Kenya and Tanzania
are two major tourist destinations in East Africa known for its wildlife,
Beaches and birding etc. Kenya
is regarded by many as the 'Jewel of East Africa', and has some of the
continent's finest beaches, most magnificent wildlife and scenery, and an
incredibly sophisticated tourism infrastructure. It is a startlingly
beautiful land, from the coral reefs and white sand beaches of the coast to
the summit of Mount Kenya, crowned with clouds and bejeweled by strange
giant alpine plants. [ more ] |

Between these two extremes is the acacia-studded rolling savannah, which is
home to game parks such as Amboseli, the Masai Mara, Samburu and Tsavo; the
lush, agricultural highlands with their sleek green coat of coffee and tea
plantations; and the most spectacular stretch of the Great Rift Valley, the
giant scar across the face of Africa. Kenya
and Tanzania home to the Migration where two million Wildebeests and Zebras
cross over from Serengeti National Park on to Masai Mara and
Vice-Versa.
Above all, Kenya is a place for safaris, and one-tenth of all land in Kenya
is designated as national parks and reserves. Just about every African
plains animal is present. Over 50 parks and reserves cover all habitats from
desert to mountain forest, and there are even six marine parks in the Indian
Ocean. |
