]]> Kenya is a vacation destination for safaris and is home to some of the most incredible wildlife scenes in the world. Nonetheless, there is a lot more to do in Kenya than a safari, so don’t mistake it as a one-trick pony. Why not try some of these alternative suggestions?

Mount Kenya

This mountain is Africa’s second-highest but is far less known than Kilimanjaro. If you want a trek that is less crowded so you can enjoy the spectacular views, this is the climb for you. A guided trek will take 5 days from start to finish.

Diani Beach

This beach has 17 km of white velvet-like sand and clear turquoise water. It’s great for a relaxing day but also hosts a range of outdoor sports. From skydiving to jetskiing, there is an activity for every thrill seeker.

Sail on a Traditional Dhow

In Lamu Island in northern Kenya, you can still find the impressive dhow, a sailing vessel from Swahili past. Take a sunset trip or a snorkeling tour to really experience this collection of islands in a traditional way.

Dance the Night Away

Kenya’s capital Nairobi boasts a trendy nightlife. You will find numerous bars, clubs and cocktail lounges to let your hair down and party all night.

We would like to take this time to thank everyone that made our sundowner with @cuebur & @sebastiendutch possible!

Lake Turkana

Step back in time with a visit to this National Park. The active volcanoes and landscape set the scene of a prehistoric destination. You may not find dinosaurs but you can see the world’s largest group of Nile crocodiles.

photo by @randyolson | words by @neilshea13 — This is nearly the best of all endings. The wind is down, no pirates in sight, and there, in the net, is a fish. It’s not big, not small. Certainly it could have been larger, and yes, there might have been more. But, rejoice. The day is done and here is meat. You notice the fish’s eyes do not catch the colors of sunset. They are filmed over, reflecting nothing, gray as beach glass, which means the fish has been a while in the net. It’s too dead to sell, but not too dead for eating. So, dinner. Or breakfast! Really it depends on your wife. Probably she’ll want to feed the children in the morning. We drift out of the reeds and pull up alongside your canoe. The boats knock softly. A band of bright blue beads encircles your thready bicep. Out there birds are crying. Have you caught anything else? I ask, and you smile and say No, nothing, and then there is nothing else to say. So we sit a few moments, all of us together, silent, and watch the sun sink behind distant mountains. Soon it is too dark for note-taking and photography, but before the light has gone completely you stand and cast the net. Old Coke bottles will keep it afloat overnight. It’s like a coin toss, and tomorrow you’ll return early. No matter what you find—something, or nothing—you’ll cast again. Is this faith? You shrugged and said Everyone has their work. Then you turned and poled home. It was one of those rare evenings: empty of expectation. You were steady at twilight, last man on the water. Heading back happy to the same old beach. This is our final dispatch from Kenya’s Lake Turkana. Thank you all for joining us! In the next few days we’ll follow up with a couple of behind-the-scenes shots, and we hope to be back soon with more stories—if we can convince our bosses @natgeo to keep this concept alive.

]]> If you want your next holiday to be out of the ordinary, consider heading to Kenya, where you can enjoy unique experiences from your wildest dreams.

Embark on a Hot Air Safari

Going on a safari and taking a hot air balloon ride are on many people’s bucket lists. In Kenya, you can kill two birds with one stone by floating above the Savanna on a Hot Air Safari.

Eat Out in a Cave

At Ali Barbour’s Cave Restaraunt, you can enjoy your dinner inside a cave, with an open roof so you can see the stars.

The lessons we learnt from our first photo-worthy dining experience: 1. We're not made for the gap yah lifestyle. The fine dining lifestyle is too good! If you're reading this, big travel brand, please sponsor us 😂 2. You can get full from really amazing smelling food fumes. This place doesn't fit within our £33pp a day budget, so we just had a couple of pricey ciders instead and then went home to our backpackers to eat. However, the sweet smelling food gave us life. Alongside the free, hand cut and home-fried crisps the bartender (who must have seen us salivating at the aromas) kept on feeding us. 3. When a place does a dining experience right it makes a real difference. Ali Barbour has been around for 35+ years and the open-air caves even longer! Despite only having drinks we felt like royalty from start to finish – they even provided us a free ride home. So, if you're in Diani we recommend (actually, we insist) you have an Ali Barbour dining experience. If the food tastes as good as it smells, you will not regret it. #Diani #Kenya #AliBarboursCave

Watch the Whales

The Watamu Protected Area on the Kenyan Coast is a wonderful place to watch whales and dolphins. You can even spot the rare humpback whale here.

Admire Pink Flamingos

At Lake Nakuru National Park, you can watch thousands of pink flamingos during the hot season in the early months of the year. If you are into animal photography, it is a spectacular sight.

Skydive Above the Kenyan Coast

There are many places you can skydive but few views are arguably as spectacular as the Kenyan coast. Even if you are scared of heights, it is worth considering taking the leap for the once-in-a-lifetime experience.
