      • Most visitors to Kenya fly into Nairobi - the largest city and in the central highland volcanic area. During the time when iit was very active, 2 cracks developed creating rift valley that runs N to S. Quakes and eruptions are now rare but the volcanoes can still be seen. Tallest = Mt. Kenya - 5,889 meters. It is foresty and green near the coast. The N and E is desert.

        Annotations:

        • Unevenly spread due to migration and physical conditions. There is a high rural-to-urban migration rate. Many of the Masai move to the city. However this can cause a bad effect see "Maasai" for more info.
        • In the SE close to the coast of the Indian Ocean, the population is 3-6 people per sq km. It is very sparsely populated.
        • In the NE, close to Ethiopia and Somalia, the population is under 1 person per sq km. It is practically empty!
        • In the S, close to the border with Tanzania, the population is much higher 50+. It has a much denser population.
