Although southern Africa makes for a great stop during travels, it is important to venture to the east as well; here visitors will find Kenya, a country right on the coast of the Indian Ocean. A population of over forty-eight million makes Kenya a busy place with lots to do. Known as a safari departure point, Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, is a hub for tourism. Whitewater rafting is a joyful way to spend time here, as well as checking out the heritage of rock art, some of which has lasted over seventy thousand years. Marine parks also play a significant role in tourism attractions, with four major contributors. Each is packed with marine life, comprised of vibrant flora and countless species of fauna. However, some prefer the mainland for entertainment, which is perfect for safari’s allowing access to infamous animals, such as lions and giraffes.
