Overview of Kenya

Kenya is a famous tourist destination in eastern Africa noted for its stunning scenery and significant wildlife conservation. The Indian Ocean coast offers historical ports from its documented history when goods from Arab and Asian traders reach the continent. Geography of Kenya
A long stretch of the coast of the Indian Ocean, which boasts some of Africa's finest beaches, is home to Muslim Swahili cities, for example, the ancient center of Mombasa, which contributed significantly to this country's culinary and musical heritage. Inland is renowned for its tea plantations, which were a significant source of revenue during the British colonial era, and its wide range of animal species, including lions, elephants, cheetahs, rhinoceros, and hippocampi. Forests occupy most of the western provinces of Kenya, with lakes and rivers, while the desert and semi-desert constitute a small portion of the nation's northern provinces. A Historical and Cultural Overview of Kenya
In 1963 Kenya became independent under a constitution that made the Prime Minister a chief of staff chosen by the National Bicameral Assembly. On 12 December 1963, the nation achieved independence. Power has been devolved to the elected assemblies in each nation area, and elections have been accessible to candidates from various political parties. Some constitutional amendments subsequently abolished regional meetings in favor of provincial committees appointed by the national governments, made the National Assembly the unicameral body, declared the Kenyan African National Union (KANU) the only legal political party. The city offers film theatres for adults and numerous nightclubs where tourists may dance or play a pool; there are water parks and family amusement centers for young people to select from. Climate of Kenya
In the Western Indian Ocean and its adjacent areas, weather patterns are controlled by large-scale pressure systems circulating over oceans and landmasses. From December to March, northeasterly winds predominate to the north of the Equator, while southeasterly winds dominate to the south. These months are generally dry, although, in isolated places, rain may occur. The rainy season runs from early March to early May, with air flowing from east to west throughout this period. There is minimum precipitation in June to August, and southwest winds prevail north of Equator while south-east winds predominate south of it. Economy of Kenya
Since Kenya became independent in 1963, the economy has comprised both private and state-owned companies. The majority of the businesses in the country are private businesses (with a large amount of foreign investment), but the Government has a role in shaping the economic growth of the country through a range of regulatory powers and "parastatals," or undertakings owned in whole or in part by the Government. Tourism in Kenya
The nation draws large numbers of visitors from Europe and North America because of its diverse fauna and panoramic scenery, and tourism contributes to the country's economy.
