Highlights from Nairobi

Nairobi - Kenya's capital and the primary international and regional hub.

Chyulu, Amboseli and Tsavo National Park - Amboseli is best known for unrivalled views of Mount Kilimanjaro (in Tanzania) and its large elephant population. Amboseli is home to over 1000 elephants, some of the biggest in Africa. The twin National Parks of Tsavo East and West together form one of Africa’s largest wilderness reserves, over 10 million acres. Framing the vast plains of Tsavo, and lying within view of majestic Mt Kilimanjaro, are the Taita and Chyulu Hills. The Chyulu hills are considered to be some of the youngest volcanic mountains in the world.

The Great Rift Valley - Kenya straddles the centre of the Great Rift Valley, the vast crevice that stretches from Jordan to Mozambique. From the North to the South of Kenya, the valley is lined with a series of freshwater and soda based volcanic lakes.
