Kenya has a humbling effect on those who travel there. To call a trip to this African country a mere holiday is to underestimate its effect on you. Visit ‘the cradle of civilisation’, as it is sometimes called, and you’ll experience a lasting, spiritual connection. For some it is love at first sight. From the Rift Valley and the shores of Lake Naivasha, to the cosmopolitan bustle of Nairobi and the white sand beaches that melt into the crystal Indian Ocean, Kenya is a world-traveller’s dream destination.
