Best Answer

Kenya is also known:

  • tribal warfare (sad, but what do you expect when there are tribes with rivalries that have continued for over a century?)
  • mountains (such as Mt. Kenya, Mt. Elgon, Mt. Longonot, Mount Suswa)
  • The Great Rift Valley
  • The coastal beaches
  • The Great Wildebeest migration (7th Wonder of the world)
  • Roast Goat (Roast meats are called 'Nyama Choma' in Swahili)
  • Lovely people
  • face painting
  • people jumping up and down with spears (Refers to the traditional cultural dance of the male warriors in the Maasai tribe which is part of the 42 indigenous tribes on Kenya)
  • dancing round fires (Not really dancing based on cultural roots. We just love our bonfires, who doesn't?)
  • Great food such as Pilau, chapati, samosa, biryani, mukimo, ugali, kachumbari, nyama choma (Google either of them)
  • Lion King ( 'Hakuna Matata'? this is Swahili for 'No Worries')

at a guess, the tribes that live there, the wide open plains and the big five which can be found there, such as giraffes, lions, cheetahs, elephants and rhino's.
