Flights to Kenya

Home to iconic wildlife and stunning natural landscapes, Kenya is one of the world’s most sought-after destinations.

The capital Nairobi offers its own charm, with lush green spaces intertwining with skyscrapers to create a dazzling skyline. Explore this energetic, cosmopolitan city and discover Kenya’s rich history at the Nairobi National Museum, where extraordinary exhibits range from early human fossils to intricate ecological displays. A trip to the city’s Massai markets can offer further insight into Kenyan life – wander market stalls propped up among the trees and brimming with traditional beaded jewellery and artwork.

Nairobi also serves as a key jumping-off point for safaris across Kenya. The nation has a seemingly endless selection of astonishing national parks and wildlife, beginning with the Nairobi National Park, just a 30-minute drive from the capital. Here you’ll see an abundance of wildlife roam, including the endangered black rhino, as the cityscape punctuates the horizon and creates a captivating juxtaposition of natural and urban environments.

The Masai Mara National Reserve is an equally famous and spellbinding wildlife hotspot. Here you can see lions, cheetahs, elephants, zebras and hippos rove on vast open plains, and see the ethereal Great Migration, when over one million wildebeest and other herbivores embark on an epic journey.

Aside from its diverse wildlife, Kenya also boasts incredible natural landscapes. Hire a bike and cycle through the stunning Hell's Gate National Park, a deep valley characterised by sheer cliffs and a distinctive 25m volcanic column. Mount Kenya is another striking geological structure and Africa’s second-highest peak. Take a hike up this extinct volcano, which rises over 5,000m into the sky, to discover its glacier-clad summits and jagged rock formations.

Kenya is endowed with glorious palm-lined beaches too. Snorkel in the dazzling blue lagoon off the vibrant Diani Beach, or surf from the tranquil escape that is Galu Beach. Alternatively, glide across the water in a traditional dhow sailing boat, which launch from the shores of Mombasa and the historical island of Lamu.

A nation famed for its culinary delights, Kenya’s national dish nyama choma is an explosion of flavour. Enjoy roasted meat, such as goat, beef or lamb, slowly barbequed in a tantalising marinade of garlic, ginger, lemon and paprika. For vegetable lovers, sukuma wiki is a delightful dish comprised of collard greens, onions, tomatoes and an array of spices.
