The places of Kenya
From the Maasai Mara's predator-rich plains to Lamu's coral-stone alleys, here are the destinations international travelers fly across the world to see — and the ones we know by heart.
The signature six

Semi-arid northern Kenya, home to the 'Samburu Special Five' — Grevy's zebra, reticulated giraffe, gerenuk, beisa oryx and Somali ostrich.
Africa's second-highest peak (5,199 m). Glaciated summits, alpine moorland and bamboo forests within a UNESCO World Heritage site.
A UNESCO World Heritage Swahili town — coral-stone houses, hand-carved doors, dhow sailing and a way of life unchanged for 700 years.
