Kenya

The Republic of Kenya is a country in East Africa. It is bordered by Ethiopia to the north, Somalia to the northeast, Tanzania to the south, Uganda to the west, and Sudan to the northwest, with the Indian Ocean running along the southeast border. The country is named after Mount Kenya, a very significant landmark and the second among the highest mountain peaks of Africa.Before 1920, the area now known as Kenya was known as the British East Africa Protectorate and so there was no need to mention mount when referring to the mountain

Kenya is a MUST do!

Great Rift Valley.
Massai Mara.
The overnight train from Nairobi to Mombassa.

Just don't walk on the streets after dark anywhere.

It could be argued that "safari" was born in Kenya, with the primal drama of lion, leopard and cheetah hungrily following a sea of wildebeest so immense, at times it seems the earth itself is moving. Africa's single most famous safari draw, the annual Great Migration occurs every September and October as animals travel between Tanzania's Serengeti and Kenya's Masai Mara park reserve. The park takes its name from famous nomadic Maasai people, who wander as freely across the Kenya-Tanzania border as their cattle. There is more to Kenya than safari, though: from coral reefs and white sand beaches to tea plantations, plus a tourism infrastructure that can get you to all of them, you're not likely to get bored.

I've got a friend that flew out to Kenya on the weekend for a two week safari/photo shoot - will post some pics when he gets back but it got me thinking about visiting Agrica.

Can anyone share their experiences of Kenya - how easy is it to travel independantly around?
