In Kenya, the most beautiful things are located outside of Nairobi. The beaches along the Indian Ocean have the Maldivian quality: +29 ºС water and air temperature almost all year round, white coral sand and azure water.
There are conditions for kiting on the Indian Ocean, because the wind is very stable and blows from left to right for half a year, and vice versa for half a year.
The best way to travel around the country is by small plane. There are runways everywhere. Getting a flight permit is very easy and quick.
I really love Lake Naivasha (national park), which is located 80 km from Nairobi. Surrounded by extinct volcanoes, it is very picturesque. You can ride a boat, look at hippos and birds. All the wildlife is at your feet.
The Masai Mara Reserve is the eighth wonder of the world, the best place to watch animals. The secret of a safari is that one or two days of rest with wild animals are equivalent to two weeks at sea. For a person living in the constant stress of big cities, being in the wild, away from technology is incredibly useful.
There are a lot of national parks in Kenya. In addition to the famous Amboseli and Lake Nakuru, there is also Mount Longonot, Suswa volcano, Lake Turkana and other parks that are rarely visited by tourists, but no less interesting.
Traveling around Kenya is very interesting. The resort town of Lamu, located on the border with Somalia (and the island of the same name) is just a fairy tale: a beautiful beach with yellow sand, beautiful architectural structures. Donkeys roam around Lamu Island, because cars are prohibited there. When you arrive at the airport, a taxi driver meets you in a boat and takes you to the hotel. It’s amazing.
