About Kenya

Kenya is a leading East African destination where iconic wildlife, dramatic landscapes and a long Indian Ocean coastline come together. From world-famous safari parks to coastal towns and fast-growing cities, the country offers a wide range of experiences for leisure and business travellers.

Cities such as Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu and Nakuru each have their own character. Nairobi is the capital and East Africa's main business and aviation hub, while Mombasa mixes Swahili history with a working port and beach resorts, and Kisumu sits on the shores of Lake Victoria.

Beyond its cities, Kenya features the Masai Mara, Amboseli and Tsavo national parks, Mount Kenya, the Great Rift Valley lakes and the beaches of Diani and Lamu. More than 40 ethnic communities, Swahili coastal culture, colonial-era sites and wildlife events such as the Great Migration shape the country's visitor experience.

Kenya is a major destination for safari tourism, regional business and international conferences, with Nairobi also serving as a United Nations centre. Its position on the Indian Ocean makes it an important gateway for travel within East Africa.

A network of international airports, highways, railways and regional connections makes travel between Kenyan cities and regions relatively straightforward, supporting convenient journeys between airports, hotels, business districts, event venues and tourist destinations.
