Kenya lies astride the equator on the eastern coast of Africa. Kenya is bordered in the north by Sudan and Ethiopia, in the east by Somalia, on the southeast by the Indian Ocean, on the southwest by Tanzania and to the west by Lake Victoria and Uganda.

Kenya is notable for its' geographical variety. The low-lying, fertile coastal region, fringed with coral reefs and islands, is back by a gradually rising coastal plain, a dry region covered with savanna and thornbush.

At an altitude of about 1,524 m and 300 miles inland, the plain gives way in the southwest to a high plateau, rising in parts to 3,048 m, in which about 85% of the population and the majority of economic enterprise are concentrated. The northern section of Kenya, forming three-fifths of the whole territory, is arid and of semidesert character, as is the bulk of the southeastern quarter. In the high plateau area, known as the Kenya Highlands, lie Mt. Kenya (5,200 m), Mt Elgon (4,322m) and the Aberdare Ranger (rising to over 3,963 m). The plateau is bisected from north to south by the Rift Valley, part of the great geological fracture that can be traced from Syria through the Red Sea and East Africa to Mozambique. In the north of Kenya, the valley is broad and shallow, embracing Lake Turkana (160 miles long), while further south it narrows and deepens and is walled by escarpments 610 to 930 mtr high. West of the Rift Valley, the plateau descends to the plains that border Lake Victoria. The principal rivers are the Tana and the Athi, flowing southeast to the Indian Ocean, the Ewaso Ngiro flowing northeast to the swamps of the Lorian Plain, and the Nzoia, Yala and Gori, which drain eastward into Lake Victoria. Low plains rise to central highlands, divided by the Great African Rift Valley.

The African continent has something for everyone: from the most hard bitten adventurer to the most discerning connoisseur of food and wine.

It is inherently a wild and adventurous area that has only been partly tamed by man, its sophistication apparent in its fashionable cities and charming towns, its primitive origins still evident in its rugged peaks and sprawling savannah and desert lands. Travel to Africa for extraordinary encounters with its exceptional wildlife on a safari not to be forgotten any time soon. Alternatively, travel to Africa to get away from it all and enjoy spectacular, uncrowded powder–white sand beaches. Or, why not spice the journey with some culture? Discover one of the world’s last unique and unspoiled continents.

The idyllic islands adrift in the Indian Ocean, on the other hand, are just waiting for the chance to seduce elegant travellers with their warm waters, colourful spice markets and a unique style of barefoot luxury… In general, the style of the Indian Ocean is that of relaxed simplicity with several, truly stylish hotels built from nothing but palm, wood and thatch. Where shoes can be forgotten and computers are a myth.

Kenya’s wilderness areas are famous world wide. The name Kenya has become synonymous with the great wilds of Africa.But they represent far more than you would ever expect, protecting and showcasing a broad range of habitats and species. They are complex ecologies that depend on the conservation of diverse natural resources and systems. The Parks, Sanctuaries and Conservation areas co-exist with and depend on the communities that surround them, and work together to protect the future.

Coast
The Kenyan coast is lined with pristine white sand beaches fringing the warm inviting waters of the Indian Ocean. Here the wilderness meets the sea, and the ocean itself holds a world of spectacular coral reefs teeming with life and colour.
The coast is a place with a long and exotic history, its calm blue waters the traditional passage of the Arabian Spice Trade.

Along the length of this coast, Arab and Portuguese forts, Old Towns and the overgrown, deserted ruins of Swahili outposts bear witness to this fascinating history. In the winding medieval streets and bustling markets of Lamu and Mombasa Old Town, life has continued unhurried and unchanged for more than 400 years.

Travelling from lake to lake is a journey through a world of contrasts: From papyrus fringed Naivasha with its abundance of birdlife, through Nakuru with its famous flamingo population, the steam geysers of Bogoria, the crocodiles and hippo of Baringo and North to the mighty Jade Sea of Turkana ...

Desert
The North of Kenya is a vast trackless expanse of desert and semi desert wilderness. This hot, sparsely populated land is a place of harsh and stunning beauty.
Among the stunning cliffs and ranges and thorn scrub of the North, live some of Kenya’s last nomadic tribes. For these people, the desert wilderness is an integral part of their lives, and they cross these lands with camel trains following traditional routes older than any living memory.

For many people, this is the real Kenya, where the great empty spaces hold the promise of real adventure ...Maralal and Beyond This frontier town is the gateway to the great Northern wilderness ...Marsabit and Beyond A beautiful oasis of green set high above the desert floor, Marsabit is surrounded by pristine wilderness, and countless elephants.
