Kenya is located in East Africa. Its population is 32 million; its land area 225,000 square miles (about the size of France).
Man probably originates from Kenya or its surrounding areas. Fossils suggest that protohumans existed in the area more than 20 million years ago. Recent discoveries near Kenya's Lake Turkana show that hominids such as Homo habilis and Homo erectus lived in Kenya 2.6 million years ago.
During the first half of the 20th century, Kenya's interior central highlands were settled by British and other European farmers, who became rich farming coffee.

"The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page", St. Augustine said. Here at www.travel-university.org we believe that every page must be read and explored. Travel is an avenue of learning that no text or classroom can teach. The world is a living classroom and you the student. We invite you to the www.travel-university.org library where you can read general interest and detail oriented articles.
