The country takes its name from Mount Kenya, located in the central highlands. Location and Geography. Kenya is located in East Africa and borders Somalia to the northeast, Ethiopia to the north, Sudan to the northwest, Uganda to the west, Tanzania to the south, and the Indian Ocean to the east. The country straddles the equator, covering a total of 224,961 square miles (582,600 square kilome-tres; roughly twice the size of the state of Nevada). Kenya has wide white-sand beaches on the coast. Inland plains cover three-quarters of the country; they are mostly bush, covered in underbrush. In the west are the highlands where the alti-tude rises from three thousand to ten thousand feet. Nairobi, Kenya's largest city and capital, is located in the central highlands. The highest point, at 17,058 feet (5,200 meters), is Mount Kenya. Kenya shares Lake Victoria, the largest lake in Africa and the main source of the Nile River, with Tanzania and Uganda. Another significant feature of Kenyan geography is the Great Rift Valley, the wide, steep canyon that cuts through the highlands. Kenya is also home to some of the world's most spectacular wildlife, including elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras, ante-lope, wildebeests, and many rare and beautiful species of birds. Unfortunately, the animal population is threatened by both hunting and an expanding human population; wildlife numbers fell drastically through the twentieth century. The gov-ernment has introduced strict legislation regulating hunting, and has established a system of national parks to protect the wildlife.
Kenya has some of the most stunning natural landscape in the world. From end-less plains to tropical rainforest, the diversity and spectacle of the country is stag-gering. It also has some of the most fascinating and adored wildlife in the world; elephants, zebras, giraffes and lions can all be seen in their natural habitat. Its cit-ies are a vivid melting pot of traditional and modern cultures, and its history is rich and fascinating. Kenya is the ideal choice for people who aren't content with just lying on a beach. There are so many unforgettable sights and experiences on of-fer in Kenya. It is a paradise for anyone with a sense of adventure. However, its position on the equator mean the sun is usually shining and Kenya's stunning white, sandy coastline are ideal if you wish to enjoy a more traditional relaxing holiday as well.

Kenya's diverse range of habitats - from the snow capped peak of Mount Kenya to coral reefs, fertile flood plains to baking desert - make this kaleidoscopic coun-try hard to rival: certainly if you're after colour, spectacle and constantly changing scenery. Extraordinary wildlife, boundless wilderness and proud, friendly people - Kenya offers a lot of holiday for your money. At the coast, gentle trade winds take the edge of the humid, equatorial sun and the warm Indian ocean washes onto wide sandy beaches. The Masai Mara, perhaps Kenya's chief attraction, is just one of 59 National Parks. A Kenyan safari (especially one which successfully tracks down the 'Big Five') is a genuine before-you-die 'must do'. Other great Kenyan experiences might include Lake Nakuru's living pink carpet of flamingos, a bird-watching expedition into the rainforest, or a tour around Mombasa's Ara-bian influenced old town. But, wherever you visit, it will be the natural world, un-changed and unhindered, that will enthral the most. The coastal town of Mombasa is the second largest city in Kenya, with a population of half a million. With some of Africa's best white-sand beaches, a cosmopolitan mix of races and nationalities in the city's vibrant old-town and a string of world class resorts fanning out in ei-ther direction, Mombasa is usually the first choice for travellers seeking the thrill of Africa with the comfort of modern tourist facilities.
It comes as a surprise to find Kenya as something of a gourmet paradise. Africa as a whole is not noted for the quality of its food, but Kenya has one massive ad-vantage - it can produce almost everything from fine beef to a wide variety of sea-food, from strawberries and apples to bananas, passion fruit, and papaya. The quality and range of the superb tropical fruits is the single greatest treat the coun-try has to offer. As each new wave of people has entered the country, they have brought their traditional foods with them. The result is an enormous range of cui-sines, from traditional African fare to English pies and puddings. Swahili and In-dian dishes have been absorbed as local standards, and pizza, pasta, and ham-burgers are coming up from behind. Meanwhile, the international tourist trade has quietly transformed standards, bringing in foreign chefs who can rival the best French kitchens. Most restaurants have at least one vegetarian option. Food tends to come in enormous quantities - either in set meals of several courses, or on the groaning buffet tables that have become a Kenyan hallmark. These can be found in most hotels and restaurants, and offer amazing value, as-much-as-you-can-eat feasts for ludicrously low prices
