Kenya
Sports tours to Kenya offer so much, with high quality sport and outstanding scenery. It has the white sand and palm tree-fringed beaches of its Indian Ocean coastline, plus rainforest, desert and more than its share of iconic natural landmarks. Discover Lake Victoria, the source of the River Nile, see the Great Rift Valley, or the snow-capped Mount Kenya on the Equator. It is also home to the Masai Mara. Recognised as the world’s most famous game reserve, it annually witnesses the migration of over 1,000,000 wildebeest and half a million zebra. Mount Kilimanjaro can be seen from Nairobi on a clear day, so too Mount Kenya.

Most of our itineraries are based around the three main centres in Kenya where serious sport is played and the best facilities exist; Nairobi, Mombasa and Nakuru. Not everything is possible during the course of a single visit but most of the essential highlights can be covered – in particular the Masai Mara, The Great Rift Valley and the Kenyan Coast.
