Visit Kenya, the Greatest Natural Show on Earth

If you are planning a trip to Kenya, you have probably discovered that the most common adjective used to describe it is "magical.
" One need only look at the Wildebeest Migration at Maasai Mara to see why.
Over a million wildebeest converge in the Serengeti to calve, drawn by the smell of rain and the promise of lush grass.
It is not only seeing this that is magical; you can hear, and feel, the herd approaching, millions of hoof beats drumming like thunder.
There are wildebeest as far as the eye can see, joined by zebra.
Predators, like lions and hyenas, are drawn to the spectacle, and the wildebeest must contend with these and the raging Mara River.
The dung from the animals fertilizes the plains, setting the stage for next year's migration.
It is the circle of life in action right before your eyes.
This is why Kenya is magical - and as impressive as the great Migration is, it is only one of the extraordinary experiences that awaits visitors.
Kenya's natural splendor begins with its weather: it is a year-round tropical haven for visitors from around the world.
Typically, the skies are sunny, and the nights and mornings are cooler.
This makes the pristine beaches and lively national parks enjoyable virtually any time.
Climate alone would make Kenya a prized destination - but luckily, there is quite a bit more.
Those who live in cold climes will fantasize about the stunning blue waters of the Indian Ocean and Kenya's soft, sandy beaches.
But close by are snow-capped mountain vistas, open savannahs, thick forests, and hot deserts.
The sheer geographical bounty Kenya possesses is surely envious, and it offers opportunities from safaris and bird watching to golf and horseback riding to scuba diving and hot air ballooning.
Whether you are an adventurer or a lounger, you will find just what you need to recharge your mind and body in Kenya.
Perhaps the biggest contributor to Kenya's great natural beauty is its wildlife.
Besides the incredible annual show of the Migration, Kenya offers some of the best game viewing in the world.
Visitors keep a careful eye out for the Big Five - lion, leopard, buffalo, rhino, and elephant - and while there is no guarantee you'll see all these beasts, odds are certainly better here than anywhere else.
Magical really is the only word that can come close to describing the rich, abundant, and stunning beauty of Kenya.
