Must do top 9 things when you visit Kenya

For a full Kenyan experience make sure you do at least this 9 things:-

1. Go on a Safari. Kenya, the land where the word "safari" was born, also known as the cradle of mankind, is a land of unashamed splendor and great contrast. From the highlands of central Kenya to the great Rift valley and its resident lakes across to the second largest lake in the world; Lake Victoria further south to the elephants of Amboseli and a spectacular view of Africa’s highest point Mount Kilimanjaro and down to the cost where the shimmering white sands of the beaches of the Indian Ocean and ancient culture of millennia passed is still alluring to the traveler to this day.

2.Watch the Wildebeest Migration- The seventh Wonder of the World! Each year between July and October, the famous Wildebeest migration takes place from Tanzania to Kenya. It has been called the greatest wildlife show on earth. Each year, always on a different moment, hundreds of thousands of wildebeests suddenly gather at the Serengeti plains to trek to greener places. After making a big circle through Tanzania and Kenya, they come back to the Serengeti plains again. At the point where they have to cross the Grumeti River, there are camps from where you can watch this extraordinary phenomenon. Movie clip.

3. Visit a Traditional Village. A number of tribes in Kenya still live more or less the same as their ancestors have done for thousands of years. From the Masai,Samburu, Kisii, Gikuyu, Kalejin,Mijikenda to Akamba.

4.Visit the Coast region. The coast region stands apart within Kenya. This is where the vibrant mix between African, Arabic and Indian influences has created the famous Swahili culture. Swahili has become the lingua franca in all of East Africa. Places to visit are the island city of Lamu and the harbour city of Mombasa, where Fort Jesus - built in the 16th century by the Portuguese - gives an insight into colonial times. Oh, and don't forget the coast has over 500 kilometers of beautiful white sand beaches, often with private Hawaii-style resorts where you can have dinner in the open air with a Bacardi coke while looking over the Indian Ocean


5.Take a balloon Ride. Going over one of the national parks is very different in an air balloon! It's a very special experience to flow over the country and have a 360 degrees view over all the wild animals walking beneath you. Although they are advertised as "balloon safaris", they aren't really full safaris. Trips typically start at dawn and take a few hours, after which there's a champagne breakfast on the ground. They can be arranged through many top end lodges.

6. A Trek to Mount Kenya. Going to the almost vertical top (Batian, 5199 metres) is only for trained and fully equiped climbers. But anyone who is reasonably fit can take tracks that go up to 4000 metres, or even higher. For your information Kate Middleton had a “wonderful 24 hours” at the Kenyan lodge where Prince William popped the question.The couple — who announced their engagement to the world on Wednesday — spent one night at the “romantic” lakeside Rutundu Log Cabins in Mount Kenya National Park in October...Now Married. 

7.Take a Dhow Trip Making a sailing trip along the coast in a traditional dhow vessels is a great experience. Dhows were used by Arab traders to frequent East Africa from the 8th century on, and are still fully in use today. Both cheaper, more basic and luxurious trips are available. People usually sleep on the ships and seafood is caught fresh every day. Many dhows leave from Lamu. The bigger boats also have motors while the smaller boats rely on the wind only.

8. Go Diving at Kenya Beach The diving and snorkeling possibilities of (for example) Watamu National Park along the coast are highly rated, even by professional standards. The reef is in excellent condition and there are big numbers of extremely exotic fish, in every shape and color conceivable. Harmless whale sharks also visit the are regularly, a highlight for any diver. The waters are totally excluded for fishers.



9. Visit Nairobi. Nairobi is known as the safari capital of Africa, however the city has still managed to keep up with modernization. Unlike other cities, Nairobi is surrounded by 113 km² (70 mi²) of plains, cliffs and forest that makes up the city’s Nairobi National Park. The city is filled with many things to do during the day and the night. Tourists can have their pick from numerous safaris (wildlife, cultural, sport, adventure, scenic and specialist), eco-tourism tours, restaurants, culture, shopping and entertainment. While in Nairobi, tourists can also engage in numerous sports from golf, rugby, athletics, polo, horse-racing, cricket and football (soccer). If you're the type who wants to explore a bit of the Nairobi nightlife and safari, it may be wise to start at bar first, since the clubs and discos in Kenya don’t get busy until around midnight and don't close until the sun rises. By far your best source of info on what's rocking on any given weekend is a local. The end of month weekend offers the best local action.Several clubs stage "cultural nites" which feature music ,traditional foods and drinks from some of Kenya's main ethnic
communities .An excellent opportunity to see Kenyans unplugged and hear the biggest local music acts . Other clubs you may want to check out are Westlands-Gypsy's, Sohos, Black Diamond, Galileo's, Pavement. Nairobi CBD- Florida 2000,Zeep,Wine Bar, Simmers, Psys(Former Hooters) and Kengeles just to name a few. Don't forget to try out carnivore restaurant you one stop game meat restaurant.
