10 Best Places to visit in Kenya 2022.
Kenya is one of Africa's most popular tourist destinations for a reason.
It is a country rich in both physical and cultural diversity.
Kenya has a variety of beautiful places to visit, including idyllic Indian Ocean beaches,
rugged mountains, lush forests, and wildlife-rich savannahs.
With its vast faunal diversity, various civilizations, and old world capitals to ultramodern towns,
Kenya has defied all expectations of being a strictly wildlife safari destination.
Kenya has become a popular tourist destination for explorers, families, and honeymooners
alike, with various national parks, metropolitan and rural cities, turquoise water bodies,
geological wonders, and stunning beaches among the top places to visit.
Kenya is intrinsically associated to safari.
It is a country known for its romantic and adventurous nature.
You will be treated to a broad array of vistas as a tourist, all of which will leave you
dumbfounded.
Kenya is breathtaking, and to underscore my claim, here are ten of the top tourist attractions
in Kenya. 10.
Aberdare National Park.
Aberdare National Park, located in the frigid highlands of the Great Rift Valley, is one
of Kenya's most interesting tourist sites.
It has a rich hilly topography with valleys, rivers, waterfalls, and woods, as well as
extremely rare species including the black serval, black leopard, and eastern bongo,
the country's most elusive antelope.
The Treetops Hotel, where Elizabeth II was staying at the time, has since become a renowned
tourist destination, and it was here that she learned of her father's death, which elevated
her to the throne of England.
9.
Chyulu Hills.
The Chyulu Hills are a 1,000-kilometer (620-mile) long mountain range in southeastern Kenya
that rises to 2,188 meters above sea level.
They are some of the world's youngest volcanic mountains, dating back only 500 years, and
they are also home to the Leviathan Cave, one of the world's longest lava tunnels.
In the scenic Chyulu Hills National Park, you might observe black rhinos, elephants,
lions, giraffes, cheetahs, bushpigs, and steenbok, among other wildlife.
You may go hiking, rock climbing, or horseback riding in addition to going on safari drives
to see animals.
With green hills and huge skies, this is one of Kenya's most attractive places to visit.
8.
Amboseli National Park.
Amboseli National Park, on the Tanzanian border and east of the Mara, has breathtaking vistas.
With the spectacular, snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro, the world's tallest free-standing mountain,
looming just across the border, it's one of the most appealing places to visit in Kenya.
Another factor is the massive elephant population, which includes many elephants with big tusks.
Lions, cheetahs, wild dogs, buffalos, giraffes, pelicans, martial eagles, blue-cheeked bee-eaters,
and other creatures can be seen in the park. 7.
Masai Mara.
The Masai Mara is one of Africa's most well-known safari destinations, yet camping in a private
concession on the park's fringes allows you to dodge the crowds.
Concessions offer the advantage of allowing activities that are not permitted in national
parks, such as bush treks and night drives, despite the fact that they are not open to
the general public.
The Masai Mara is one of Africa's best places to watch lions, leopards, and cheetahs, with
lions, leopards, and cheetahs all readily visible.
Then there's the major attraction: the year-round migration of about two million wildebeest,
half a million antelopes, and hundreds of zebras that occurs in Tanzania and Kenya in
response to the rains. 6.
Samburu National Reserve.
The Samburu National Reserve in northern Kenya is considered one of Kenya's best safari destinations.
This area is also home to the Samburu people, a strange race known for their many strands
of brightly colored beaded jewelry.
The reserve is home to elephants, lions, leopards, and cheetahs, as well as over 450 different
species of birds.
There may be sightings of rare subspecies such as the Grevy's zebra, reticulated giraffe,
and East African oryx, as well as the gerenuk (long-necked antelope) and bands of wild dogs.
5.
Diani Beach.
Diani Beach, one of Africa's most beautiful beaches, is located 30 kilometers (20 meters)
south of Mombasa and is only a short flight away from Nairobi.
Its stunning beaches are lapped by the brilliant Indian Ocean and bordered by thick woodlands,
where you may go for nature hikes after a day of sunbathing and kitesurfing.
Relax in a hammock with a good book or go on a snorkeling excursion, a whale shark swim,
or a sunset sail. 4.
Lake Nakuru National park.
The lake's population has been falling in recent years, despite being home to a broad
range of bird species, including enormous flocks of flamingos estimated to number in
the millions.
The enormous amounts of algae in the water of Lake Nakuru, one of the Rift Valley's lakes,
attracts birds.
Pelicans, cormorants, African fish eagles, Verreaux's eagles, Goliath herons, and hammerkops
can all be seen around the lake.
In addition to black and white rhinos, Rothschild's giraffes, lions, and cheetahs, the national
park is home to black and white rhinos, Rothschild's giraffes, lions, and cheetahs.
3.
Lamu Town.
Kenya's Indian Ocean coastline, as well as its safari parks and grasslands, are well-known.
The Lamu archipelago, rich in history, is one of Kenya's most fascinating travel locations.
Lamu town was founded in 1370 as a Swahili harbor and has since been populated by Europeans,
Indians, and Persians.
As a result, a mash-up of cultural components has resulted.
On the island, there are 23 mosques, a 19th-century fort, and traditional dhow boats bobbing in
the ocean.
There are other adjacent beaches that are both tranquil and untouched.
This is the perfect place to unwind after a Kenyan safari.
2.
Ol Pejeta.
The Ol Pejeta Conservancy, a Big Five conservancy on Mount Kenya's slopes, is well-known for
its conservation efforts.
Sudan, the sub-species' last male northern white rhino, died there in 2018; the sub-species'
final females still live there, guarded 24 hours a day.
The Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary, which rescues chimps from the criminal market, is
also located in the Laikipia conservancy.
Ol Pejeta is one of Kenya's most interesting tourist destinations, and it's a great place
to learn about the relationship between humans and animals, as well as conservation challenges.
1.Mount Kenya.
At 5,199m/17,057ft, Kenya's highest summit is also Africa's second highest, behind Kilimanjaro,
which is located across the Tanzanian border.
Around three million years ago, the East African Rift (part of the Great Rift Valley) opened
up, generating the strato volcano.
Its lower slopes are now densely forested with bamboo and African rosewood, and the
mountain runoff provides water to almost two million people.
Mount Kenya, with its jagged snowy peaks and glaciers on the highest slopes, is one of
Kenya's most beautiful tourist destinations.
