 According to anthropologists, the first humans originated in Kenya
Nowadays a good many of their descendants are attracted baxk by the country s spectacular scenery, varied wildlife and superb coastline .
Kenya is undoubtedly one of the best places in Africa in which to view wildlife .There are several distinct areas, each oggering its own scenic and animal attraction .The soda lakes of the Great Rift Valley supports , vast populations of birds, including tens of thousands of flamingos . The undulating plains of southern Kenya have magnificent sanctuaries . At the famors Amboseli National Park, animals can be seen against the photogenic backdrop of snow -capped Kilimanjaro . Masai Mara , the Kenyan section of the vast Serengeti plaims is the scene of the annual wildbeest migration when million-strong herds move north in July and August and south again in October . Tsavo is Kenya s
 largest national park , where waterholes attract huge numbers of animals and birds ,particularly during the dry season when water is scarce elsewhere
The mountainous country of the Central Highlands, comprising the Aberdares and the massif of Mount Kenya itself, lies to the north of Nairobi and is rich with game . However, it is more difficult to spot the animals here than in the open savannah of the plains . The fertile Kenya coast boasts broad ,soft sand beaches, shaded by palm trees and protected by coral reefs and its warm waters are home to prolific marine life .
There is , however, more to Kenya than just the wildlife. Visitors comforts have been carefully considered and game lodges, hotels and resorts provide excellent facilities and standards of service .
Kenya has been described by many thousands of writers-but never more evocatively than by Karen Blixen who, talking of the high country, observed a landscape without its like in all the world … it was Africa distilled up through six thousand feet like the strong and refined essence of a continent .
