The geographical position of Kenya
Kenya is the 48th largest country in the world and roughly corresponds to the area of France. It is positioned in the eastern part of Africa, has access to the Indian Ocean in the southeast, and exits to Lake Victoria in the southwest.
It borders Uganda to the west, Ethiopia and South Sudan to the north, Somalia to the east, and Tanzania to the south, which includes the majestic island of Zanzibar. The capital of Kenya is Nairobi, and next to it stands out the city of Mombasa, a port city on the coast of the Indian Ocean.
Nairobi - the capital of Kenya
Nairobi is one of the most modern cities in Africa, where you will find skyscrapers and tall modern buildings, as well as beautiful parks and lots of greenery. It is the commercial center of Kenya. Many famous artists lived in Nairobi and were fascinated by Kenya, and certainly the most important is Ernest Hemingway. Nairobi is located in the southern part of Kenya towards the border with Tanzania and in that part most of the population is concentrated. The city is located at an altitude that makes the climate more pleasant than in other parts of Kenya.
Mombasa - a city on the coast of the Indian Ocean
The second-largest city in Kenya located on the shores of the magnificent Indian Ocean is Mombasa. Right here you can swim on the beautiful sandy beaches, on the shores of which there are many bars and restaurants. However, Mombasa is a predominantly poor city. It is also the largest port in the country and as such is of great importance for East Africa. Although quite poor, this city is extremely busy and known for its trade and visually appealing markets. The proximity of national parks for which Kenya is known all over the world and the exit to the ocean make this city especially interesting for visitors.
Best time to travel to Kenya
Kenya is a country whose equator intersects in two equal parts and a place where the tropical climate prevails. It should be borne in mind that not every season is recommended for travel. Humidity and heat can be expected in the coastal part, and the rainy season usually lasts from October to December and from April to June. Although the temperature is pleasant all year round, averaging 20 to 25 degrees, the tourist season in Kenya is in the winter months, January and February, so it is the best part of the year to travel to this exotic country. During that period, wild animals also gather around the water and it is easiest to see them then.
