Places to Visit

Koobi Fora Museum. More commonly known as the Cradle of Mankind, this World Heritage Site located on the shores of Lake Turkana is believed to be some to be where it all began.

Lake Bogoria National Reserve is a beautiful place with the pink cloud of flamingoes and the geysers bubbling with the most spectacular hot water volcanic springs. Much more is the fascinating phenomenon of the hot springs, an indication that molten rock does not lie far below the earth's surface.

Lake Magadi lies within Kenya, slightly north of Lake Natron and at the bottom of a steep-sided valley, the lowest point in the eastern or Gregory Rift Valley. The lake extends roughly 20 km N-S and is up to 6 km wide. Both lakes lie at some 600 m above sea level and are surrounded by plateaus and active natrocarbonatite volcanoes, reaching to more than 3,000 m asl. With an area of only 90 km2, Lake Magadi is one of the most saline and one of the smallest, alkaline lake sumps in the Rift Valley.

Lake Manyara National Park offers a wilderness experience in diverse habitats, from its Rift Valley soda lake to dense woodlands and steep mountainsides. Apart from a spectacular setting, the park is famous for its unusual tree-climbing lions and the vast elephant herds it was established to protect.

A broad but shallow freshwater lake, Lake Naivasha is a family-friendly playground perfect for boating or walking safaris on Crescent Island, a private game reserve populated by herbivores.

Also a world-class birding destination, Lake Naivasha's swamps and forests are a perfect place to spot hundreds of species of birds, while those looking for large mammals can see the cape buffalo, hippopotamus, and playful Colobus monkeys along the lake's shores.

In this park lie the shimmering waters of Lake Nakuru, which is packed with pink flamingoes.

Lake Nakuru National Park is also the first rhino sanctuary in Kenya, and it was established right after the rhinos became an endangered species. The park hosts a large population of them.

A window into Kenya's past, sleepy Lamu is one of the last true vestiges of traditional Swahili life.

Nestled in the heart of East Africa, bordering Tsavo West and Taita Hills, the LUMO Conservancy stands as an emblem of harmony between human ambition and nature’s endurance. What makes LUMO truly distinctive isn’t just its breathtaking landscapes or the dazzling diversity of flora and fauna it safeguards, but the robust commitment to sustainability and community involvement that forms its foundation.

This remote park offers some of the greatest visitor attractions, from walking safaris, chimpanzee viewing in their natural habitat, a climb to Mount Nkungwe and snorkeling in Lake Tanganyika. Accessible only by boat or by air, it makes it the least accessible and least visited.

A slice of paradise, the small coastal town of Malindi and the sleepy village of Watamu are perfect for those wanting to get away from it all.

When you think of Africa, the picture in your mind’s eye is quite likely a single acacia tree silhouetted on the savanna against a flame-red horizon, inching towards infinity. That classic image is almost certainly from the Maasai Mara.

The largest intact volcanic crater in the world, Menengai Crater, offers stunning views of nearby Lake Nakuru and Lake Bogoria, as well as the depths of the crater proper. Hiking, camping, picnicking, and photography are all possible on this towering edifice to geological upheaval.

Frequently compared to the Serengeti in the north, Mikumi is a sprawling national park that borders the massive Selous Game Reserve.
The broad Mkata floodplain is an ideal place to spot lions as they lazily survey the vast herds of buffalo, zebra, wildebeest, and impala that roam the grasslands. Elephants seek the shade of acacia stands while hippopotamuses wallow in pools close to the entrance gate.

Offering fantastic views of Kilimanjaro and a large population of African game, Mkomazi National Park is an often-overlooked Tanzanian gem with several species easier to see here than anywhere else in Tanzania.

Mombasa is Kenya's second-largest city and a major coastal hub, located along the Indian Ocean. It is well-known for its rich history, multicultural influences, and as a popular tourist destination.
