Great Migration: The annual wildebeest migration involves millions of wildebeest, zebras, and other herbivores crossing the Mara River from Serengeti National Park in Tanzania to Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya, attracting visitors from around the globe. Stunning Landscapes: From the Great Rift Valley to the white sandy beaches along the Indian Ocean coast, Kenya offers breathtaking landscapes that appeal to nature lovers and photographers. Rich Culture: Kenya is home to diverse ethnic groups, each with its own traditions, music, dance, and vibrant cultural heritage. Visitors can immerse themselves in local communities and learn about traditional lifestyles. Adventure Activities: Kenya offers a range of adventure activities such as hot air balloon safaris, camel trekking, hiking Mount Kenya, and diving in marine reserves like Watamu and Diani Beach. Basic Info: Currency: Kenyan Shilling (KES) Capital: Nairobi Language: Swahili and English (both official languages) Population: Approximately 53 million Time Zone: East Africa Time (EAT), UTC+3 Best Time to Travel: The best time to visit Kenya is during the dry season, from late June to October and January to February, when wildlife viewing is at its peak and the weather is generally pleasant.
