The Republic of Kenya – with its fabulous game, interesting tribes and surreal landscapes is the quintessential Africa of wildlife documentaries and the home of the safari.
It is everything you imagine Africa to be, with vast plains covered in thousands of wildebeest and gazelle, cheetah sitting on termite mounds, lions flat on their backs in the sun and giraffe in the shade of flat-topped acacias. This is the country of Out of Africa, Born Free and Big Cat Diary.
In terms of the facts Kenya is a country in Eastern Africa, bordered by Ethiopia to the north, Somalia to the east, Tanzania to the south, Uganda to the west, and Sudan to the northwest, with the Indian Ocean running along the southeast border. It has a population of 38 million with many different ethnic groups, the most populous being the Kikuyu, the Luhya and the Kalenjin. From the coast the low plains rise to central highlands, which in tern are bisected by the Great Rift Valley; a fertile plateau in the west. The Kenyan Highlands comprise one of the most successful agricultural production regions in Africa. The highlands are the site of the highest point in Kenya (and the second highest in Africa): Mount Kenya, which reaches 5,199 metres (17,057 ft).

Most of our holidays to Kenya are done on a tailor-made basis, where we have great relationships with a number of exquisite camps and lodges. However we do have one group tour, the Rift Valley Explorer, which is a classic Wild Frontiers trip, running from Nairobi to Addis Ababa by way of Lake Turkana and the Omo Valley.
