IntroductionA country smaller than the state of Texas, the landscape combines the Great Rift Valley littered with alkaline lakes, 500 kilometers of coral reef fringed by the most beautiful talcum-soft white sandy beaches, tropical rainforests, snow-covered Mount Kenya on the Equator line, lush agricultural fields, savanna grasslands, and the world's second largest freshwater lake. Kenya is one of only a handful of countries in Africa having the greatest wildlife diversity in the world including all the Big Five game -- Lion, Leopard, Rhino, Elephant and Cape Buffalo. In addition, Kenya is home to the United Nations Environmental Program's world headquarters, center for humanitarian relief operations and guardian to three world heritage sites: Central Island (Turkana), Sibiloi National Park / Koobi Fora (L. Turkana) and Mount Kenya.
