At a glance
Kenya is the holiday many people dream of. Just a drive a short distance from Nairobi and you will find yourself immersed in the tradition of the Maa tribes, experiencing the Maasai ceremonial songs and dance. These nomadic warriors live on the plains of Kenya, driving cattle and protecting them from lions and other predators. Game safaris are another highlight - expect to see black and white rhinos, hippos, giraffes, elephants, lions, cheetahs and leopards. The Nakuru Game Park is spectacular, evoking classic images of Africa with the yellow bark acacia trees, and thousands of flamingos bordering Lake Nakuru |
