Kenya pulsates with a rich tapestry of cultures and histories. The Bantu, Cushitic and Nilotic people were the region's early settlers, with European contact established by the Portuguese Empire in the 1500s. Kenya later fell under British rule, serving as a protectorate until gaining independence in 1963. The impressions of its past can be seen not only in the fascinating blend of cultures but also in the remarkable architecture of its cities.

Nairobi, the capital and largest city, bursts with energy and serves as a major regional commercial hub. Yet, a step back in time is only a short journey away - Mombasa, the oldest city and first capital of Kenya, reflects the country's rich historical tapestry with its blend of Swahili, Arab, and European influences. Equally captivating is Kisumu City, an inland port nestled on the shimmering shores of Lake Victoria.

From its early trading relationships with Arab traders and the establishment of the Swahili coast, to the migration of the Masai tribes and the arrival of the British East Africa Company, Kenya's history has been profoundly influenced by a multitude of cultures. Here, historical transition coexists beautifully with the country's stunning landscapes, making Kenya an irresistible destination for both the historically-curious and the nature-lover.

When to visit Kenya

Driven by the rhythms of nature and the startling beauty of its landscapes, Kenya is a year-round destination with something unique to offer in every season. For an unforgettable wildlife spectacle, visit between July and September when the Great Migration of wildebeest across its savannahs occurs.

December offers an enchanting experience of lush vegetation and fewer visitors, with the chance to witness animals nurturing their newborns against a painterly backdrop. Meanwhile, January and February are fantastic for wildlife spotting under the warm African sun.

June spells the end of the rainy season, making game viewing a bit more challenging yet incredibly rewarding amidst the vibrant, verdant greens of nature. By September, the dry weather ushers in excellent game viewing opportunities once more, allowing travellers to immerse themselves again in the heart of Africa's wildlife extravaganza.
