Diani Beach
South of Mombasa, Diani Beach is one of Kenya's most popular beach destinations. White sand, clear waters, and palm-lined resorts make it ideal for swimming, diving, and relaxed seaside stays.
Hell's Gate National Park
Unlike most parks in Kenya, Hell's Gate allows visitors to explore on foot or by bicycle. Dramatic gorges, geothermal features, and towering cliffs make it a striking stop near Lake Naivasha.
Lake Naivasha
Set in the Great Rift Valley, Lake Naivasha is a freshwater lake known for its rich birdlife, hippos, and relaxed scenery. Boat trips offer close encounters with wildlife along the shoreline, while nearby attractions such as Hell's Gate National Park and geothermal areas add variety to a visit. It is a popular stop between Nairobi and the western Rift Valley.
Lake Nakuru National Park
Located in the Great Rift Valley, Lake Nakuru is famous for its birdlife and is one of the best places in Kenya to see both black and white rhinos. The surrounding park also offers forested areas, waterfalls, and viewpoints over the lake.
Lamu Old Town
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Lamu Old Town is one of the oldest continually inhabited Swahili settlements in East Africa. Its narrow lanes, coral-stone houses, and absence of cars create a timeless atmosphere unlike anywhere else in Kenya.
Maasai Mara
Kenya's most famous wildlife reserve is known for its vast open plains, big cat populations, and the annual wildebeest migration. Game drives here offer some of the most dramatic safari experiences in Africa, particularly between July and October.
Mombasa
A historic port city shaped by centuries of trade, Mombasa combines Swahili, Arab, and European influences. Old Town's narrow streets, Fort Jesus, and the Indian Ocean coastline give the city a distinct character and a slower coastal rhythm.
Mount Kenya
Africa's second-highest peak rises dramatically from the central highlands. The surrounding national park offers hiking, climbing, and scenic drives through forests, moorlands, and alpine terrain, with cooler temperatures than the lowlands.
Nairobi
Kenya's capital is a dynamic starting point that blends modern city life with wildlife and history. Visitors can explore museums, markets, cafés, and galleries, or head just outside the city to Nairobi National Park, where giraffes and rhinos roam against a skyline of glass towers.
Nairobi National Park
Just 7 km (4 miles) south of central Nairobi, Nairobi National Park offers a rare safari experience within sight of the city skyline, with rhinos, giraffes, and other wildlife roaming open savannah against a backdrop of glass towers.
Samburu National Reserve
Located in a semi-arid region north of the central highlands, Samburu is known for its stark scenery and unique wildlife species adapted to dry conditions. The reserve offers a quieter, more remote safari experience.
Tsavo National Park
One of the largest national park areas in Africa, Tsavo is divided into Tsavo East and Tsavo West. It is known for its rugged landscapes, lava fields, and red-dusted elephants, offering a wilder and less crowded safari experience.
