Lake Nakuru National Park is one of the natural highlights of Kenya. Over one million flamingos and many other species of birds flock here to enjoy the shallow alkaline waters. It is also home to rhinos, giraffes, hippos and lions, amongst others.

Mount Kenya is Africa's second highest summit at 5200 m. While two of its three peaks require technical climbing, trekkers opt for Lenana at 4,985 m. Heavy forests give way to snow and rock as you climb higher towards the peak.

If you want to see the all the quintessential creatures of Africa, then make a trip to the Masai Mara. This region is packed with wildlife especially during the dry season, which stretches from July to October. During that time, you can see over a million wildebeests migrating across the plains.

For a more relaxed getaway on the sea, you should head for Lamu. This town on the Indian Ocean is one of the oldest in Kenya, offering beautiful sights and rich culture. It has the distinction of being a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Take a boat out and explore the islands.

Lake Turkana is a wildly different landscape reminiscent of the moon. This is the largest desert lake on the planet and is home to many species - including many Nile crocodiles. This is also the area in the Rift Valley where palaeontologists have found human ancestors from millions of years ago.
