Welcome to Magical Kenya...
Kenya has become synonymous with the word ‘Safari’. This is largely
because this is where it all began, in the best game parks and reserves,
located within her boarders. Kenya is the home of the Big Five and much
more and has over 40 natural parks and reserves which play host to a
wide variety of animals, including all of the Big Five – the elephant,
buffalo, lion, leopard and rhino.
World’s Best Playground.
Adventure on Land, Water and Air
For the fun and adventurous, Kenya has something for you too. Get
your adrenaline going sky diving in Diani, rock climbing at Hells’ Gate
National Park, explore ancient caves in Suswa, white water raft in
Sagana or kite surf in Watamu. Climb Africa’s second highest
mountain, go on a camel trek in Northern Kenya or see the wildebeest
migration while floating silently above the herd on a hot air balloon.
Create your own unforgettable memories that will last a lifetime right
here in Kenya.

Kenya has it all; a level of hospitality and a warm welcome as wide and
genuine as the Kenyan smile and a cuisine as diverse as her people.
Choices range from the Kenyan favorite 'nyama choma' or barbecued
meat – to authentic Indian curries, Thai and Mandarin delicacies and
French as well as Italian cuisine. Down at the Indian Ocean, the
traditional Swahili cuisine rules supreme – redolent of fresh ginger,
spices, chilies, coconut-cream, lime and crushed tamarind seeds.
Halal food is also widely available.
