It was formed more than 25 million years ago by geological tension in the earth’s crust and is approximately 6500 kilometres long and 60 kilometres wide. The wide valley allowed for many lakes to form, creating unique habitats for the country’s wildlife.

60 Languages

While Kenya may only have two official languages, Kiswahili (also referred to as Swahili) and English, there are around 68 languages spoken throughout the country.

Mount Kenya, the second-highest mountain in Africa

After Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Mount Kenya is the second-highest mountain in Africa.

The world’s largest desert lake

Lake Turkana is the world’s largest desert lake which is located in the north of the Great Rift Valley. It is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of the three Lake Turkana National Parks – Sibiloi National Park, Central Island National Park and South Island National Park.

The world’s leading safari destination

Kenya is recognized with the World Travel Awards for the world’s leading safari, a position it has held for seven years now.
