INTRODUCTION

Spectacular scenery, great variety and concentration of wildlife, bird life and sun-drenched beaches- a land of infinite contrasts make. Kenya one of the world's most desirable tourist destinations, and rightly so. Its combination of wildlife safaris and tropical coastline offer a unique two-in-one holiday. Large areas of Kenya are devoted solely to the protection of wildlife, at the same time providing the visitor with the ideal opportunity to see the animals and birds in their natural habitat.

The annual wildebeest migration to the Maasai Mara is the word's greatest wildlife spectacle, something not to be missed if you're visiting Kenya between August and October. Kenya is the original safari destination and today the teeming herds of plains game, their attendant predators and the endless rolling grasslands still cast a fascinating spell on all who see them. Landscape and climate vary tremendously and every game park or reserve has its own unique character. A week or more on safari might include the splendour of the Great Rift Valley with its volcanoes and lakes, the verdant farms and forests of the Highland areas, the arid bush country North of Mt.Kenya, the wide open plains of the Maasai Mara ecosystem or the grandiose volcanic Savannah lands of Tsavo and Amboseli.

The excitement and adventure of the safari is perfectly complemented by a relaxing stay on the Indian Ocean coastline, with its beautiful beaches and wide choice of excellent hotels. The people of Kenya are as varied as the country. There are over 40 different tribes in Kenya, each with its own culture, producing a rich Kaleidoscope of tradition and folklore.
