East African country known for safari wildlife, the Great Rift Valley, and Mount Kenya
🎵Hey there, I'm Lin!
Jambo! I'm Lin! Kenya's safaris blew my mind—lions, elephants, and giraffes! The beaches are gorgeous, and the people are so warm and welcoming. You'll love learning some Swahili too!
Discover Kenya
Kenya has wide savannahs and many wild animals. In the Maasai Mara, lions rest in the shade, elephants walk in family groups, and giraffes feed from treetops. The Great Rift Valley has lakes full of flamingos, and snowy Mount Kenya rises above farms and forests. Near Mombasa, the Indian Ocean meets white-sand beaches.
The Maasai and other communities share colorful clothing, beadwork, music, and traditions. Rangers and scientists work to protect rhinos and elephants. Children learn Swahili words such as jambo, which means hello. Nairobi is a busy city, and Kenya is known for its runners.
