For a first visit to Africa, travel in Kenya is highly recommended as it offers diversity and the elements that are to many, the very essence of Africa - superb game viewing, tribal people and stunning scenery. If you have been to Africa before you will be rewarded by Kenya's great abundance and contrasting eco-systems.

The country has a great diversity of physical features. Kenya is located on the east coast of Africa, with the Equator running almost straight through the middle of the country. With the Equator traversing the country, there are no four seasons as in Europe but two rain seasons at almost the same time of the year. The rains fall in short heavy down pours or violent storms preceded by heavy black clouds as a warning. Sunshine is experienced throughout most days of the year although it becomes cooler during the months of June, July and August.

In Kenya it is possible to leave Nairobi, a city with a thriving business heart powered by the latest information technology, and drive in just a few hours to a place where life is lived in accordance to tradition and custom, where warriors armed with spears drive cattle into thorn brush enclosures to protect them from lions at night.
