Among the countries of the so-called Black Continent, there are several groups that are the most "advanced" in terms of tourism. The first group is the states that have access to the Mediterranean and Red Seas, offering beach vacations and various excursion routes. The second group - "owners" of unique natural resources, excursions in Kenya or Tanzania are no less popular than walks to the famous Egyptian pyramids.
Experienced travelers advise visiting Kenyan land for several reasons. Firstly, this country is called the progenitor of human civilization. Secondly, ecological tourism is most developed here, there is an opportunity to see almost immediately the famous African Big Five: elephant, buffalo, lion, rhino and leopard. Thirdly, access to the Indian Ocean and the marine park created on its shore allow you to plunge (in the literal sense) into the amazing underwater world.
