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.
