Wildlife & the great safari
The word safari is Swahili. The Maasai Mara, Amboseli and Tsavo hold the Big Five and the world’s greatest wildlife migration.
🇰🇪 Kenya as a destination
The origin of wonder
Where humankind began, the safari was born, and the Great Rift cradles a land of unmatched variety. This is Kenya: a story the world is invited to live.
Why Kenya
A single country that holds the whole of Africa's promise
From the snows of Mount Kenya to the coral coast of the Indian Ocean, from the cradle of humankind in the Rift Valley to a thriving capital of innovation. Kenya is a destination for travellers, a home for the diaspora, and an invitation to the world to trade, invest and belong.
Landscapes & the Rift
Snow-capped Mount Kenya, the Great Rift Valley, soda lakes pink with flamingos, and a coral coast on the warm Indian Ocean.
People, culture & innovation
More than 40 communities, a living culture of music, sport and craft, and a capital that leads Africa in technology and ideas.
The cradle of humankind
Where the human story begins
In the Rift Valley and around Lake Turkana, some of the earliest evidence of our ancestors was found. To visit Kenya is to return to the place where it all started, and to walk the same ground as the first people on Earth.
