When you think of Africa, you’ll likely conjure up visions of a silhouetted acacia tree shimmering under a buttery sunset, or great herds of wildlife charging through the dusty savannah. This is Kenya, a microcosm of classic Africa.
But when you think Kenya, you also think safari. The Great Migration is one of the planet’s finest wildlife spectacles but the country’s diverse landscapes overflow with other unforgettable encounters, too. Spy the ‘Big Five’ in the foothills of Mount Kenya and glimpse lions slaking their thirst in the country’s desolate north. Kenya’s gorgeous vistas are deserving of their own attention, whether it’s sipping freshly brewed coffee under snow-dusted Mount Kilimanjaro’s watchful gaze or soaking up the ancient lands of the frontier north.
