Kenya: off the beaten track

Kenya Special feature

If Kenya was an object it would be a book. A book filled with history, but also stories, legends, richness and culture. The work would be illustrated by photos and images representing man, the most beautiful landscapes and of course animals. It is the safari destination par excellence; plains as far as the eye can see, magnificent lakes, and savannahs bursting with flora and fauna of all sorts.

A real poem: a family of lions stretched out beneath the shade of a tree, taking a siesta; the heads of giraffes lost amongst the leaves of the tallest trees; the leopard, lying low in the bush, tirelessly watches his prey. The animal reserves are the main asset of the destination, but others do exist. Here is a small selection of excursions to go on outside of the usual circuits.
