Getting to Kenya         About Kenya

The country of Kenya is slightly smaller than the state of Texas, yet larger than France. It's 582,646 sq km contain most of the world's major climatic conditions. Kenya's topography is a study of contrasts. Features range from deserts to snow capped mountains, sandy coastlines to freshwater lakes, savannah grasslands to fertile agricultural plantations, extinct volcanoes to coral reefs. The country lies on the equator and is bordered on the north by Sudan, Somalia and Ethopia; Uganda and Lake Victoria lie to the west; Tanzania and Mount Kilimanjaro are to the south while the Indian Ocean lies to the east. Kenya has twenty mountains, six of which rise to over 3,000 meters (9,900 feet).

There are more than 70 tribal groups among the Africans in Kenya. Distinctions between many of them are blurred - western cultural values are becoming more ingrained and traditional values are disintegrating. Regardless of these influences though, each group has left its mark on the civilization of today and creates one of the most fascinating cultures in the world.

You are most welcome to the Magical Kenya
