Entre las cosas que hacer en Kenia, lo primero que viene a la mente es la Reserva Nacional Maasai Mara, que cada año, de julio a octubre, es escenario de la migración de cerca de 1,5 millones de animales salvajes. En el Parque Nacional de Nairobi, a solo 7 kilómetros al sur de la capital, se ven leones en el mismo encuadre que el perfil de la ciudad. La playa de Diani, en la costa del océano Índico, es ideal para nadar y bucear por su arena blanca y sus arrecifes de coral.
Diani
La laguna somera que permanece en calma 350 días al año reconforta a cada nadador, del novato al profesional. Al amanecer la playa es solo suya; camina descalzo por los senderos de arrecife que deja al descubierto el mar al retirarse.
Datos rápidos: El cambio de marea de hasta 4 metros transforma dos veces al día la playa de 17 kilómetros en una escena completamente distinta. El agua que retrocede deja al descubierto arrecifes de coral a los que se puede llegar caminando y muestra peces tropicales que llegan hasta los tobillos.
Destacados: En el bosque justo detrás de la playa viven más de 400 monos colobos blancos y negros; al amanecer puedes observar de cerca a las familias que cruzan las copas de los árboles. Las tortugas marinas verdes que pastan en las aguas poco profundas del arrecife de coral se ven tan nítidas a 20 metros de la costa que podrías contar las manchas de sus caparazones.

Uji is a smooth fermented porridge made from millet, sorghum, or maize flour, often enjoyed as a hearty breakfast. In some regions it is left to ferment naturally, which gives it a pleasantly tangy flavor and makes it packed with probiotics.
Mursik is a traditional fermented milk drink of the Kalenjin community, stored in a special gourd that is cleaned and smoked over burning branches. The smoking gives the milk a distinctive smoky taste and helps preserve it for weeks.
