Masai Mara and its great migration are the main attraction, but Kenya has much more to offer: numerous tribes with different customs (Kikuyu, Maasai, Samburu...), more intimate parks and reserves (Meru, Shaba, Tsavo..., lakes with fabulous biodiversity (Turkana, Naivasha, Baringo...the remains of humanity and very creative craftsmanship (carved woodwork, beads, fabrics...).
