Kenya is located in East Africa, bordered by Tanzania to the south, Uganda to the west, South Sudan to the northwest, Ethiopia to the north, Somalia to the east, and the Indian Ocean to the southeast.
Its landscapes range from open savannahs and mountain highlands to tropical coastlines and desert regions.

The highest peak in the impressively mountainous 26,338 square km nation is Karisimbi (4,507m). This is part of the volcanic Virunga chain and is protected by Volcanoes National Park (Parc des Volcans). Lake Kivu is the largest water body.
The historical legacy, climate, geography, and populace of Rwanda are what have shaped the nation into what it is today. In 1884, the Germans colonised it, and during the First World War, it was governed by the Belgians.

Unexpectedly, Rwanda has a climate that is more comparable to that of Germany than other African nations. In the centre of the nation is Kigali, the nation’s capital and largest city.
