15 things not to miss in Kenya
From the gorgeous Indian Ocean-lapped beaches to the Maasai Mara, here are fifteen things you shouldn't miss on a trip to Kenya.
Cape Town Vacation Travel Guide | Expedia (4K)
Cape Town sits on South Africa’s Cape Peninsula, where the waters of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans converge.
Begin your adventure at The Castle of Good Hope, the centerpoint from which the city grew. Nearby you’ll find Company’s Garden, the Parliament Building, and the South African Museum.
Don’t miss the District Six Museum, which gives voice to the 60,000 non-white residents who saw their vibrant multi-racial neighborhood flattened during the darkest days of the Apartheid era.
One neighborhood that was spared from apartheid’s wrecking ball is Bo-Kaap, where traditional Cape Malay culture continues amid the row houses of this colorful hillside suburb.
Visit the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront, and explore attractions such as Two Oceans Aquarium. The waterfront is also the gateway to one of the world’s most infamous prisons, Robben Island.
Table Mountain is Cape Town’s most beloved landmark. From the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, take a walking trail up the mountain, or take the Cableway for the spectacular ride to the viewing area.
Cape Town is one of the world’s great beach cities. From Green Point, the site of Cape Town’s futuristic stadium, follow the coast and discover one incredible beach after another.
Cape Town’s riches don’t end with its beaches, it’s also blessed with some of the best wine country in the world. After touring the acclaimed wineries of Paarl and Stellenbosch, head up Franschhoek Pass and wander hillsides filled with Proteas.
In local tradition, the Protea represents transformation, courage and hope. Cape Town is a city which shares the same soil, so it’s not surprising that it embodies those same qualities too.

The Lakes Of The Great Rift Valley Travel Guide (East Africa) Vacation Travel Video Guide
Documentary about the Lakes of the Great rift Valley in East Africa.
The Great Rift Valley is part of a huge geological fault in East Africa. This fascinating deep scar in the Earth’s crust that divides Kenya in a north-south direction, extends for nine thousand kilometres within a wild and seemingly endless landscape. The fault is particularly famous for its soda, alkaline and freshwater lakes such as Lake Naivasha that is located a hundred kilometres from Nairobi. As with many other lakes in the Great Rift Valley, with more than four hundred bird species Lake Naivasha is a true paradise among ornithologists. The tranquillity of the lake can be quite deceptive and the Massai name of the lake, En-Aiposha, meaning ‘back and forth’, is an indication of how turbulent Naivasha can sometimes be. A friendly welcome awaits visitors to Crescent Island at the southern end of Lake Naivasha. This idyllic island is located on the edge of a submerged volcanic crater and as there are no dangerous animals on the island it can be explored at leisure. Lake Nakuru’s main attraction is its flamingo population. Up to two million of these birds once lived here and even today they have transformed the lake into a mass of dazzling colour. Cormorants, heron and pelican are among the most important birds on Lake Nakuru. They each survive on fish of which the lake has an abundant supply. Located below the six hundred metre high Laikipia Escarpment, Lake Bogoria is the most spectacular lake in the Great Rift Valley. As with most lakes in this region Lake Bogoria is alkaline due to its lack of outlets yet at the same time it is paradise for the flamingo. The fascinating lakes of the Great Rift Valley are one of the most outstanding highlights of Kenya’s landscape and one of the most spectacular areas on the entire African continent.

KENYA | Trip of a lifetime
Kenya, a bunch of friends and 3 Land Rovers....the perfect mix to a great African adventure. We spent just over 2 weeks cruising through Kenya witnessing some amazing sights as we passed by Mount Kenya, the Masai Mara, Naivasha, Hells Gate, Lake Nakuru, Lake Bogoria and even the bustling capital Nairobi. There was never a dull moment throughout the trip but my favourite moments were seeing the thousands of flamingos in Bogoria and camping out in the Masai Mara witnessing the river crossings during the great migration.
This is just a small bit of what I filmed along the way on my little Lumix Gh5, there is a full length 'visual vibes' film coming soon of the entire trip including everyones footage on Ben's channel, so this is just a teaser ;) .

