Geography
Explore the geographic features that help explain Kenya.
Highlands across the equator
Kenya straddles the equator in East Africa and faces the Indian Ocean. Equatorial location does not make every place equally hot: the central highlands, including Nairobi, are cooler than the coast and lowlands. Elevation strongly shapes temperature and farming.
[1]The Great Rift Valley and lakes
The Great Rift Valley crosses Kenya from north to south, marked by escarpments, volcanoes and elongated lakes. It is a region where Earth's crust is pulling apart. Lake Victoria lies partly to the west and Lake Turkana in the north, shaping water and settlement.
[1]From coast to savanna and mountains
Low humid coastal plains and reefs give way inland to savanna, plateaus and mountains. Mount Kenya is the country's highest peak. Seasonal rain and relief separate drier pastoral regions from wetter highlands where tea and coffee grow.
