 KENYA In a Nutshell The original safari destination and in many ways the best. The easiest and cheapest to get around independently and, due to the huge choice of accommodation, some of the cheapest safaris. Probably also the busiest but, with a sophisticated infrastructure and with many little-visited gems outside of the well-known parks for the experienced traveller, it is still the ideal safari destination for the African novice. Less ageing African Queen and more reclaiming its title as undisputed heavyweight champion of the safari world.Climate

Kenya is notable for its geographical variety from low-lying fertile coastal regions to dry savannah and thorn bush regions and high plateaux to semi-arid desert in the North. The climate also varies from tropical humidity and dry heat to the cool alpine air of the higher regions. There are two rainy seasons. Kenya is 2.4 times bigger than the UK.
