Kenya offers a vacation sanctuary with wildlife, waterfronts and wonder
2011-04-22
The rugged landscape of Kenya is home to large indigenous wildlife reserves and adventurous outdoor activities. Travelers looking for an authentic African experience may consider this culturally rich country as their upcoming destination.
Kenya has a stunning coastline comparable to many other popular beaches and waterfronts. The first marine sanctuary of its kind in the country is Watamu National Park. The staff strive towards conservation of Kenyan aquatic life, especially at their sea turtle haven, where visitors are welcome to volunteer.
As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Mount Kenya provides unique summit hiking trails for the advanced mountaineer, and less challenging ones for intermediates along the base. This second highest peak in Africa is actually an extinct volcano.
Many travelers embark on trips to Kenya for their world famous safari excursions. Parks offer an array of features from traditionally furnished rooms in lodges to exclusive jeep journeys with private guides. Travelers may want to consider a pair of binoculars to ensure that no animal is missed on the trip through the bush.
