One Million Wildebeest Gather in the Serengeti Plains Suddenly Tanzania

Kenya is more and more popular in foreign tourists - it is not surprising if we look at what the country has to offer. Who are the top seven things to see and do in Kenya?

First Going on safari

Kenya maintains a well-managed national parks system, which is one of the best in Africa. This has made Kenya the top safari destination in the world. Masai Mara, Amboseli National Park and is the most popular wildlife resorts, and to attract high tourist season (July-August and December-January). But there are many hidden gems in Safari on the left.

My favorite is the spectacular Mount Elgon National Park - the area around the third largest mountain in Africa - and a small but beautiful Saiwa Swamp National Park. And to attract more visitors, but the breathtaking beauty and tranquility.

Second Visit the Swahili coast of regio

In the coastal region of Kenya stands out. The Arabs used to visit this part along the Indian Ocean, from the 9th century, and this has led to the famous Swahili culture carpet - a vibrant African, Arab and Indian cultures blend. Many people are Muslim, although liberal type.

If you have the opportunity to watch the activities Taarab, seductive African-Arab-Indian music played in weddings and other celebrations. And, of course, Kenya has 500 kilometers of white sandy beaches with excellent and affordable beach resorts, where you can dine and sip Martinis right to their private beach.

Third Visit the tribal village

In particular, the Masai, Samburu and Turkana people still live in traditional, tribal way of life. It is possible to visit their villages and make the tea ceremony or watch traditional dances. However, ask the tour guide will direct you to a good opportunity, too many tourist visits into a high-pressure sales events demoralize.

4th Experience wildebeest migratio

Perhaps best of all Kenya's travel advice. Every year in September-October, suddenly between half to one million wildebeest gather the Serengeti plains of Tanzania, after which they trek through the great circle in southern Kenya and back. This is one of the greatest wildlife show on earth. Some houses are strategically placed so you will not itself in the middle.

5th Balloon Journey

Short balloon trips over one of the largest resorts in wildlife - especially the Masai Mara, is becoming increasingly popular. They usually leave very early in the morning, you spend the first hours after sunrise gliding over the plains of Kenya, which is the best time for animal watching. There is a breakfast with champagne after landing. Price about $ 400, they are not cheap, however.

6th Visit the Nairobi

Who's afraid of big bad Nairobi? It does not have the best reputation, but actually I'd like to Nairobi, and if you're a little common sense precautions, nothing unpleasant could happen to you. Nairobi is a truly cosmopolitan place where Africans and whites of all nationalities gathered.

My favorite place is simmers for late breakfast with good coffee and newspapers, and the New Florida Club (nicknamed the "madhouse"), which is actually a pretty crazy place early in the morning ... And just in Nairobi is a huge Nairobi National Park, Nairobi, one of the few capitals in the world where you can be wild bush in the middle with 30 minutes from downtown by taxi.
