Kenya the Land of Contrasts

That Kenya is a "land of contrasts" is not a traveller's guide cliche. The country straddles the equator, lies between parallels 4 degrees South and North. The South Easterly shores are washed by the Indian Ocean, and to the west Kenya shares the waters of lake Victoria, the second largest fresh water lake in the world, with Uganda and Tanzania.
The vegetation varies from the dense tropical forests of the reserve and the mangrove forests along the coast, to the shruberry of the arid desert lands of the North to the thick mountainous forests and alpine vegetation along the slopes of the snow-capped

Kenya's landscape ranks among the most fascinating and diverse the world over. From the low-lying coastlands to the snow capped Mt. Kenya that rises to 17,058ft. above sea level. From the tree dotted plains to the jaggered escarpment that marks the sudden drop into the floor of the eastern arm of the Great Rift Valley with it's alkaline lakes.

With such contrasting topography, Kenya has an equally varied climate. The humid and hot coastal belt greatly contrasts the highlands where the temperatures could be as low as 5 degrees centigrade! The Lake Victoria region has tropical storms while the north has a typical desert climate where rain at times does not fall for periods up to one year.

And Kenya boasts some of the richest and diverse variety of game. The game reserves abound with elephants, rhinos, buffalos, lions, leopards, cheetahs and are also home of the rare green turtle, the endangered sable and antelope and over a thousands of bird species.
