Geography
Kenya is a country on the eastern coast of Africa, right on the equator. It is a land of striking landscapes, ranging from snowcapped Mount Kenya to rich farmlands, barren deserts and tropical forests. In the east its border is the warm Indian Ocean, with a multitude of luxurious beach resorts. Access to the southern beaches is via Mombasa and to the central beaches is via Malindi. These waters are famed fishing grounds and also offer excellent scuba diving. In the south, Kenya borders on Tanzania with Mt Kilimanjaro being a famous landmark, as well as the Masai Mara. The northern region is dry and arid, while the west is characterised by the lush Great Rift Valley with its many lakes. Almost one third of Kenya is under wildlife management.
