How to spot Kenya from satellite imagery
Kenya covers 580,000 square kilometres on the eastern equatorial coast of Africa, with the Indian Ocean to the southeast, Lake Victoria touching its western border, and the Great Rift Valley cutting through the middle of the country from north to south. The country contains some of the most iconic African landscapes — the savannas of the Maasai Mara, the snow-capped Mount Kenya straddling the equator, the alkaline lakes of the Rift Valley, the dense Aberdare and Mau forests, and the long sandy coast along the Indian Ocean.
For geography games, Kenya is one of the more rewarding African countries to learn because of the strength of its aerial signatures and the frequency with which it appears. This guide walks through the cues that lock Kenya in and tell you where in the country you have landed.
