Kenya is popularly known as the home of the safari. The land is full of spectacular contrasts ranging from the prehistoric wonders of the Rift Valley, the magnificent beaches on the Indian Ocean, the centres of cultural activities in Nairobi and the Tsavo and Amboseli National Parks. Ernest Hemingway wrote that it was “unfathomable, unimaginable and incredible and totally unforgettable”.
Its wildlife which is one of the richest in the world, first attracted the British and European aristrocracy. Until the 1920’s Winston Churchill & Theodore Roosevelt made the country their preferred hunting ground. Later, Hollywood and Hemingway took over and “safari” became synonymous with Kenya. In Swahili (Kenya’s national language), the word Safari means “journey”. Kenya offers wildlife safari, cultural safari, beach safari, sport safari, scuba diving safari, golf safari, adventure safari, scenic safari and specialist safari.
