Since the publication of Out of Africa and the subsequent movie, westerners have been dreaming of Kenya, with good reason.

If you have a sense of adventure and a love of nature, a journey into Kenya's wild heart is unforgettable. Your appetite for Land Cruisers, safaris and big game can be satisfied. Head to Tsavo National Park, among the best places in Africa to see lions, elephants, leopards and the famous wildebeest migration.

Kenya will win you over with its rolling grasslands of the Maasai Mara (and those oh so photogenic Maasai warriors); searing deserts on the shores of the Jade Sea; Mt Kenya National Park and its glacial ridges (a trekkers oasis); Snorkellers will love the Marine National Park in Malindi on the Indian Ocean coast. Kenya's biggest city, Nairobi, with the baddest of reputations, is sidestepped by many visitors, but actually has an interesting urban appeal with its cafes and nightlife.
