In a notable declaration on December 12, Kenyan President William Ruto revealed that effective from January 2024, visitors will be given free visa entry to the country. This move seeks to promote tourism in Kenya known for its various topographies and colorful ways of life. Kenya has made it possible for tourists to no longer need visas when traveling because they only require an e-travel authority. This decision is likely to attract many new tourists, especially adventurers interested in wildlife safaris as some famous destinations having unusual safaris like Masai Mara Safari offer Simba Safari, Twiga Safari, Lion Safari, and Tambo Safari.
