For a perfect safari experience, Kenya stands out as one of the most exciting places to go for a vacation. Safari is a Swahili term which means "travel" or "journey".

As a country, Kenya is proud to have diverse wildlife and national parks which are homes to various species of animals. Today, it has 59 national parks and various game preserves. Inside its wilderness are pristine natural habitats and ecosystems where a wide array of flora and fauna reside. With beautiful terrain, the whole East African country offers a panorama of fantastic sights and sounds.

So, what should you expect when you venture for a safari tour in Kenya? Feast your eyes on various kinds of animals like jungle birds, buffaloes, elephants, rhinoceros, leopards and lions. Expect to witness the flight of migratory birds as well as the yearly migration of wildebeests or gnus which occur during summer and spring. More than that, there is vibrant marine life in the coral reefs of this country. Divers and snorkelers would be delighted to see all kinds of sea creatures and fish. For those who want to see endangered species, Kenya offers tourists a unique chance to see the black rhinoceros, sea turtles, Colobus monkey, bongo and giant forest hog.

Aside from the wildlife, visitors can also enjoy and learn about the indigenous people and culture. The most amazing fact about it is that it has remained relatively untainted and unchanged despite the advent of modern ideas. One way to experience this cultural immersion is to travel by a personal van. You can also use other means of transportation like a boat, bicycle, or even a horse.

Then, after spending your time in the wildlife, there awaits the magnificent snow-capped peaks of Mt. Kenya. Traverse its breath-taking moors too with lots of fantastic sights to see. Plus, you can also play golf because there are more than three dozen golf courses in Kenya. However, this is also a chance for you to see how some wild animals run across a golf course as you enjoy playing.

As to nightly entertainment, the country's capital, Nairobi, houses various disco pubs and clubs which are all open until sunrise. Travellers can spend their nights at Nairobi and enjoy all forms of nightly activities with their friends and family.

Food lovers can explore rich and special cuisines which are very authentic and traditional. Using locally grown crops and vegetables, the most famous Swahili cuisine combines African and Mid-Eastern cooking tradition and taste. Of course, these are all available in various restaurants in Nairobi. Some of these restaurants even offer a wider range of menu like Korean barbecue, Ethiopian recipes, and French food. For instance, visitors will find Ethiopian hamburgers and tandoori. On top of that, these various foods are also served in al fresco dining. Since the climate in Kenya is perfect for this kind of set up, a lot of people enjoy the experience of eating outdoors while enjoying and coming with the beauty of Mother Nature.

When it comes to the price, Kenya holidays are surprisingly affordable, especially considering the breadth of things to do.
