There are many reasons why foreign tourists fall in love with Kenya. It could be the renowned wildlife, with national parks and reserves such as Masai Mara, Amboseli, and Tsavo luring them like moths to light.

It could be the pristine, award-winning beaches of Diani and Watamu, or the cultural experiences from the over 40 ethnic groups, each with its unique traditions, languages, and customs.

Nothing beats the interaction with local communities, experiencing traditional dances, music, and cuisines. That is the cool side of local travel.
