  » Location Of Kenya
Kenya is situated in East Africa, the Republic of Kenya is bordered on the north by Sudan & Ethiopia, on the east by Somalia and the Indian Ocean, on the south by Tanzania, and on the west by Lake Victoria and Uganda. Kenya has a tropical climate with sun throughout the year. Two times per year, the weather changes from rainy to dry season. The coast region is hotter than inlands, and in the mountains it’s outright cold.
Kenya is a country in East Africa which is comparable in size to the US state of Texas. Scientists believe that the first humans originated in this area. Most Kenyans seem optimistic about the country’s future.

Kenyans understandably pursue the business opportunities offered by tourism with a zeal that may be off putting to some visitors, but are usually open, talkative and friendly once business matters have been settled.

A page about sports in Kenya. Kenyans are crazy about football (soccer). The country has achieved remarkable successes in long-distance running, and to a lesser extent in cricket. However, the sport in which Kenyans are world-leaders is long-distance running. During the Sydney Olympics of 2000, Kenyans won the Olympic gold medal in the 3,000 meter steeplechase – a combination of hurdling, going through water and running, for the 7th time in a row.

  » History Of Kenya
It had been called the “cradle of mankind”, the place where the first humans appeared. In 1515, Francisco de Almeida’s armada staged a full-scale invasion of several coastal cities. In 1525 the Portuguese returned to sack Mombasa, now the second city of Kenya. In Mombasa they built Fort Jesus as a stronghold, which still is a main tourist attraction.
On the day of 12th December, 1963, the British granted full independence to Kenya. KANU leader Jomo Kenyatta (a Kikuyu) became it’s first president. However, Kenyatta was criticized because of authoritarian politics and favouritism: during his land reforms the best pieces of land went to his relatives and friends (The “Kiambu Mafia”), and Kenyatta himself became the nation’s largest landowner.
During the early 1970′s Kariuki became the principle opposition leader until 1975 when he was assassinated, the army and parliamentary police acted to restore order. In 1978 Kenyatta died. His ideas earned him many critics among them the vice-president Oginga Odinga who was part of an opposition party which was banned in 1966. Oginga Odinga was imprisoned, then he was released after agreeing to join the KANU. In 1969 Tom Mboya a powerful member of Luo’s government was assassinated leading to racial riots between the Kikuyu and Luo.
