Hakuna matata

Some facts about the country we are going to:
  • Jambo is Hello in Swahili which is the language spoken in Kenya.
  • Kenya was a British colony from 1895 to 1963.
  • The area of Kenya is 582,646 sq klm.
  • The population of Kenya is 29.4 million.
  • About 97 per cent of Kenya's people are Africans
  • The top fifth of the people in Kenya earn 20 times more money than the bottom fifth people in Kenya.
  • 30 per cent of people in Kenya can now read and write.
  • Asante means goodbye in Swahili.

Hakuna Matata is Swahili too. Probably the most important words we will be using during our stay...
