Wild. Wonderful. Kenya

Kenya’s inland waterways offer exhilarating adventures for paddling enthusiasts. White-water rafting on the Tana River near Sagana delivers heart-pounding rapids, especially during the rainy seasons, while the Athi River offers multi-day rafting expeditions through remote wilderness. For gentler experiences, canoeing and kayaking on Lake Baringo or Lake Naivasha provide a peaceful way to spot hippos, birds, and breathtaking scenery. The calm waters of Lake Victoria near Kisumu also invite exploration, ideal for sunrise or sunset paddles. Whether you’re seeking thrills or tranquillity, Kenya’s lakes and rivers promise unforgettable journeys through stunning landscapes and wildlife-rich habitats.

With its diverse landscapes, Kenya is a dream destination for mountain and trail adventures. Hike the dramatic slopes of Mount Kenya, Africa’s second-highest peak, where routes like the Sirimon and Chogoria trails offer stunning alpine scenery. For less demanding treks, explore the Ngong Hills near Nairobi or the ancient crater of Mount Longonot. Mountain biking enthusiasts can tackle the rugged trails of Hell’s Gate National Park or ride through forested paths in Kakamega Forest. With its mix of high-altitude challenges and scenic plains, Kenya delivers unforgettable outdoor experiences for hikers and bikers seeking nature, solitude, and sweeping views across untamed terrain.

Alternative safaris in Kenya offer immersive ways to explore the wild beyond the classic game drive. Ride horseback through the open plains of Laikipia, where rhinos roam freely, or embark on a camel safari guided by Samburu warriors in the remote northern regions. For self-drive thrill-seekers, private conservancies like Lewa and Ol Pejeta let you take the wheel for a true off-road adventure. And for an unforgettable perspective, soar above the savannah on a hot air balloon safari at sunrise over the Maasai Mara – an experience that reveals the vast beauty and wildlife of Kenya in the soft morning light.

The coast offers unforgettable marine wildlife encounters through exhilarating seafaris. From Diani Beach or Watamu, set sail to spot humpback whales between July and September as they migrate along the warm Indian Ocean. In Wasini Island’s Kisite-Mpunguti Marine Park, snorkel or dive amid vibrant coral reefs and swim alongside friendly dolphins in crystal-clear waters. These eco-conscious excursions combine adventure with conservation, giving visitors a chance to witness Kenya’s rich underwater life responsibly. Whether it’s watching dolphins leap beside your dhow or glimpsing a whale’s tail in the distance, marine safaris here are as magical as any on land.
