Kenya

Start with location and key terms

Begin with Kenya Test to check what you know about Kenya's location. Its questions ask about a line of latitude and countries to the north, south and west. Use your answers to decide which location questions you want to look at again.

Next, open the flashcard deck on Kenya definitions. It includes terms such as standard of living, safari, volcanic activity, the Rift Valley and shanty settlements. Go through the cards and try explaining each term in your own words before checking it.

Explore the mind maps

The mind map titled Kenya covers physical features, climate, population, migration factors and life in Kibera, Nairobi. It also includes the Maasai and the impact of tourism. Use its branches to see which topics you can already describe and which ones need more attention.

Other maps titled Kenya cover governance, the economy, resources and people, or topics including Kibera, the Rift Valley and tourism. Kenya's Geography Links brings physical and human geography together, including relief, rainfall and cropland. Compare the maps to see how their coverage differs.

Connect the resources

After looking at the maps, return to Kenya Test and try the location questions again. You can also use the flashcards alongside a map: choose a term from the cards and find a related topic in a map. The flowchart Rural To Urban Migration offers another way to follow a topic, from Kenya's location to movement toward Nairobi and settlement there.

Kenya is a section of the Africa unit in Geography. Use this collection to focus on Kenya within that unit, choosing the format that fits the topic you are studying. Try a map and follow it with the flowchart.
