Kenya boasts more wildlife parks and reserves than any other country in Africa, with more than 60 national parks and game reserves set aside for biodiversity conservation. Fossils found in Kenya reveal that primates were here for more than 20 million years and hunter-gatherer groups were the first-ever people. 

Today, some half a million Maasai inhabit a total land area of 160,000 square km, surviving as nomadic and subsistence farmers, in southern Kenya and northern Tanzania along the Great Rift Valley. 

Highlights

  • Mombasa is a fascinating Muslim Swahili city with a rich food culture, set on a small island linked to the mainland by ferry and bridge.
  • The inland highlands showcase verdant tea plantations, reflecting the British colonial era. 
  • Huge flocks of pink flamingos wade at Lake Nakuru within Lake Nakuru National Park. 
  • Historical mosques, and colonial-era forts at Mombasa, Malindi, and Lamu; coffee plantations at Thika; and the beaches along the Swahili Coast.
