These are the Kenyan sites Obama wants to visit

US President Barack Obama has promised to come back to Kenya and explore the spectacular tourist destinations.

In an interview with Capital FM on Sunday, President Obama said he is looking forward to visiting Kenya again as a private citizen.

“This way, I can leave my hotel room and explore the beautiful destinations that Kenya has to offer.”

He went ahead to name some of the destinations that he would love to visit.

“I still love going to the Masai Mara and the Serengeti, it’s magical” President Obama said, “Lamu is also high on my list. My wife Michelle and I went there when we were engaged.”

President Obama went on to describe the intimate moments he and his wife shared in Lamu during their engagement, “I remember taking the dhows out to the sea for fishing and then cooking the fish right at the beach… It was remarkable!”

President Obama also said he is ready to explore other destinations in East Africa.

“I definitely want to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. I cannot do that now as President as it poses a security threat. The Secret Service would not be too happy if I did,” he joked.

President Obama had earlier pledged his support to Kenya saying,

“My presence in Kenya should show the world that Kenya is safe. I will be back.’’

He had also promised to bring his family along in his next visit after he retires from office.

“I will be back to Kenya next time, maybe not in a suit. I will also come with Malia and Sasha. My family loves Kenya,” said the American President.
