The beautiful shores to the handsome mountains Kenya is truly a beautiful place. It is the perfect destination for anyone looking for a round the world experience.  Once you hit the Moi international airport in Mombasa, Kenya’s sea port, you are met by the cool breeze and the tranquility that the ocean water brings beckoning you to experience all that it has to offer. 

On the shores are the sandy beaches of Mombasa are spectacular hotels and resorts ideal for your vacation. They provide top class experience of international standards. You can choose to relax on these hotels as you seep your drink facing the never ending ocean. You can then choose to take a drive to the city center and taste the succulent and delicious Kenyan coastal cuisine. The Kenyan coastal city is set in the Swahili culture which has superb culture and cuisine. It is a must experience for anyone travelling the coast as it is popularly known by Kenyan residents.

If you feel that you’d like more of the land than the sea then you can take a drive towards the mainland or take a plane from the Moi international Airport to Jomo Kenyatta international Airport in the country’s capital city. Here the life is much faster unlike the relaxed coast. The city greets you with its large sky scrapers in the city center. Away from the city are numerous national parks and game reserves that you’d love to visit. These marvelous parks and reserves include Nairobi national park, Meru national park, Tsavo game reserve Maasai mare game reserve and so on.

As you head towards the eastern part of the city in your Kenya holiday tour you will witness the great Escarpment that runs in most of the African countries. In it are great lakes and beautiful scenery that is a must see by any tourist looking for a wonderful occasion in Kenya.

Another spectacular attraction is the second largest mountain in the Africa. That is Mount Kenya. It is well known all over the world and has a height of over 5,199meters above sea level. It is second to the Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. Many travelers visit Kenya to climb Mountain Kenya. It is one of the best experiences in the Kenya holiday package for any traveler especially those interested in hiking and nature. It is the perfect getaway from all the hustle and bustle of city life. Once at the top of the mountain there is nothing to express but the wonderful feel of accomplishment.
