Kenya is an East African republic bordered the Indian Ocean on the southeast, Tanzania on the south, Uganda on the west, Sudan on the northwest, Ethiopia on the north, and Somalia on the northeast.

The climate of Kenya ranges from tropical along the Indian Ocean coast to arid in the interior with the fertile Kenyan Highlands in the west.

The central highlands are bisected by the Great Rift Valley, a geological feature that runs from southwest Asia (the Middle East) to East Africa. The Great Rift Valley is the discovery site of the almost complete skeleton of “Lucy”, a hominid ancestor of modern humans and “Lake Turkana Boy”.

Nairobi, the capital and largest city of Kenya, was founded in 1899 as a rail supply depot on the rail line connecting Mombasa to Kampala.

Today Nairobi is one of the most prominent cities in Africa politically and financially.

Famous people associated with Nairobi: Wangari Maathai, Richard Dawkins.

Mombasa, the second-largest city in Kenya, is situated on Mombasa Island in the Indian Ocean, separated from mainland Africa by two creeks. It is a major port and serves as the center of Kenya's coastal tourism industry.

Mombasa's Kilindini Harbor is a ria, a “coastal inlet formed by the partial submerged or drowned river valley that remains open to the sea”.

FYI ~ Vasco da Gama was the first known European to visit Mombasa, in 1498. The Portugeuse built Fort Jesus in 1593.

The highest mountain in Kenya, Mount Kenya, is an extinct stratovolcano about 3 million years old (Plio-Pleistocene). Located just south of the equator, and 93 miles (150 km) northeast of the capital Nairobi, Mount Kenya is protected as a national park and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Erosion from glaciers has created three peaks, Batian, Nelion, and Point Lenana. The glaciers on Mount Kenya are rapidly retreating and it is predicted by the Kenya Wildlife Service that in less than 30 years there will no longer be ice on Mount Kenya.

FYI ~ In 1934 early film journalists Martin and Osa Johnson were the first to fly over Mount Kenya, and filmed the adventure.

The most complete early human skeleton ever found, known as the Lake Turkana Boy, was of an individual hominid who died in the early Pleistocene (1.5 million years old). Shape of the pelvis suggests a male, estimated to be between 7 to 15 years old at time of death. He is classified as either Homo erectus or Homo ergaster. The skeleton was discovered near Lake Turkana, Kenya, in 1984 by Kamoya Kimeu, a member of a team led by Richard Leakey.
