The Republic Of Kenya is a country in East Africa with its capital at Nairobi. It has borders with Ethiopia, Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda and the east coast is set against the Indian Ocean.
Safari tours are a very large part of Kenyan tourism. The wild animals are sometimes linked to well-known events, such as the annual Wildebeest Migration from Tanzania to Kenya. Although more expensive than touring in a land vehicle, hot air balloon safaris offer the perfect view of the scenery and action.
In many parts of Kenya, ancient history is still very much alive. Primitive tribes such as the Masai have retained the same lifestyle for thousands of years and are willing, for a price, to give a tour of their villages.
Kenya's coastline is short, but makes up in quality what it lacks in quantity. The south coast offers clean, white beaches covered with palm trees and equally clean, blue water lined with coral reefs ideal for diving and snorkeling.
These are home to some interesting species such as sea turtles and dolphins. Just a little further inland, the beaches are bordered by lush forests featuring wildlife such as baboons, monkeys and leopards. Mombasa, the second largest city in Kenya, has an international airport, which covers most of the coast.
