KENYA 2010-2015 & 2016 part of 5 year overland around Africa

While Kenya is a popular tourist destination, overlanders willing to venture off the beaten track will discover its wilder, more authentic side.

A land of extraordinary contrasts, Kenya combines golden savannahs, rugged mountains, remote wilderness and palm-fringed Indian Ocean beaches.

From the iconic wildlife of the Maasai Mara and its spectacular wildebeest migration to Amboseli’s enormous elephant herds beneath Mount Kilimanjaro, Kenya delivers unforgettable safari experiences. Venture further into Samburu, Tsavo, Laikipia and Meru to discover remote wilderness, unique wildlife and dramatic landscapes. The Great Rift Valley, with its flamingo-filled lakes and volcanic scenery, adds to the adventure.

Beyond the wilderness, Kenya’s Indian Ocean coastline offers white-sand beaches, turquoise waters and secluded hideaways. Explore Diani, Tiwi, Watamu, Shimoni, Wasini and historic Lamu, with opportunities for snorkelling, diving, sailing traditional dhows or simply relaxing by the sea.

Rich Maasai and Samburu cultures, historic Swahili towns, vibrant markets, traditional cuisine and welcoming communities complete the experience.

For overlanders, Kenya is far more than a traditional safari destination. It is a journey through wild Africa, ending where the wilderness meets the azure waters and white-sand beaches of the Indian Ocean.
