Kenya Tour Details
About Kenya
Sports tours to Kenya offer so much, with high quality cricket or rugby amid stunning scenery. The landscape ranges from the white sand and palm tree-fringed beaches of its Indian Ocean coastline, to rainforest, desert and has 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's also home to the Masai Mara. Recognised as the world’s most famous game reserve, the Masai annually witnesses the migration of over 1,000,000 wildebeest and half a million zebra.
Why Cricket in Kenya?
Kenya offers a cricket tour with a real sense of adventure, combining competitive cricket with an environment that is completely different from the traditional touring destinations. Teams can play against established local clubs and schools, experience different playing conditions and enjoy quality cricket facilities, all while being immersed in East African culture.
