The Republic of Kenya is one of East Africa's most picturesque countries. With a coastline on the Indian Ocean and vast savannahs with diverse wildlife, the exotic landscapes and various ethnic groups make this an ideal place to live. The weather is always warm because it is located right on the equator.
