Kenya is a country of dramatic extremes and classic contrasts: desert and alpine snows; forests, both lowland and montane; acacia woodlands and open plains; vast freshwater lakes and the superb coastline pounded by the Indian Ocean.

In terms of geography, Kenya is bounded to the north by Ethiopia, whose highland bastions are the site of an ancient civilisation, partly Christian. To the northeast is Somalia, hot, arid lowland of semi-desert. The nomads and camels spill over into modern Kenya.

Most of Kenya’s eastern border is warm, unruffled and translucent ocean. Along the parallel strip of beach and tropical hinterland, the environment has all the attributes – and more – of a South Seas island.

To the south is Tanzania, the border a division between political and economic ideologies, and also between people of the same tribal origins – the Digo on the coast, and the Maasai and the Kuria in the west, where the frontier ends at the inland sea of Lake Victoria. On the western flank is Uganda a peaceful and stable country.
