Travel Information

Kenya, officially the Republic of Kenya, is a country in East Africa lying along the Indian Ocean coast and the equator. Bordered by Somalia, Ethiopia, Sudan, Uganda, and Tanzania, Kenya has a land area of 580,000 square kilometers and a population of over 50 million people.

Kenya offers travelers an unparalleled range of options. The incredible diversity of landscapes, cultures, wildlife, and activities means endless possibilities. Stunning landscapes set the scene — from Kakamega's tropical rainforests to Indian Ocean beaches, from the snow-capped peaks of Mount Kenya to the rolling golden grasslands of the Masai Mara, from the searing deserts on the shores of Lake Turkana to the Great Rift Valley.

Wildlife safaris are Kenya's crown jewel — legendary parks like Masai Mara, Tsavo, and Amboseli are among the best places on Earth to see lions, elephants, leopards, rhinos, and the famous Great Wildebeest Migration. Kenya ranks among the top five bird-watching destinations with over 1,100 recorded species.

Nairobi, Kenya's bustling capital, features the unique Nairobi National Park (the world's only national park within a major city), the David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage, Giraffe Centre, and Karen Blixen Museum.
