Kenya... The Country

"I never knew of a morning in Africa when I woke up and was not happy" - Ernest Hemingway. A sentiment shared by most who visit Kenya, the cradle of mankind.

Kenya is an undoubtedly a gorgeous African country. With lush plains, awe-inspiring mountain ranges, impossibly beautiful weather, a coastal region, abundant Wildlife, a gracious culture of people and home to the cradle of mankind with the earliest fossils ever excavated. It’s the lone acacia silhouetted on the savannah against a horizon stretching into eternity. It is the snow-capped Mount Kenya almost on the equator and within sight of harsh deserts and the Great Rift Valley that once threatened to tear the continent asunder.  It is the land of the migrating wildebeest in the Masai Mara and the great predators roaming naturally around its Parks and Reserves. It is the dense forests reminiscent of the continent’s heart and the lush, palm-fringed coastline of the Indian Ocean. It is home to Africa’s best known people, the Samburu, the Masai, Turkana and the Kikuyu whose histories and daily struggles tell the story of a country and of a continent and it is the home to conservation and heritage of the most preserved eco systems recognized by UNESCO.
