The post Must-Do Experiences for Travelers in Kenya appeared first on Traveler Dreams.
]]>One of the most popular safari locations in Kenya is the Maasai Mara National Reserve, where visitors can witness wildebeest migration and spend time observing the “Big Five” animals – lions, elephants, leopards, buffalo, and rhinoceroses. At the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro, Amboseli National Park also offers mesmerizing views and the chance to see elephants up close.
Thanks to its position along the Indian Ocean, Kenya has several pristine beaches with white sand and crystal-clear waters. Take a day cruise to Mombasa Island to check out the Old Town markets and experience a bit of Swahili culture, or head to Diani Beach on the mainland for some water sports.
The best way to gain a deeper understanding of Kenya’s rich cultural heritage is to spend time with the Maasai people. Visit a Maasai village, attend a traditional dance performance, or try a workshop to learn how to make Maasai beadwork. By participating in community-based tourism initiatives, you’ll be able to have an authentic experience and support local communities in the process.

]]>Arguably the most stunning natural area you’ll find on the island is Black River Gorges National Park, found in its southwest portion. Here, you’ll be amazed at the verdant, lush green mountains which host waterfalls and animals such as the island’s macaques.
Southern Mauritius hosts Ganga Talao, a crater lake which is located in the secluded mountainous countryside of the island. It has been used as a pilgrimage site for Hindus for hundreds of years and offers unparalleled peace and tranquility.
This UNESCO World Heritage site is an unforgettable spot where a nearly 2,000-foot high rock monolith towers above the Indian Ocean on a peninsula, offering pristine beaches as its foot. Climb to the top of this mountain and then spend the rest of the day relaxing at the area’s sandy stretches!
