    Find 6 Reasons To Go on Safari in Kenya

    Kenya is the fastest growing economies in East Africa, boasting of a well performing and vibrant private sector, education sector, travel sector and newly elected youth government. With its capital, Nairobi popularly known the city in the sun (because of the equator), one may be flawed to think that this is the sun is the only thing defining the nation. Well it's not. In this article, we describe to you some of the reasons why Kenya is one of Africa's most exhilarating holiday destinations.

    480 km of a beautiful coastline

    Where on earth do you find a seemingly, coastline full of sand stretching over 480 km? The answer to this question is, rarely. The Kenyan coast is long, well maintained and unique for all those who love coastlines and as such, a great place to visit on a holiday, etc. Yet the length of the coastline cannot describe a great travel destination; fishing villages, kayaking activities, party animals do.

    Sunshine all year round

    As a travel destination, Kenya is a winner in terms of having enviable weather. There are just a few places where you can find sunshine and warmth all year round; Kenya is one of those few places. With the climate ranging mostly between 22ºC and 30ºC, this is not too hot, and neither is it too cold. This makes it a perfect place to go on safari holidays, or relax.

    Rich wildlife

    Any mention of Africa elucidates the thoughts of wild animals. Well, not all of Africa is full of wild life; in fact, you can only see a handful of wild animals in most parts of Africa. Yet Kenya boasts of all the important wildlife you can think of, from the big five wild animals, to a rich water life in the interior and Mombasa which is famous for its fish and diverse fauna.

    Massive Coral reefs in Mombasa

    Not many future generations will be as lucky as you to witness the spectacular display of coral reefs; after all we live pollution these days. Luckily, Kenya is one of the few countries which have an enviable coral reefs as well as a rich water life ranging from turtles, rays, octopus to squids, among others.

    Solid Heritage

    Kenya as a nation has come a long way- because of its resilient people, talents and democracy. The country remains a beacon of peace in the horn of Africa, known for the civil unrest. The First American President, Barack Obama is Kenyan (his father). Kenyans are also great runners like David Rudisha and Oscar award winners like Lupita Nyongo, among others. The local Kenyan people are equally interesting, extremely active on Twitter (because of the growing middle class, tech savvy, educated youths) and of course, Africa's pride airline Kenya Airs and KQ Holidays which boasts of great holiday packages and tours around Kenya.
