Kenya
Kenyan Coast
A complete guide to Kenya’s Indian Ocean coast: Diani, Mombasa, Watamu, Malindi and Lamu, with marine life, culture, tides and safari connections.
Kenya · Tanzania · Uganda
Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda each need a different plan.
Kenya can connect mountains, safari and coast. Tanzania changes with the northern circuit, Kilimanjaro and the season. Uganda asks you to plan around forests, primates, the Nile and the Rwenzori. Start with the country, then compare the regions that give it its character.
