parks and natural reserves. The two most notable parks are the Nairobi National park and the Maasai Mara, home to
25 percent of Kenya’s wildlife. At the Mara, visitors have an opportunity to see the Great Wildebeest Migration, one of the Seven New Wonders of the World. This immense movement only happens between the Serengeti National park
in Tanzania and Maasai Mara National reserve in Kenya during July through October. It features over 2 million animals
crossing the Mara river in search of greener pastures.
Kenya’s white sandy beaches - Kenya’s 536KM-long coastline features some of the most scenic beaches in the world. The water from the Indian Ocean is delightfully warm and turns dozens of shades of blue and green. The beaches are easily accessible from most reputa- ble hotels that are built right next to the beach. There are also lots of activities for
visitors of all ages. These include sailing, snorkelling, gliding and jet skiing.
Nyama choma (grilled meat) - Kenyans love their meat in all its forms. Any gath- ering is an excuse for Nyama Choma. This unofficial national dish is available everywhere, from roadside kiosks to highend restaurants. Nyama Choma is most commonly eaten with Ugali (maize meal) and kachumbari (tomato, chilli and onion salad).
