Kenya was popularized by early explorers who made Nairobi a famous safari base that came to serve royals and dignitaries in the early 1900s. Kenya is steeped in nostalgia and the romance of early explorers like Churchill and Teddy Roosevelt, who journeyed through Kenya on safari in the early 1900s. Today, Kenya remains among the top safari destinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kenya lies across the equator with vast savannah grasslands, which are home to big game. Kenya also boasts snow-capped mountains and pristine beaches along the Indian Ocean. A definitive feature is the Great Rift Valley, which cuts across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kenya is dotted with conservation areas, including Amboseli, Nakuru, Tsavo and the Masai Mara, which plays host to the phenomenal spectacle of the great migration and remains the top attraction. The great migration sees over 1.5 million wildebeest and thousands of zebra and gazelles traverse a continuous circular 500-mile route from the Masai Mara to the Serengeti as the great herd follows the rains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

November to February is the calving season, so the plains are littered with newborn calves, making it a feasting season for the big cats.

This is the time for river crossings, where the drama of the big crocodiles eating to their brim as they take full advantage of the plentiful herds crossing their river territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The diversity of the people of Kenya makes Kenya a melting pot of African cultures. The Arab influenced Swahili culture of the Indian Ocean coast meets Bantu and Nilotic cultures, creating unique infusions and foods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
