Kenya Tours

This East African country has some of the continent's best beaches, magnificent scenery and unparalleled opportunities for viewing wildlife. Most Kenya tours begin and end in Nairobi, the capital. On the outskirts of the city, you can visit the Karen Blixen Museum, which occupies the farmhouse made famous by the book "Out of Africa."

But the real focus of any Kenya vacation is the game drives, where you explore the country's national parks and reserves "on safari." In a small van, traverse the forests and grasslands accompanied by knowledgeable guides who help you spot elephants, giraffes, zebra, antelope and a myriad of birdlife.

Kenya is diversely populated, with many different tribes. Among the most famous are the red-clad Masai, who still lead a semi-nomadic lifestyle of cattle herding. Learn more about these proud people on your Kenya tour with a fascinating stay at the Masai Mara Game Reserve, home to an exceptional population of lions and hippopotami.
