A Kenya safari has long been one of the most popular African holidays, often combined with a beach stay. It is indeed still very good for this, but in the last few years has 'grown up' to offer a lot more than the fairly standard fare for which it had become known. Safaris in Kenya are now less about mass market safari holidays, and even the beach holiday options are far far better than they were. It is becoming a very good ecotourism and fair trade destination.
Kenya's most famous highlight is the Masai Mara. Kenya safari holidays here will definitely bring you close to some fantastic wildlife. However there is more the Kenya than just the Mara. There are the Rift Valley lakes (freshwater lakes - Naivasha , Turkana and Baringo, and soda lakes - Nakuru, Elementaita, Bogoria and Natron) and the huge Lake Victoria, plus many hilly / mountainous areas such as Mount Kenya, Mount Elgon, the Mathews Ranges and the Aberdares.
And of course there is Kenya’s 480km coastline which is the classic image of a tropical paradise; sweeping, white beaches bordering turquoise water teeming with colourful marine life and dotted with idyllic islands. All backed by the outstanding wildlife of the Kenyan wilderness and the fascinating culture of the towns and villages.
