Kenya --Geography
Located on the eastern part of the African continent, Kenya is bordered by Tanzania in the southwest and Indian Ocean in the southeast. Sudan and Ethiopia lie to the north and Uganda to the west, while Somalia lies to the east of the geographical location of Kenya.
Lake Victoria also lies to the west of Kenya. The geographical coordinates of the country are Latitude 4� North to 4� South and Longitude 34� East to 41� East.
The country stretches from the snow-capped mountains in the north to the sea in the east. The terrain gradually changes from the low-lying coastal plains to the Kenyan highlands. Coastal Kenya is a highly fertile low-lying area. One can find a coral reef over here also. There is a dry coastal plain covered by thorny bushes and savanna over here. Mount Kenyais the highest point of the country and is 5,199 meters high. Mount Elgon and Mount Kilimanjaro are the other mountain ranges in Kenya.
Kenya -- Demography
The population of Kenya is estimated at 28,337,071 (July 1998) [1] The Kenyan government conducts a full census every ten years. The first official census since independence was conducted in April 1969. It put the nation's population at 10,942,705. When the next census was undertaken in August 1979, the figure had risen to 15,327,061 (allowing for an estimated under-enumeration of 5%). According to 1989 official estimates, the total population had climbed to 21.4 million, a figure that yields an annual growth rate of 3.3%, down from 4.1% ten years earlier. The UN has estimated Kenya's population in mid-1996 at 31.8m, and the World Bank has forecast the nation's average demographic growth in 1993-2000 at 2.5%. In recent years, the average family size has decreased from 6.7 children per woman in 1989 to 5.4 in 1993, according to a report by the Ministry of Training, Technology and Research. An important factor in this decline is an increase in the number of deaths due to AIDS.
