big Five on safari, trekking through lush highlands, or soaking up Swahili history on the coast, Kenya’s magic is impossible to resist.

 

 

Must-sees:

  • The Great Migration: Witness thousands of wildebeest thunder across the Maasai Mara between July and October.
  • Amboseli’s elephants: Marvel at herds of majestic elephants with snow-capped Kilimanjaro as a backdrop.
  • Lamu Old Town: Step back in time in this atmospheric Swahili settlement with its labyrinthine alleys and dhow-lined shores.
  • Lake Nakuru: See flocks of pink flamingos shimmering on the lake, along with rhinos and baboons.
  • Diani Beach: Sink your toes into the powdery white sand of this idyllic coastal retreat.

 

 

Culinary culture:
Kenyan cuisine is a delicious fusion of African, Indian, and Arabic influences. Indulge in nyama choma (grilled meat) with a side of ugali (a maize-based staple) or savour a fragrant plate of Swahili pilau along the coast. Don't miss a cup of freshly brewed Kenyan coffee or a steaming mug of chai, both an essential part of daily life.

 

 

Dive deeper:
Beyond the famous safari parks, Kenya’s cultural scene is equally compelling. Visit Kisii for traditional soapstone carvings, or experience the vibrant rhythms of benga music in Nairobi’s nightlife spots. For a glimpse of ancient customs, spend time with the Samburu, whose traditions echo those of their Maasai cousins but with a unique twist.

 

 

Good to know:

Kenya’s dry seasons (June–October & January–February) are best for wildlife spotting. The local currency is the Kenyan Shilling (KES), and while English and Swahili are widely spoken, learning a few Swahili phrases will earn you warm smiles.
