Kenya is recognized globally as one of the premier destinations for African safaris. It offers a dramatic range of landscapes. You can travel from the snow-capped peak of Mount Kenya to the white sands of Diani Beach in a single day. The country is bisected by the Great Rift Valley which creates spectacular scenery of lakes and escarpments. While it is most famous for the Masai Mara, Kenya offers vast wild spaces in the arid north and the expansive eastern plains.
