COUNTRY PRESENTATION

Kenya is one of the world’s greatest tourism destinations, known for its remarkable diversity of landscapes, wildlife and cultures. From sweeping savannahs to tropical beaches and coral reef. From dense equatorial forests to mighty snow-capped mountains and more, Kenya is a world unto itself.

Key attractions include witnessing the magnitude of the Wildebeest migration, the diversity visible in the variety of national parks and the tropical coastline famous for white sand beaches lined with palms.

Nairobi is East Africa’s main hub and the starting point for travel and safaris in this region. Situated at 5,500ft, the city was originally founded as a railway station in 1899. It marks the crossroads between the Northern Highlands, the low-lying Rift Valley and the Eastern Savannah.

There is an abundance of safari and wildlife destinations in Kenya to choose from, including the Maasai Mara, the Rift Valley, Mount Kenya, Amboseli National Park, Tsavo East & West Parks and Samburu National Reserve.

The Kenyan south coast is a popular destination for a beach break and the Mombasa Marine National Park, Shanzu beach and Diani beach are firm favourites of this region. The north coast also has an allure with highlights such as Malindi and Watamu beaches and the Lamu archipelago..

WHEN TO VISIT

Given the variety of landscapes found in Kenya, from mountainous highlands to savannah woodland, tropical rain forests to desert scrubland, the climate can vary depending on the region.

At the coast, the weather is hot and often humid, in the north and north-east region, the days are dry and hot, and mornings in the central highlands can be cool. There are two rainy seasons which affect most of the country. The short rains usually occur from late October through to December. The long rains occur between March and June. Rainfall is seldom continuous over long periods and dry, sunny periods do occur during the rainy seasons.

The best time to view the Wildebeest migration in the Maasai Mara is from mid July to early October. The best weather at the coast is from August through to April. The driest month is January and June, July and August are the coolest months.

HOW TO GET THERE

Nairobi is the most effective gateway for all international arrivals in the region. There are daily scheduled flights into Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA). There are also less frequent international flights into Mombasa. There are daily domestic flights operating from JKIA, Wilson Airport (also in Nairobi) and from other smaller Kenyan towns and cities, such as Mombasa.

A number of charter companies operate flight services to the various airstrips located in the national parks and on private game reserves. There are also direct charter flight services between Nairobi and the Kenyan coastal cities of Mombasa and Diani Beach.
