Kenya beckons both the active as well as leisure travelers. While trekkers and hikers flock to the country for its vast mountain ranges, beachcombers come here to spend lazy days on the soft sand beaches.

Reaching the top of a Mt. Kenya is a challenge most climbers are thrilled to attempt. More accessible climbs include vast hills, volcanic rocks, and granite cliffs. Follow the trails and treat yourself to the jaw dropping views.

If a huge climb isn’t up your alley, try visiting the more accessible desert in the north. From a cultural standpoint, this is a great place to experience the nomadic African tribes.

A safari through the desert takes people watching from a new perspective- from atop a camel! Camel trains are a great way to experience a guided tour, not to mention a fun way to sleep under the stars.

If you find yourself exhausted after your adventure, stop by the beautiful Kenyan coast for a few days of rest and relaxation. Spend lazy afternoons resting on the soft white sand and taking refreshing dips in the ocean.

Surrounded by coral reefs, these waters happen to be perfect for a scuba diving tour. Explore fascinating underwater wildlife, especially the many brightly colored schools of fish.
