Luxury Holidays to Kenya

Overview

Known as the birthplace of safari, Kenya is a stunning destination for any holiday. Sweeping grasslands filled with herds of wildlife, snow-capped mountains presiding over desert landscapes, a tribal culture, and white-sand beaches lapped by the Indian Ocean; a luxury holiday to Kenya is the African adventure you’ve always dreamed about.

Kenya’s geography has resulted in a diverse range of habitats, rich in wildlife from big cats to bird species. The Great Rift Valley slices through the heart of the country, dotted with volcanoes and lakes, and blanketed by forest. Africa’s second-largest mountain, Mount Kenya, dominates the horizon, while the Laikipia plateau stretches between them, home to abundant wildlife from the Kenyan animal kingdom, colourful tribespeople and family-friendly activities.

This is the home of the Maasai Mara, where vast savannahs are filled with wildebeest and zebra during the Great Migration. The country is also home to rare black rhino, the last two white rhinos in the world, the red-dusted elephants of Tsavo National Park, and masses of flamingos congregating on the lakes of the Great Rift Valley.

With 300 miles of palm-fringed coastline, where the azure waters of the Indian Ocean meet golden beaches, you can even spend your days swimming, snorkelling, scuba diving, fishing, kite surfing, sailing on a dhow and gazing at stunning sunsets.

Places to visit

It’s worth making time to visit Kenya’s intriguing capital, Nairobi. Just a short drive out of the business district is the Nairobi National Park. Discover the uncanny view of Kenya’s wildlife prowling the open plains in front of a backdrop of skyscrapers and city life. Continue your exploration of the city by indulging in the rich history of one of Kenya’s most famous visitors at the Karen Blixen Museum.

If you crave more wildlife, then venture out to the famous Lake Nakuru, known for the thousands of stunningly pink flamingos that nest along its shores. Oftentimes there are so many flamingos wading through the shallow waters that it’s hard to see the lake itself.
