Kenya was the first country I ever visited in Africa, and in many ways, the place where this journey began for me. I first traveled there in 2018, and years later returned to spend over a month exploring as much of the country as I could. It was Kenya that first sparked my curiosity for the African continent and completely changed the way I saw the world.

While Kenya is home to some of the world’s most iconic safari destinations, from the Maasai Mara and Amboseli to Ol Pejeta, what makes the country so special is the incredible diversity of experiences it offers. One moment you can be exploring the urban chaos of Nairobi, and the next wandering through Swahili towns like Lamu and Mombasa, relaxing on the turquoise beaches of Watamu and Diani, or venturing into the remote deserts of Northern Kenya and Lake Turkana.

From Maasai culture and hidden tea and coffee farms to wildlife, history and coastline, Kenya is a country that constantly reveals something new the deeper you explore it.
