WHY KENYA WILL ALWAYS BE AFRICA'S BEST TOURIST DESTINATION

www.janolandtravel.comPlanning a trip to Africa can be daunting especially if you still have no idea where to go. If you already have your heart set on Kenya, then you’re up for some serious adventure. If not, well, maybe if you’d understand why we love Kenya then you will love it, too. Either way, here are our top 9 reasons why Kenya is the top safari destination in 2019:

1: African Safari Central

Albeit unofficially proclaimed, Kenya has always been known to be the “Classic Africa” — no wonder why the original films of Disney’s The Lion King were inspired here. Home to Africa’s most iconic parks, conservancies and game reserves, Kenya guarantees some of the most exotic, diverse and breathtaking wildlife you will ever see. From the famous Big Five to wild animals that can only be found in this part of the world, Kenya will not disappoint. When it comes to topography, Kenya has scenery that knows no bounds. It features an unrivaled land of diversity and contrast. From vast savannah plains, gorgeous mountains and intriguing woodlands to lush forests and hot deserts to turquoise seas, winding rivers and beautiful white sand beaches!

The best part of Kenya being a top safari destination is, you get to experience all these in the raw! You can see lions, cheetahs, zebras, gazelles and a lot more animals in their natural habitat. If you’re lucky, you can even touch them, feed them and ride them! All you need is an expert guide and a reliable Kenya safari tour operator to bring you to the right places at the right times.

2: The Great Migration

Imagine millions of wildebeests accompanied by thousands of zebras, gazelles, and impalas thundering the plains of Masai Mara as they move from one place to another in search for better grazing. Around the end of July to September, these animals go through a dramatic river crossing at the crocodile-infested Mara River. This event is deemed a Natural World Wonder and is often coined “The World Cup of Wildlife.” By October through November, the survivors congregate around Masai Mara as they prepare to move back to the Serengeti for food and water. Of course, all throughout their journey, predators are lurking around, waiting for the perfect time to go for a kill. This action-packed annual event is certainly a bucket list experience. Where else should you go to witness this spectacle of nature than to Kenya, the quintessential African top safari destination?

3: Top 3 World Destination for 2019

Did you know that Kenya’s capital, Nairobi, was coined the “Most Intelligent City in Africa”? It has also been awarded as the third best World Destination for 2019 by TripAdvisor. It really is no surprise. Nairobi is one of the most developed cities in the entire continent especially when we talk about infrastructure. With a high-speed internet connection, good roads, a myriad of international, domestic and military airports, excellent housing, a forward-moving economy and a 24/7 business hub that offers something for everyone, Kenya is slowly moving toward the Second World Rank and onto the First World Rank in the coming years.

This way, you won’t only enjoy a star-lit evening in the bush but you also get to sojourn with nature and maybe even meet fellow adventurers! The coolest thing? Camping sites and lodges are situated in the most safari-centric locations!

The basics of the wild, conservation strategies and respect to the environment are some of the things that kids will learn. Childminders are also available upon request. With this option, Kenya proves to be a top safari destination for families.

Kenya also offers unique and exciting activities for everyone. In the inland of Northern Kenya, you can try world-class horseback and camel riding. Balloon safaris are also common. Imagine floating on top of prolific wildlife and enjoying a picturesque bird’s eye view of Kenya’s gorgeous plains and savannahs.
