Kenya

Kenya straddles the equator where the East African savanna meets the Indian Ocean coast, and the contrast shapes nearly everything — the smell of red dust in the Rift Valley, the salt air of Mombasa, the cool green highlands above Nairobi. Wildlife and agriculture define the rhythm of daily life across most of the country.
