Key Locations to visit in Kenya
Lake Nakuru:
The lake has a wide variety of habitats and ecological diversity. If you love the beautiful flamingo this is the place to seem them in their full brilliance. In addition, there are a number of other water birds, and gentle herbivores patrolling the area. Plant, flower, and bird watchers might be in heaven here. So much to see and more!
Aberdare National Park:
Located in the southwestern part of Central Kenya. The park is north of Nairobi and east of the Rift Valley. The park covers an area of 296 square miles (767 sq km). Aberdare is a diverse eclectic collection of African ecosystems. The park provides a habitat for elephants, black rhinos, leopards, spotted hyenas, olive baboons, black and white colobus monkeys, buffalos, warthogs, and bushbucks among others.
Mount Kenya:
The second highest peak on the African continent and it is absolutely beautiful, instilling a more intense sense of adventure while also seeing the beautiful game, and intriguing landscapes. This is a must-see adventure for the thrill-seeker!
Regati Conservancy:
Looking for hands-on adventure. Fly fishing in the shadow of the mountain, mountain game, experiencing the thick triple canopy forests of Mt. Kenya.
Tsavo National Park:
This is a wild experience that very few will ever have, very community and conservation-focused, almost a behind-the-scenes tour of wildlife in Kenya with wild people!
Lake Naivasha:
Looking to experience a huge lake with immense biodiversity. Look no further! The hippos here are intense, in your face and dangerously close. You can camp right in the middle of where they come out of the water at night. Great as long as you do not have to take a bathroom break in the middle of the night! It is along the rift valley (an amazingly scenic area in its own right).
Mt Longonot:
Looking for an incredible workout, well it has found you, along this mountain! Mt. Longonot is also a great place to stop and immerse in deep thought while hiking around this life-sustaining volcano crater.
Lamu:
The Kenyan Coast is one of Kenya’s best-kept secrets, an aquatic safari with incredible cultural experiences. The “Swahili Coast” is steeped in Arabic history, and Lamu Island is hands down the place to go. There are only a few cars on the island, while the rest of the transportation is by donkey, Boda Boda, and boat. After 10+ years in Kenya, we go to Lamu more than any other destination. If you want to do something special and unique, this place has it all!
Lake Turkana:
Most tourists will never venture to the deserts of northern Kenya but they should. This place is EXTREME! Lake Turkana is a massive body of water amidst mosaic dessert wastelands. If you want to feel like you’ve stepped on another planet, this area will take you there. The people of Northern Kenya are as close to the source of humanity as you’ll get in Kenya. It’s much more real than just about any part of the country.
