Kenya

Kenya is a state in East Africa bordering Ethiopia, South Sudan and Tanzania, with Nairobi as its capital.

It appears to be a state full of enchanting landscapes surrounded by greenery and with fascinating animal species to admire; in fact, it is known to carry out Safari excursions in the most common parks in Kenya such as Amboseli National Park but also to visit Mount Kenya, the tribes of Kenya, the famous Fort Jesus in Mombasa as well as a Renaissance fort included among the UNESCO World Heritage Sites and finally the capital Nairobi, an urban center that is not far from natural attractions.

Kenya is among the few states to have a population of 75% of young people under the age of 30 and with 40 different ethnic groups, including the Kikuyu who occupy the highest status and followed by the Luo.

The most frequent, effective and cheap means of transport in Kenya are the matatu found in the city but also on the roads between the villages, no less used the buses, ferries and trains, made up of modern equipment but with higher costs than those just mentioned.

Kenya's climate varies from being tropical along the arid coast in the north and northeastern parts of the country.
