On the southeast is its coastal region and to the east lies Somalia. Ethiopia is to the north, Sudan to the northwest, and Uganda to the west. The southwestern border of the country is lined by Lake Victoria, and southward lies Tanzania. Kenya's geography is spectacular and varied. While much of northeastern Kenya is a flat, bush-covered plain, the rest of the country comprises pristine beaches, scenic highlands and lake regions, the Great Riftvalley, and the magnificent Mountainous regions of Kenya. Seasonal Tours and Safaris Travel statistics indicate that some seasons are more preferable than others. Kenya has a wide variety of climatic conditions although there are no great extremes. The temperature remains comfortably warm year-round except for a month or two when it can get very cold - though nothing compared to Winter! Much of Kenya experiences heavy rainfall from March through May and, to a lesser extent, from October through December. The best season for most outdoor acitivities like safaris and mountain climbing is during the dry season (June-September). This is the most ideal time to travel to Kenya. Kenya's People/Cultural Safaris Kenya has known the presence of mankind since the very earliest development of known human species. Moreover, the region has for a long time been a migratory path, passed through by wave upon wave of peoples from all over Africa and later on from the Middle East. By the 10th century or thereabouts, the region had developed its own language- Swahili -which is a Bantu language which has borrowed heavily from Arabic. Kenya's Rich Cultural History The Portuguese arrived at the coastal region at the end of the 15th century and therefore the East African coastal region was dominated by Europeans for a long time. However, in 1729 the Portuguese were expelled and were replaced by two Arab dynasties. Arab rule lasted until the end of the 18th century, when Kenya came under the British sphere of influence. The country attained independence in 1963. Although it has experienced its share of internal and external strife, Kenya has in recent years made great strides in enhancing democracy and good governance not just in the country but in Africa at large. Kenya's population today stands at almost 30 million. 97 percent comprises people of African descent, though that group is composed of over 40 different tribal groups. Among the most significant are the Kikuyu, Kamba, Gusii, Kalenjin, Luhya, and Luo. Kenya's official language is English and Swahili is the national language. Tribal languages abound especially in the rural areas.
