Home to some of Africa’s most beautiful national parks where fascinating wildlife roam free and uninhibited, Kenya is unquestionably the most popular safari holiday destination on the planet. The country is also a place where visitors can immerse themselves in unique cultural activities or just spend lazy days on pretty beaches if the fancy takes them. For the best safaris be sure to add Amboseli National Park, Lake Nakuru National Park and the Masai Mara National Reserve to your itinerary, while for a spot of urban culture seeking make the Arab-influenced cities of Lamu and Mombassa two of your must-visit destinations. Be prepared, however, as the country is known for its extreme heat and humidity, questionable hygiene standards, poorly maintained roads and corrupt officials.
