Kenya Top Safari Destinations

Maasai Mara Game Reserve	Amboseli Game Reserve
The Masai Mara is one of the best known and most popular reserves in the whole of Africa. Seasoned safari travellers, travel writers, documentary makers and researchers often admit that the Masai Mara is one of their favourite places. So why is that? Perhaps it is because of the 'big skies', the open savannahs, the romance of films like 'Out of Africa' and certainly because of the annual wildebeest migration, the density of game, the variety of birdlife and the chance of a hot air balloon ride.

Mt Kenya	Kenya Coast
Kenya is located in the eastern part of Africa. It has an area of about 150,000 square kilometers. It is a very popular tourist destination and also a hotspot for climbing and hiking. In the central highlands a couple of hundred kilometers north of the equator lays Mt.Kenya. It is here, where the Kikuyu god ngai resides. It is the highest mountain in Kenya and the second highest in Africa. more about Mt Kenya	Kenya has a stunning coastline with strategically positioned ports for ocean trading. It is because of this reason that it became more Arabic than African. Kenya's second largest city and main port is Mombasa and regular chanting from the Mosques proclaims it to be a strongly Muslim district. The old town has a great deal of historic charm but the heart of the new city is unexciting. More about Kenya Coast

To get here you will cross the equator at Nanyuki and go to the northern hemisphere by passing the snow capped Mt Kenya lying astrand the equator line and huge blue mountains serve as a back drop to this game reserve.
