Kenya's flag is a black, red, green, and white with a traditional Masai shield and white spears in the center. The flag was adopted on December 12, 1963.
The black represents the people of Kenya, the red represents blood, the green represents natural wealth, and the white represents peace. The Masai shield and spears represents the defense of freedom.

Kenya's is a land of endless potential and a delight for wildlife enthusiasts. Not only is there the Big 5 to look for, but there is also an abundance of birdlife and an Indian Ocean full of other wonders and corals.
For your safari, you can have choices. You can plan and finalise your safari through your travel agent, or directly with an operator in Mombasa. You can choose to go by air, by road or have a mixture of both. Of course, if you fly, then you will miss much of the stunning scenery - which is much of a safari experience.
If you enjoy the planning aspect of a trip and like to travel independently of a group of tourist you don't know, a customised and tailored safari is the one for you.

WHEN TO VISIT
You really can visit Kenya any time of the year. The coastal region of Kenya is predominately hot and humid all the year round. However, soothed by the sea breezes, the cooler winter months are extremely pleasant.
