Located in the east of Africa, with plenty of tourist attractions and a rich history to discover, book cheap flights to Kenya with Globehunters and explore this fascinating and beautiful country.

Whether you want to head out on safari, explore cities such as Nairobi and Mombasa or simply chill out on the beaches of the Indian Ocean, Kenya has something to offer all kinds of holidaymakers.

The majority of the holiday resorts are situated around Mombasa and the surrounding towns such as Malindi, Diani, Watamu and Lamu.

If you fancy doing something a bit more adventurous than lying on the beach though, be sure to check out the safari and game parks such as Tsavo East and West, where you can see such incredible animals as lions, elephants, leopards and rhinos.

Nairobi, the capital, is a busy city, where sparkling new modern architecture stands alongside shanty towns, with lots of old colonial buildings dotted around too, such as the house of Karen Blixen, author of the book Out of Africa, which is now a museum.

You may also want to take a day trip into one of the neighbouring countries, such as Tanzania or the islands of Zanzibar.
