Holidays in Kenya
Holidays to Kenya are a must, a world leader for wildlife, landscapes and wonderful friendly people. The renowned Masai Mara and Amboseli National Parks continue to attract a new breed of game hunters - armed only with cameras. There is no getting away from it, Kenya is one of the best places in the world for safaris and the chance to see the Big Five (elephant, lion, leopard, rhino and buffalo) at close quarters, but there is much more to holidays in Kenya than just this.To wash the African safari dust out of your hair, take some time to enjoy one of the elegant beach resorts on the Kenyan Coast. Mombasa and Malindi offer a little taste of history with colonial architecture and fantastic craft markets, while the calm and tranquil ocean offers a range of water sports and some fantastic diving and snorkelling amongst the shelter of the coral reef.
