Africa Travel / Africa Tour- Kenya
Kenya is still the primary focus of all adventure travel in Africa . It is one of the finest safari destinations in the world. Safaris however, are by no means the main reason to visit Kenya as there are considerable rich cultural and diverse environmental attractions also to be experienced. Kenya's geography is marvelously varied. While much of northeastern Kenya is a flat, bush-covered plane, the remainder of the country encompasses pristine beaches, scenic highlands and lake regions, the Great Rift Valley, and the magnificent Mount Kenya. By the 10th century or so, the region had developed its own lingua franca, Swahili, which is a Bantu language heavily overlaid with Arabic. Among other familiar words, safari is Swahili, meaning simply travel .
