Kenya's Western Kenya
Western Kenya
While the magnificent Maasai Mara reigns supreme among Western Africa’s long list of highlights, there remains far much more to be absorbed from this quintessential African region. Find the dazzling masses of flamingoes surrounding the brackish lakes of Naivasha and Nakuru, the vibrant wings of the butterflies fluttering about Mt. Elgon and the Kakamega Forest, the towering escarpments of the Kerio Valley and the ever stretching blue of Africa’s greatest inland sea, Lake Victoria.
Explore the arid badlands, speckled with finicky hot springs known to either swarm together into one wonderfully warm waterfall, or vaporize entirely in the arid African air. View the vast peaks of Mt. Elgon, the popular midnight retreat for elephants looking to scrape the salt off Kitum Cave with their massive tusks. Watch the triangular sailed boats of the Luo people set out into the majestic Lake Victoria from the banks of Kisumu, or retreat to one of the luxurious safari camps as found on the Maasai Mara National Reserve.
