Kenya

Kenya is one of the world's great safari destinations, where lions, elephants, giraffes and vast herds of wildlife roam the open savannah. The country stretches from the green highlands around Nairobi and Mount Kenya to the lakes of the Great Rift Valley and on to the Indian Ocean coast, with its white beaches and historic Swahili towns. This variety lets visitors combine the thrill of a safari with a relaxing seaside stay in a single trip.

A destination for every kind of trip

Families and groups enjoy an unforgettable experience in the Maasai Mara, especially during the Great Migration, and in Amboseli, where elephants roam beneath the peak of Kilimanjaro. Visitors also head for Lake Nakuru and the vast Tsavo parks. On the coast, Mombasa, Diani Beach and the old town of Lamu, with its Swahili and Islamic heritage, offer a calm, familiar atmosphere, and halal food is easy to find. Nairobi is also an important regional business hub.

Getting there from Libya

Kenya is reached by air, mainly through Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi and Moi International Airport in Mombasa, usually with a connection on the way. Libyan travellers need prior authorisation to enter: our team prepares your application, then arranges your safaris, hotels and transfers with experienced guides, so that you can travel with peace of mind. Nairobi is also a convenient starting point for safaris, with parks reached by road or by light aircraft.
