There's so much to do in Kenya that one can easily fall short of time. Of course, going for a wildlife safari at Maasai Mara is something that one can never miss! Apart from that, if you happen to be in the country during the "Great Wildebeest Migration", then you should surely witness it - one of the best natural migrations in the world. In the outskirts of Nairobi, there's David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust where you can spend a whole day, playing with little elephants and feeding them. Take a tour of the Giraffe Manor or just explore the markets of Nairobi, savoring the flavors of delicious Kenyan cuisine. Day trips can also be arranged for Amboseli National Park, Nairobi National Park, Mombasa, and other places.
