Kogello – the village that nurtured the father of the first African US President was elevated to the world map, as visitors across the globe started touring the area. 

Top Tourist Attraction Sites in Kenya

Maasai Mara is undoubtedly the largest tourist attraction site in Kenya. This is due to the migration of Wildebeests and Thomson’s gazelle that send quakes across the Savannah, not forgetting lions which come to feast on wildebeests.

Tribes such as the Maasai, Samburu and Kikuyu have been acclaimed for sustaining the wildlife ecosystem over a long period of time. Their relative concord with the natural world deserves Nobel recognition.

Lake Nakuru National Park is famous over its massive flocks of pink flamingos. The Park was created in 1961 and hosts a variety of other wildlife species such as lions, waterbucks, white rhinos, leopards and warthogs.

Nairobi National Park is famous due to its proximity to the capital city of Kenya. The Park holds pride for hosting lions and giraffes that offers the City a unique ecosystem. The Park preserves some of the world’s most endangered wildlife species.

Why Kenya is a Great Country

It is beyond dispute that Kenya is stunning. The surrounding calderas, the spectacular Great Rift Valley, mountain ranges, the snow-masked peaks of Mount Kenya and the magnificent Coastal beaches depicts Kenya as the sanctified  country in Africa.

Kenyans must know that the country is well endowed. The country will remain a celebrated tourist destination, if Kenyans preserve the environment for the benefit of posterity.
