Kenya country facts:
The Republic of Kenya Kenya is located in East Africa, bordered by Ethiopia to the north, Somalia to the northeast, Tanzania to the south, Uganda to the west, and Sudan to the northwest, with the Indian Ocean running along the southeast border. The capital city is Nairobi. The country is named after Mount Kenya, a very significant landmark and the second among the highest mountain peaks of Africa. Situated on the equator on Africa's east coast, Kenya has been described as "the cradle of humanity". In the Great Rift Valley palaeontologists have discovered some of the earliest evidence of man's ancestors. Modern Kenya is a presidential representative democratic republic, whereby the President was both the head of state and head of government, and of a multi-party system. Executive power is exercised by the government. Legislative power is vested in both the government and the National Assembly. The Judiciary is independent of the executive and the legislature. Geography
Kenya is a large country (582,646 km˛) where the from the coast on the Indian
Ocean the Low plains rise to central highlands. The highlands are bisected by
the Great Rift Valley; a fertile plateau in the east. The Kenyan Highlands
comprise one of the most successful agricultural production regions in Africa.
The highlands are the site of the highest point in Kenya (and the second highest
in Africa): Mount Kenya, which reaches 5,199 metres and is also the site of
glaciers. Climate varies from tropical along the coast to arid in the interior.
Mount Kilimanjaro (5,895m) can be seen from Kenya to the South of the Tanzanian
border.
Wild life
Kenya has considerable land area of wildlife habitat, including the fantastic
Masai Mara, where Blue Wildebeest and other bovids participate in a large scale
annual migration. Up to 250,000 blue wildebeest perish each year in the long and
arduous movement to find forage in the dry season. The "Big Five" animals of
Africa can also be found in Kenya: the lion, leopard, buffalo, rhinoceros and
elephant. A significant population of other wild animals, reptiles and birds can
be found in the national parks and game reserves in the country. Climate It is hot and humid at the coast, temperate inland and very dry in the north and northeast parts of the country. There is however a lot of rain between March and May, and moderate rain in October and November. The temperature remains high throughout these months.
Tourism With its scenic beauty and abundant wildlife, Kenya is one of Africa's major safari destinations, with more and more people enjoying Kenya holidays each year.
