Lavish Photo Features offer a unique insight into the country's bird and plant life, and the Maasai tribes people and Swahili culture. All major sights are cross-referenced with the maps, and the travel tips section provides a wealth of practical information on how to plan your trip or choose a safari.Insight Guide Kenya now includes the Walking Eye app, free to download to smart phones and tablets on purchase of the book.
