Overland Expeditions To Kenya

A short guide about Overland Expeditions to Kenya

A visit to Kenya is a vacation with incredible sceneries and limitless travel options. Kenya is made up of many different landscapes and cultures, all quite different and beautiful. There is the Desert of the North and The Rift Valley.

Kenya’s capital city Nairobi and Nairobi National Park are probably the best place to start your travels, as it is served by international flights and has a very good tourist infrastructure. Kenya has twenty National Parks and Reserves packed full of the exclusive Big Five (Elephant, Leopard, Lion, Cape buffalo, and Rhinoceros). And to sustain these natural areas Kenya has many brilliant Lakes, such as Lake Victoria and Lake Naivasha. Also the great Mount Kenya is the second highest peak in Africa.

The Coast of Kenya is very picturesque with its white sands and emerald water, and its Swahili culture displays a unique mix of Arabic and Bantu influences. For a real paradise holiday visit the ‘Garden of Eden’, Maweni beach cottages in Tiwi. It features self-catering cottages, and every morning fresh sea food is delivered to your doorstep by the local fishermen. The north-western region is a vast, desolate, arid landscape where goat herders and bandits coexist. Roads are extremely rough, the terrain unforgiving. The city of Lodwar has the basic necessities of life, including Internet kiosks and semi-reliable electricity and Lokichoggio, is home to UN refugee camps with 30,000 plus people.

Maasai Mara National Game Reserve is connected with Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. The park is very accommodating to tourists, and offers many opportunities to see true African wildlife. Tourabout has many exciting holiday packages on offer to suit a variety of travellers, from basic safari camps to luxury complexes overlooking the savannah for the true romantic.
