Introduction to Kenya

Kenya, strategically located along the eastern coastline of Africa, is bordered by the Indian Ocean to the southeast, making it a key maritime gateway for trade in East Africa. The country shares borders with five countries: Tanzania to the south, Uganda to the west, South Sudan to the northwest, Ethiopia to the north, and Somalia to the northeast. With a land area of about 580,367 square kilometers, Kenya is famous for its striking landscapes, ranging from vast savannahs to snow-capped mountains. The country’s capital, Nairobi, is a vibrant economic hub in the region. Kenya is also a global pioneer in wildlife conservation, eco-tourism, and digital innovation, with its capital earning the nickname “Silicon Savannah” due to its dynamic technology scene.
