The land of the safari; Kenya is where solo travelers come to see wildlife in abundance. Migrating herds of wildebeest, flamingos in their thousands and the elusive Big Five makes Kenya an explorer’s dream. Set your sights on the views of Mount Kilimanjaro at the Amboseli National Park, meet a traditional Maasai tribe or relax on the white sands of Diani Beach. Vast savannahs against a horizon stretching for miles, Kenya provides an adventure with all things wild and wonderful.
