Straddling the Equator, fringed by the Indian Ocean, rising to the forested slopes of Africa's highest mountain, and host to the stark beauty of the world's last real wilderness, Kenya is a microcosm of the African experience. Numbering over fifty ethnic groups, renowned as the very cradle of humanity, boasting fifty six of the world's most breath-taking national parks and reserves, and protecting an unmatched wealth of ecological variety, it is the original, and still undisputed, safari destination of the world, Kenya offers an experience that is uplifting, vibrant, and never to be forgotten.

Kenya is undeniably the most famous safari destination in the world. Furthermore, Kenya also boasts some of the most stunning sceneries, varied environments and their rich culture. With spectacularly diverse geography, Kenya plays host to the marvelous snow caped Mt. Kenya, the Great Rift Valley, picturesque highlands, stunning lake regions and unspoiled beaches.

Kenya is renowned as the very cradle of humanity from the particular discovery made at Lake Turkana in 1984 by famous palaeoanthropologist Richard Leakey and Kamoya Kimeu, was the skeleton of a Turkana boy belonging to Homo erectus from 1.6 million years ago.

Kenya has no one culture that identifies it. Amid such varied regional people, having a commonly acceptable cultural identification is difficult. There are about 42 different tribes in Kenya each with its own distinct culture, however majority of them have unified cultural practices brought about by the close resemblance in the languages, the similar environment and physical proximity of the tribes.

Kenya being one of the most dynamic and fastest growing nations in East Africa faces the increasing number of security challenges. Tips for Travelers ensure that tourists visiting Kenya are well versed with the dos and donts while on vacation.
