With outstanding natural beauty, prolific wildlife a gorgeous tropical coastline and a rich and diverse ethnic tapestry Kenya represent what the African continent has to offer in one single country. This talk touches on Kenya's geography and cultural diversity. Kenya is neatly dissected by the equator, enjoys a 480km tropical coastline and has a variety of mountains and lakes that lie in the Rift Valley. Kenya therefore boasts a spectrum of habitats from barren lava deserts, lush tropical forests, glaciers on Mount Kenya and a coastal strip and beaches lined with tropical shaded palms. All brought to life by the 42 different ethnic tribes and cultures that inhabit the land. The world famous Masaai and fierce Kikuyu are some of the highlights of the talk. Free admission. |
