ABOUT

This blog describes my adventures in Africa. In 2018, this will be my 4th trip to Africa. I traveled to Rwanda in March 2016, and Kenya and Tanzania in the Spring, 2015, and Kenya in 2010. On our journey, we'll be visiting schools, centers for people with disabilities, making friends, looking for animals and finding adventure wherever we go. Wahoo!!!!

Kenya Facts, Seasons, And Other Things I've Learned About Kenya

Did you know that the world's 47th largest country is Kenya, and it is about as big as Texas?  My Aunt Mara lives in Texas, so it's kind of like she lives in Kenya, but not really.

The population of Kenya is about 44 million people, the population in the Unites States is about 318.9 million, the population of Texas is only 26.96 million.  That means WAY more people are in Kenya than Texas.  
This is the Kenyan flag. Isn't it cool - I like the design.  

In Kenya, there are only 2 seasons, wet and dry.  This is way too bad because we are going there in the rainy season, called the monsoon.  But there is also a dry season.  At least it's still warm.  Here's a picture of the monsoon.  I hope we don't get caught in this... but if we do, we can go swimming!!!!!!
 
This is the Chalbi Desert in Northern Kenya - we are going here.  Hopefully it does not rain here.  I might find a lion or a tiger here - hopefully we do!!! That would be really cool. Do you see a lion or tiger in the picture?
Ok i'm done for now. Have a good day!! Goodbye in Swahili is kwaheri, so "kwaheri!!"

    I love all your cool facts about Kenya, Finn! Since they are so similar in size, maybe after you visit Kenya you can come visit Texas and compare the two. It sounds like the animals are MUCH cooler in Kenya, though Uncle Tex may disagree with me. :)

    Hi Finn!
    I will be reading and sharing your blog with our reading group. I have always been fascinated with Africa and am very jealous that you get to go. Again!
