When most people think of Kenya, they picture magnificent elephants and fierce lions roaming the savannas. Kenya’s wildlife is certainly amazing, but there’s so much more to this nation. It is a land as complex and diverse as its people, representing over 70 different ethnic groups and cultures. Leading archaeologists and paleontologists even believe that human life likely began in this region! Climb the peak of the extinct volcano known as Mount Kenya, visit the world’s only National Park to border on a major city, and sample a stunning spectrum of Kenyan flavors.
There are so many fascinating people to meet on the pages of this issue. Encounter some of the world’s most elite athletes who call Kenya home. Get to know Wangari Maathai, the first African woman to earn the Nobel Peace Prize, and discover her dedication to planting trees. Plus, get an up-close view of the many amazing animals that live in Kenya! Complete with creative crafts and cool recipes, this issue of FACES is the closest thing to being there!
