KENYA
THE PRIDE OF AFRICA
The versatile Kenya is the country where today’s safari originated. The world-famous Maasai Mara nature reserve with its annual migration of millions of ungulates, the colorful Maasai culture, safaris at the foot of Kilimanjaro and the snow-white beaches on the Indian Ocean, have been attracting travelers to this diverse country since colonial times. Karen Blixen’s world-famous novel ‘Out of Africa’ sketches the backdrop of breathtaking landscapes, special tribes such as the Samburu and the adventure in nature reserves full of wild animals.

AMBOSELI
NATIONAL PARK
The Amboseli National Park is located in the southeast of Kenya on the border with Tanzania and is one of the most iconic safari areas in Africa due to its location at the foot of the majestic Kilimanjaro.

Lake Naivasha
Wildlife-rich Lake Naivasha is both a scenic stop in its own right and a great base for hikes to Hell’s Gate National Park and Mount Longonot.
Set in the Rift Valley floor 90 kilometers northwest of Nairobi, Naivasha is a near-circular freshwater lake fringed by lush forests of fever trees and overlooked by the ragged-edged of the volcanic Mount Longonot.
