Kenya travel guide

Kenya - Western (Chapter)

This is the Western Kenya chapter from Lonely Planet’s Kenya guidebook.

Few places on earth support such high concentrations of animals as the Masai Mara, and it’s wildebeest-spotted savannahs are the region’s star attraction. But there is much more to western Kenya – dense forests buzzing with creatures, rain-soaked hills and idyllic Lake Victoria islands.
