8 Best places to visit in Kenya

There are many amazing spots to explore across the vast continent of Africa. This article highlights some of the best places to visit in Kenya. The country Kenya is almost synonymous with the phrase “safari.” Few other sites on the earth evoke such a sense of adventure and romance. The variety of tourist attractions in Kenya dazzles everyone who arrive, with witnessing the country’s plentiful wildlife topping the list of things to do. 

See crowds of wildebeest galloping over the savanna during the Great Migration in the Maasai Mara; come face to face with elephants in Amboseli; or marvel at Lake Nakuru, flecked with thousands of flamingos. Ancient tribes such as the Maasai, Kikuyu, and Samburu live in relative harmony with the natural world in these sun-drenched areas.

Beneath the world-famous safari parks is a treasure trove of coastal gems. You may snorkel and dive fish-rich coral reefs, lounge on sparkling beaches, experience the melting pot of cultures and cuisines in Mombasa and Malindi, and visit exotic islands steeped in Swahili history. 

Kenya has amazing scenery. The Great Rift Valley, surrounded by calderas and mountain ranges, divides the country. To the east of this broad valley, you can climb Mount Kenya’s peaks and fish for trout in crystal-clear streams. Hell’s Gate National Park contains obsidian caves as well as natural geysers and hot springs. 

Go to Nairobi to see Kenya’s colonial history, as shown in the film Out of Africa. Discover more places to visit in this fascinating country with our list of the best places to visit in Kenya.

8 Best Places To Visit In Kenya

Looking for some of the best places to visit in Kenya? We have listed some of the places you can explore during your trip to Kenya in order to know more about the country. 

Ol Pejeta Conservancy

Ol Pejeta Conservancy is located about 200 kilometers north of Nairobi, near Mount Kenya National Park, and is ideal for up-close wildlife encounters.  It is one of the best places to visit in Kenya.

8 Best places to visit in Kenya  

Conservation and sustainability are important at this 90,000-acre private game reserve, where you can see the Big Five (lion, leopard, rhinoceros, elephant, and buffalo) as well as other animals like cheetah, hyenas, zebra, and hartebeest – all against the stunning backdrop of snowcapped Mount Kenya. 

The conservancy is perhaps best known for its northern and southern white rhinos, as well as Baraka, a blind black rhino that lucky visitors may be able to feed.

You can watch the wildlife on self-drive or guided tours, and entry includes a visit to the chimpanzee sanctuary. Day visitors are welcome, and if you want to extend your wilderness adventure, you can stay overnight in accommodations that range from bush camps and safari cottages to a charming colonial ranch house.

Hell’s Gate National Park

Hell’s Gate National Park, one of the best places to visit in Kenya and a popular climbing destination, is one of Kenya’s few parks that allows camping and exploration by foot or bicycle. 

Hell’s Gate has two extinct volcanoes, the red cliffs of Hell’s Gate Gorge, Obsidian Caves, and Fischer’s Tower, a former volcanic plug. 

Hot springs and natural geysers that hiss steam through vents in the earth’s crust are examples of geothermal features. The park also protects a diverse range of animals, including leopards, baboons, hartebeest, eland, ostriches, gazelles, and more than 100 bird species. The park also contains eagle and vulture breeding areas.

The Oloor Karia Maasai Cultural Centre within the park is also worth a visit, with Maasai singing, dancing, and jewelry-making demonstrations.

Interestingly, Olkaria Geothermal Station lies within Hell’s Gate National Park. It generates power from heated, pressurized water underground and is the first of its kind in Africa.

Malindi

Malindi, on the Kenyan coast north of Mombasa, has two personalities. This renowned seaside town and one of the best places to visit in Kenya, combines a historic old town with a modern tourist centre. Because of its long trading history, it is also a melting pot of cultures and cuisines. 

8 Best places to visit in Kenya

Many European visitors come here to sunbathe on the white sands of Watamu Beach and dive the coral reefs of the Malindi and Watamu Marine National Parks. If you’re looking for free things to do in Kenya, you can’t go wrong with a day at Malindi Beach. 

You can also learn about Swahili history in the historic town, which dates back to the 12th century. Visit the Jami Mosque, as well as two 14th-century pillar tombs; the Church of St. Francis Xavier, one of East Africa’s oldest churches.

On the promontory, the Vasco De Gama Cross is one of the oldest standing monuments in Africa.

Another popular tourist attraction in Malindi is the Falconry of Kenya, a rehabilitation center for sick and injured birds.

Also worth visiting, about 30 kilometers northeast of Malindi is the Marafa Depression. Also called Hell’s Kitchen or Nyari this set of sandstone gorges sculpted by the wind and rain is like a mini Grand Canyon.

