Africa

Kenya is THE destination for the indecisive traveller! You're stuck for choice; you just can't decide if you want a holiday basking in the sun or prefer to head off on a once in a lifetime safari.&nbsp;If one thing's for sure, it’s that Kenya is undoubtedly the destination with something for everyone! It has mind-blowing landscapes equalled by a wealth of activities on offer. It's a multi-coloured and multi-cultural world! If its ochre-coloured savage paradise doesn't hit the mark, you'll certainly be seduced by the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean that borders Mombasa's beaches. Sporty types will love Mount Kenya's snowy peaks, whilst the lush landscape of Kenya's equatorial forests will seduce the hikers and trekkers amongst you. And if you enjoy spotting wildlife and learning about botany, you'll feel right at home! Just head to Lake Nakuru, with its mind-boggling population of pink flamingoes. Imagine yourself lazing by its shores and breathing in its sights and sounds... Or maybe it’s the Big 5 that interest you? Home to some of the best game parks in the world, including the Masai Mara National Reserve, this is a bucket list destination!

Lake Victoria is Africa's largest lake, the heart of the "African Great Lakes". In Kenya, its region is one of the country's least touristic: the lake is mostly dedicated to fishing and its industry. However, it is bordered by beautiful green hills.

Despite my curiosity and its cultural interest, I did not really find my stay on the Kenyan coast of Lake Victoria charming. Its shores, although lined with very green hills, seemed to be quite monotonous after the festival of Turkana Lake or that of Nakuru. What is more, problems of pollution, fishing, tea and sugar cane growing on an industrial scale have definitely made a big dent in the lake's original attractiveness.Kisumu, main port and Kenya's third city, is a somewhat sleepy town, with nothing of major interest besides its port, the economic fish-tank of the Victoria region. I was surprised by its Indo-Pakistanese community, very present...The most appealing activity to really feel the lake and make encounters is to take the boat between Kisumu and Homa Bay, which is a small town that is quite lively and rather pleasant. From there, I particularly enjoyed going to Mfangano Island, the fishing island that has remained authentic. Near the lake, Ruma National Park is home to beautiful Savannah and many wild animals.
