Karibu Kenya
It is in the heart of this spectacular country that we choose to lay down our roots. And who can blame us? Kenya is the jewel in Africa’s crown.
Kenya is one of the most exciting and naturally blessed destinations on Earth – equatorial glaciers and savanna packed full of wildlife, all within sight of each other.
A trip here takes you to the top of Mt. Kenya, a World Heritage Site, across the plains cycling with giraffe, elephant, and rhino, through the top of the pristine Ngare Ndare forest, down its waterfalls, and out into the Indian Ocean to surf and snorkel the warm tropical waters along one of the world’s top beaches.
The culture is vibrant – a melting pot of various tribes, the people are as warm as the tropical climate, and the air is alive with laughter.
If you’re looking for an unforgettable adventure, start in Kenya!
