Kenya has long been known as the home of Africa’s “big five” (Lion, rhino, Leopard and buffalo). This is one of the best places in the continent to see these five magnificent species in their natural environment as well as other varieties of plains game. It is the country of the "Born Free" movie, of the "Out of Africa" story of Karen Blixen, of the "White Mischief" infamy and of the "Lunatic Express" - the first railway line that was laid at the turn of the 19th century and was the object of derision in Britain.

Among the people for which Kenya has been made famous are the Maasai and Samburu with their Spartan-like lifestyles, the Luo with their link to the ancestry of Barack Obama the President of the USA and the Somali - a people who in the last two hundred years stopped early explorers from venturing into East Africa.
