Tourism is one the best earners of the Kenyan economy . Kenya is truly blessed in terms of its natural attractions but there are some worth mentioning more than the rest.
Masai Mara National reserve is home to the new Seven Wonder of the World, the great wildebeest migration that takes place in the months of July to November. The park is about 1530km2 in size and is home to countless wild animal and species. In this great natural phenomenon, millions of wildebeests and zebras cross the Mara river patiently being watched by the alert crocodiles eager for an easy kill.
At the Masai Mara, all the "Big Five" wild animals can be seen here including the elephant, rhino, leopard, lion and the buffalo. The best vantage point to see the wild animals is at the Mara River as well as the Esoit Oloololo escarpment. For better views of the creatures, take a hot air balloon tour that can be organize by local tour companies.
Lake Bogoria in Rift Valley is renowned for its hot springs and geysers that spew out magnificent fountains of waters at 37 degrees temperature. The saline spring waters are thought to be therapeutic for the skin. The lake doesn't have high tourism traffic making it a perfect getaway picnic area. Hippos and gazelles make up the wild there, plus the 135 bird species, which include millions of migratory lesser flamingos that feed on the algae of the 10m deep lake.
The other unique attraction in Kenya is the coastal city of Mombasa known for its warm weather, laid back people, sandy beaches and clear waters. Mombasa is hot and humid all year round and this makes it a good attraction all year round.

For an adrenaline junkie, Nyali is the complete Kite and Wind Surfing destination run by Prosurf Kenya. The undersea Indian Ocean coral reef paradise teems with unique beautiful fish breeds. Dhow trips are offered to visitors wanting to get a feel of ancient maritime ocean excursions.
Did you know that Nairobi national park in Kenya is the only park in the world that borders a city.
