Kenya

Kenya offers a rare mix of raw wilderness and vibrant urban life — you can watch wildebeest thunder across the Mara in the morning and sip a world-class coffee in a Nairobi rooftop bar by evening. The country’s landscapes range from snow-capped Mount Kenya to the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, and its people are as diverse as its terrain. It’s one of the few places where you can go on safari with Maasai guides, explore colonial-era cities, and still feel the pulse of modern East Africa.
