Outline of Kenya

The capital city is Nairobi, 2nd largest in Africa (after Cairo).

The population has grown rapidly in recent decades to roughly 38 million.

Kenya has numerous wildlife reserves, containing thousands of animal species.

The country is named after Mount Kenya, a significant landmark and the second among the highest mountain peaks of Africa,[1][2] and both were originally usually pronounced /ˈkiːnjə/[3] in English, though the native pronunciation and the one intended by the original transcription Kenia was [ˈkɛnja].

[5] Before 1920, the area now known as Kenya was known as the British East Africa Protectorate and so there was no need to mention mount when referring to the mountain.
