Kenya, located in East Africa, is renowned for its beautiful landscapes and extensive wildlife reserves. Kenya’s rich human history dates back numerous years, encompassing the Nilotic and Bantu migrations, and the arrival of Arab traders on the coast in the first century AD.
Kiswahili, one of the country’s official languages, has Bantu and Arabic roots; English, the second official language, is a vestige of its colonial past. Kenya has a rapidly growing economy, relying heavily on tourism for revenue, and is renowned for its safari experiences and the great Wildebeest migration shared with Tanzania.
