Magical Kenya is one of the major safari destinations on the African continent. It partly fits in the league of South Africa, Namibia, and the likes of Tanzania. There are a number of activities that you can do on your safari to Kenya. But in an attempt to bring you the best of Kenya; here are the best 5 things that you should do on your Kenya safari
Game Drives
Kenya has a total of 24 national parks and 15 national reserves. It is very possible to do game drives in many of these national parks and reserves but there are mainly five places that stand out in Kenya when it comes to wildlife safaris.
You cannot complete a true wildlife safari to Kenya without visiting the Masai Mara game reserve. On top of that; Amboseli national park, Tsavo national parks, Lewa conservancy, and lake Nakuru national park are all great places for Kenya wildlife safaris.
It is highly recommended to book a Kenya tailor-made safari instead of a self-drive safari in Kenya. However, it is important to note that each of them has its own advantages.
Flight safaris in Kenya
There are three flight safaris options that we highly recommend in Kenya; that is Mombasa air safaris, Nairobi air safaris, Masai mara, Amboseli, and lastly Tsavo national parks air safaris.
Flight safaris in Kenya have often been dubbed luxury safaris but that should not raise your expectations to think you will be flying in a luxury jet. Expect quality service but not in state-of-the-art airplanes.
The beauty of air safaris in Kenya is the fact that you can easily add destinations outside Kenya on your flight safari. Among the destinations outside Kenya that usually feature on flight safaris in Kenya include; Botswana, Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Tanzania.
Cultural Tours
Similar to many other African countries, Kenya has a diversity of tribes. And this usually draws a vague conclusion with an assumption that many tribes, automatically have a diversity of cultures.
Living in a society where people draw a lot of inspiration from television and media than they do from books and elders, there is limited culture to explore in Kenya! So it seems. But what remains is worth your time and money to explore. Among the most popular cultural tours is the Masai people’s experience.
But the beauty of the Kenya cultural safaris requires you to go beyond the Masai people. Among the other people to consider for your cultural tours in Kenya include; the Mijikenda Kaya forests, the Samburu, Turkana, and El Molo people. There are several other places with an eroded African culture but these are the most recommended.
Mombasa beach Trips
Kenya has a total of five marine national parks and reserves. These are; Watamu Marine national park & reserve, Kiunga marine national reserve, Mombasa marine national park & reserve, Kisite Mpunguti Marine park & reserve, and Malindi Marine national park and reserve.
However much many people simply think of Mombasa as a mere coastline with a lot of white sand beaches, there is more that Mombasa has to offer in terms of marine tours. Among the top recommended activities in Mombasa include; visiting the coral garden of Malindi, the underwater experience of Kiunga, and the dolphins of Kisite.
Mount Kenya
Tanzania is always at the forefront of mountaineering because of the Kilimanjaro mountain. But the leading nemesis of Kilimanjaro mountain in Africa is Mount Kenya.
Many travelers simply drive by mountain Kenya or simply consider a day trip with a short hike. But it is more rewarding to summit Mountain Kenya. In fact, the real East African mountaineering experience is summiting the Rwenzoris in Uganda, Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, and Mount Kenya in Kenya.
These three mountains are all snow-capped but there is one thing that stands out in regard to mount Kenya; it is harder to summit than Kilimanjaro mountain in Kenya.
