Discover Kenya with TravelPapa Guides!
Kenya is a country in the Eastern Africa straight on the coast of the Indian Ocean, which is considered one of the most actively developing countries of this area and has a population of about 45 million people.
There are two official languages in Kenya: Kiswahili and English. Anyway, all the various ethnic groups usually speak their own native languages within their communities and the official languages are often used in order to communicate with other populations. The English language is also widely spread in schools, trading areas and some government institutions. In general, there are approximately 69 languages that are spoken around Kenya.
Nairobi is the capital of the country, which at the same time is considered a regional commercial center. The service industry, tourism and agriculture are the main developing sectors and the “economic drivers” of Kenya, which used to export tea and coffee to the other countries and which not long ago begun exporting fresh flowers straight to Europe.
The interesting fact about Kenya is that it has no certain culture, which could identify it. It consists of various customs and traditions, taken from the different cultures of the country’s multiple communities. So, among the most popular populations of Kenya are the Swahili, some of the Bantu communities and, of course, the Maasai culture, which is rather well-known to tourists.
The wildlife of the country is very diverse and annually attracts lots of tourists here to admire the lion prides, the swimming hippos, gorgeous pink flamingos and many other Kenya’s fauna representatives. For about 15 years already, the large territory of Kenya is considered the national park, so, nowadays, any kind of hunting here is strictly forbidden.
