The majority of the people of Mombasa are Muslims and Swahili is the common language that is used in the town.

Masai Mara is another good site where you can spend your holiday vacations. This park is the most famous in Kenya. The annual wildebeest migration is the main attraction and tourists come in large numbers throughout the year just to watch millions of wild animals. The greatest advantage with this park is, you can view different wild animals all at the same time. You will easily spot the big five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, rhino) including zebras, hyenas, antelopes, birds and gazelles. You can book a hot air balloon flight early enough and experience a life time adventure as you fly over the animals for the first time.

Your holiday vacation will also include visiting Lake Nakuru which is found in the Great Rift Valley. The millions of pink flamingo birds in the lake is a must watch. The salt water and the coral reefs make the lake an ideal home for these birds. However, due to inadequate rain over the past year, the water level has dramatically gone down making the flamingo population decrease dramatically. Man has also played a big role by destroying the water catchments areas where the main river feeding the lake get it's water. The government has however forced all the people who have settled in the forest vacate and tree plantation is on process.
