Tusks in Mombasa
Mombasa
BEACH! BEACH! BEACH! This is the Miami Beach of Kenya and also one of the main Kenya tourist attractions outside of the great migration. Gorgeous beaches line the area like Watamu and Tiwi beach. They even have isolated beaches like Lamu. Did I mention the beach? Watamu has great coral reefs providing great diving and snorkeling activities. There are also cultural and historical sites to see such as Hindu temples, Gede ruins in Malindi, and even the Njali Theater that plays Bollywood movies.
The Great Migration in Kenya
Great Migration
This is the most popular tourist attraction of all the things you can do in Kenya. An incredible sight to see as zebra, gazelles, and wildebeest, migrate north from Serengeti National Park in Tanzania to Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya. The best time to see the migration is in July and August (best in mid-July or after). Find a tour company that knows the routes and can provide the best experience.
Lake Manyara at the Great Rift Valley
Lakes & Rivers – great rift valley
The country has a bountiful system of lakes and rivers. Kenya also lays claim to the second largest fresh water lake in the world in Lake Victoria. Lake Bogoria is one of the popular Kenya tourist destinations known for its hot springs, geysers and the Great Rift Valley. The valley is a geological phenomenon that is great for pictures and exploring.
Mount Kenya
Mount Kilimanjaro & Mount Kenya
Towering at over 19,000 feet, Mount Kilimanjaro is the fourth-largest free-standing mountain in the world and the highest mountain in Africa. Great for hiking and other outdoor activities, many say that the best views of the great mountain come from Kenya. In order to get to the mountain you will have to cross into Tanzania and pick a good tour guide. Mount Kenya is the second highest mountain in Africa and the highest in all of Kenya. For hiking and outdoor enthusiasts it provides great opportunities with both mountains being so close to all the Kenya attractions.
A Safari in Kenya
Wildlife Parks and Sanctuaries
The wildlife that can be seen at the wildlife parks and sanctuaries in Kenya are unprecedented. Many times you are able to see exotic animals such as lions, cheetahs, monkeys, and many others in their natural habitat. There are even many homes in Kenya that have wild monkeys living in front and back yards. As with many places in Africa, many times you are able to play with some of the exotic animals such white tigers (I would recommend the babies not the adults).

Marcello Arrambide considers himself a fanatical entrepreneur. During his younger years, when CD burning software first came out, he burned CD’s and sold them for $5 to $10 a piece, worked at a bakery and took the leftovers to school and sold them to students for breakfast the next morning. He flew to New York City and found a contact in China to have purses and wallets shipped him directly to sell.
He has since tried sales, real estate, software and day trading, where he coaches others to learn and develop their skill in the market. He plans to show everyone how easy living and moving overseas can be on your own terms as long as you have high speed internet and a computer.