Mount Kenya National Park

Mount Kenya National Park, located in the Central Highlands east of the Great Rift Valley, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that offers the unusual sight of equatorial snow. It includes the country’s tallest peak, which stands at 5,199 meters. 

8 Best places to visit in Kenya

Formed by a series of volcanic eruptions, Mount Kenya is actually comprised of three glacier-cloaked peaks. The highest point is Batian, while the next highest point, Nelion, is a more difficult ascent. Although the lowest mountain, Lenana, is considered the easiest to climb, changeable weather might offer difficulties. 

Take your camera. The breathtaking scenery includes glaciers, lakes, and mineral springs, as well as alpine woodland and dense pockets of bamboo.

The diversity of flora and fauna provides rewarding opportunities for safaris. Among the wildlife here, you may spot black and white colobus monkeys, buffalo, elephant, tree hyrax, leopard, and hyena.

Nestled in the foothills, the famous Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club is a luxury retreat with trout fishing, golf, and tennis, If you are Planning to spend a few days here.

Mombasa

As one of the best places to visit in Kenya, Mombasa attracts a diverse range of tourists. It is also Kenya’s second most populous city and major port. British, Portuguese, Arab, Indian, and Asian immigrants contribute to the diverse cultural mix, and their impact can be seen in the architecture and food. 

8 Best places to visit in Kenya

Mombasa is essentially an island that is connected to the mainland by a causeway, bridges, and ferries. Coral reefs stretch approximately 480 kilometers down the coast, providing excellent snorkeling and diving opportunities, particularly at Mombasa Marine National Park and around Wasini Island. Dolphin gazing and deep-sea fishing are two other popular activities in Mombasa.

You’ll find plenty of tourist attractions along the Kenyan coast here. History buffs will enjoy exploring the 16th-century Fort Jesus and Old Town with its narrow streets, ancient Swahili dwellings, markets, and souvenir shops.

Other Mombasa tourist attractions cram the city’s north shore, including Mombasa Go-Kart, cinemas, sports, and a cornucopia of restaurants.

This being a coastal hub, beach lovers will find some worthy strands nearby. North of the city, Nyali and Bamburi Beaches are favorites, while the white strands of Shelly, Tiwi, and Diani Beaches are popular spots south of Mombasa.

Lake Naivasha

Lake Naivasha, located at the highest point of the Great Rift Valley, is a birder’s paradise. More than 400 bird species have been observed here, including African fish eagles, jacanas, white-fronted bee-eaters, and various kingfisher species. 

8 Best places to visit in Kenya

Boating is a great way to see animals. Hippos slosh in the water, and giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, and eland graze on the lake’s margins. Keep an eye out for colobus monkeys in the canopy as well. 

The Crater Lake Game Sanctuary, located near Lake Naivasha, has a wildlife-filled nature route. 

With two extinct volcanoes and the red cliffs of Hell’s Gate Gorge, Hell’s Gate National Park, located just south of Lake Naivasha, it is one of the best places to visit in Kenya, protects a diverse range of animals and provides good climbing opportunities.

On the southern shore of Lake Naivasha, you can pop in for a cup of tea at the Elsamere Conservation Centre, the former home of the late Joy Adamson, author of Born Free, and her husband George.

Note that Lake Naivasha has been known to shrink considerably in times of extreme drought, and a flourishing floriculture industry in the area is also impacting water levels and quality. But the lake is typically lush and full of life.

Lake Nakuru National Park

Lake Nakuru National Park in Central Kenya is noted for its large flocks of pink flamingos. The beauty of these birds makes this park one of the best places to visit in Kenya. The birds flock to Lake Nakuru, one of the Rift Valley soda lakes that spans nearly a third of the park’s territory. 

8 Best places to visit in Kenya

Since its inception in 1961, the park has documented over 450 species of birds, as well as a diverse range of other wildlife. Lions, leopards, warthogs, waterbucks, pythons, and white rhinos are just some of the species you might encounter, and the environments range from vast grasslands flanking the lake to rocky cliffs and woodland. 

The park also safeguards Africa’s largest euphorbia candelabrum forest. These tall, branching succulents are unique to the area and add a striking textural addition to the garden. These tall, branching succulents are endemic to the region and provide a bold textural element to the arid landscapes.

Giraffe Centre

The Giraffe Center, located near the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust Elephant Nursery, is a must-see destination near Nairobi National Park and one of the best places to visit in Kenya. The institute is dedicated to the rehabilitation and reintroduction of Rothschild Giraffes into Kenyan wildlife areas. During a visit, the personnel will describe their work for 15 to 20 minutes. 

A visit here gives you the opportunity to get up close and personal with these gentle giants. You’ll be able to feed these fascinating creatures if you have your own bowl of giraffe food. The feeding area is on a raised platform, putting you close to the giraffes’ heads, who will drop down slightly and stretch their massive blackish, grey tongues to suck up whatever you have to offer.