Kenya From the Air
SOMETIMES YOU STUMBLE ACROSS a place that seems like it got far more than its fair share of natural beauty. Places with spectacular wildlife, gorgeous scenery, and an almost absurdly beautiful culture. Kenya is one of those places. I haven't scratched the surface yet, says Jamie Gaymer, a game warden at the Ol Jogi Wildlife Conservancy, and there is so much out there in these remote places that has not been explored. And I have the opportunity to spend the rest of my life doing that.
You've undoubtedly seen Kenya on wildlife and nature programs on TV. But we decided to go to Kenya and shoot it in a different way. We took to the skies. From drones and from planes, we traveled to the remote and beautiful parts of one of the most stunning places in the world and captured its wildlife, its landscapes, and all of its natural beauty from above. The result is one of the most beautiful videos we've ever done. Check it out.
Special thanks to our friends at Ol Jogi

WHAT TO DO IN KENYA in 60 seconds
It doesn’t get much wilder than Kenya. Here are the highlights in 60 seconds. Tim spent two weeks in this truly epic country with unique wildlife and culture. But have a look at it yourself.

It went all too fast? You want the details? No problem.
Here are our recommendations in order of appearance:
0:15
Roads
The infrastructure in Kenya is not the best in the world. In fact it’s difficult to travel the country on your own. If you’re an experienced backpacker you can use public transport like busses or the new high speed train between Mombasa and Nairobi, but if not: stay with a tour operator. They can be quite expensive, but prices for accommodation are quite low – especially when you’re fine with camping.
0:15
Sheldrick Wildlife Trust
Baby elephants. Yes. BABY ELEPHANTS! And you can get so close! The Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Nairobi rescues injured elephants and prepares them for their release. Visitors are only allowed between 11 a.m. and noon, since they don’t want to tame the elephants.
0:19
Giraffe Centre
The Giraffe Centre tries to protect the endangered Rothschild Giraffe. And you as a tourist can help them by paying a rather expensive entry fee and climb the ladder to the viewing platform.
0:21
Maasai Mara
This is probably the most popular national park in Kenya. The Maasai Mara is basically the Kenyan part of the Serengeti. That means you’ll get endless plains with thousands of animals – including very rare leopards and a huge amount of lions.
0:25
Tsavo West
This is our favourite national park in Kenya. Tsavo West is famous for a stunning lava scenery that stretches out dozens of kilometres. Yes, there are animals but as the vegetation is quite dense they are hard to spot. This might be the reason that not many tourist come here – when we visited Tsavo we were the only guests in the entire park.
0:26
Amboseli
Huge herds of elephants and Africa’s highest peak, the Kilimanjaro, in the background – that’s the reason why you’re going to Amboseli National Park. Make sure you stop at the viewpoint in the middle of the park to get a stunning view over the endless plains.
0:30
Rift Valley
The Rift Valley stretches 6000 kilometres from Lebanon to Mozambique. Here in Kenya you get the best view on the boundary of the tectonic plates on the way between Nairobi and Naivasha - while trucks pass behind you at breakneck speed.
0:33
Lake Naivasha
You might not know Naivasha, but it’s quite likely that you bought something from there. The region is the flower centre of the world with endless greenhouses that grow roses and tulips for export.
0:36
Maasai Village
Maasai are everywhere in Kenya and very easy to recognise, since they always wear their traditional scarfs and sticks. It is impressive how proudly they conserve their traditional way of living. And they often offer you a chance to visit their villages.
0:44
Accommodation
It’s complicated. If you’re into camping you’ll love Kenya. If not it’s going to be quite expensive. Lodges can go up to once-in-a-lifetime prices and normal hotels are rare outside the bigger cities. Our recommendation would be to book an overland trip that solves the most difficult problem in Africa: Logistics.
0:52
Nairobi
Nairobi’s nickname is “Nairobbery”. Luckily that has changed in the past few years and crime rates are dropping. Nevertheless the city is still a melting pot of cultures and tribes. One of Kenyas biggest problems is the brain drain on the countryside since so many people come to Nairobi to make a living. The infrastructure couldn’t keep up with the migration resulting in nightmarish traffic jams.
0:55
Lion King
The famous movie is a tribute to the East African culture and especially the Swahili language. “Simba” means lion, “Rafiki” means friend and “Pumbaa” means foolish.
0:59
Diani Beach
Your trip to Kenya is not complete without a stop at the Indian Ocean. Whilst you can leave Mombasa itself, it is definitely worth to relax on one of the beaches nearby: The water is crystal clear and the sand nearly white. We stopped at Diani Beach, where prices are still relatively low and self-catering apartments are affordable. Other popular destinations are Malindi, Watamu or Lamu.
1:03
Hakuna Matata
You might know these words from the Lion King as well. Hakuna Matata (“no worries”) is the principle Kenya runs on: Relax, take it easy.
