A bit about Kenya...

On the east coast of Africa, Kenya is a favorite place for safaris and the setting for "Survivor Kenya," the third in the Survivor series.

Kenya is home to the equator and Mount Kenya, which is covered with snow. Snow, at the Equator!

Ethnic divisions account for many of Kenya's problems. During the early 1990s, tribal clashes killed thousands and left tens of thousands homeless.
