You would be well advised to go on a safari if you have the time in Kenya—it is an unforgettable experience. The main national parks in Kenya worth visiting, whether or not you undertake a full-fledged safari, are: the Malindi Marine (with its amazing variety of coral and marine life) and the Mt. Kenya National Parks, among many others.
The most popular among the national parks is the Masai Mara with a gorgeous landscape consisting of the Serengeti Plains, its unparalleled variety of wildlife and of course, the awe-inspiring annual wildebeest migration.
The city of Mombasa has buildings dating back to its colonial past and worth taking a look at is the Portuguese-built Fort Jesus. A relatively unspoilt beach area with well-preserved and brilliant coral life is the town of Watamu, 24km south of Malindi.
Nairobi is a bustling, lively city with a population of around a million, and a cosmopolitan feel. It is well equipped with tourist infrastructure, and is convenient for business travelers or those looking to get bureaucratic problems sorted out.
The Nairobi National Park is the most convenient to visit from Nairobi, the Marasbit, the Aberdare, the Amboseli (the Park with the spectacular Mt. Kilimanjaro as a backdrop), the Lake Baringo and the Lake Nakuru are a few more.
There are a huge range of sights, cities and towns worth visiting in Kenya. These range from the Diani Beach, an overdeveloped but characteristically tropical beach; the town of Kisumu on Lake Victoria, the bird-rich Lake Naivasha area, the charming, unhurried coastal town of Lamu, the Swahili settlement of Malindi, the frontier town of Isiolo, with its colourful mix of tribal cultures, the attractive mountain town of Maralal and Thompson’s Falls.You can also get acquainted with the Kikuyu tribesmen by visiting the town of Kiambu, a small town about 16 km north of Nairobi. Kiambu has pleasant climate, located in an area full of streams and ridges. If you are in Nairobi for a while, you must visit the Chania and Thika Falls. A ramble in one of the trails around the hotel is utterly enjoyable, with birdsong, butterflies and dragonflies to accompany you.
