Kenya also has a plateau that rises 9,000 feet about the ground in the middle of the country. The Rift Valley is just above Nairobi in the north.

As a colonial breakdown, Kikuyu, Luhya, Luo, Kalenjin, Kamba, Kisii and Meru make up all ethnic groups in Kenya. Religious status includes Indigenous, Protestant, Roman Catholic and Muslim. Different languages were spoken with 40 being local. Life was short, however, expecting to live only 49 years. You have to get everything done quickly before your time.
