The African continent is huge, 54 countries make up this diverse continent. It would take a very long time to truly experience each country in Africa but it can be done. Where's a good place to begin your African journey? Why not KENYA?
Bordering the Indian Ocean coastline, this East Africa country encompasses lakelands, mountain highlands, savannah, and the Great Rift Valley. In Kenya you can observe a lot of wildlife; cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, lions, rhinos, and zebra are a few of the exotic animals that make Kenya home.
Nairobi is Kenya's capital. Referred to as the Green City in the sun, this city has sprawling buildings,a lively music scene, plenty of markets and shops, and it's good starting point for a famous tour of a safari. An African safari can cost anywhere from $125.00 to $1.500 per person per night. There are safaris to suit every budget and Kenya is often one of the more popular countries in Africa to visit.

GIRAFFE FACTS:
Giraffes are the tallest mammals on earth. Their legs measure at about 6 feet. They spend most of their life standing up. They sleep standing up and even give birth standing up. Giraffes only need 5 to 30 minutes of sleep in a 24 hour period.
Giraffes drink water every few days. Because a giraffes neck is too short to reach the ground, giraffes need to kneel to reach the ground for a drink of water. Giraffes get their source of water from all the plants they eat.
Giraffes can run up to 35 miles an hour over short distances. Giraffes are not silent, they do make flute like sounds and hiss and snort but their sounds cannot be heard by human hearing.
KENYA IS CALLING!
