Kenya Satellite Map

Kenya occupies an area of 580,367 square kilometers (224,081 sq mi), which makes it almost identical in size to Botswana. Its most recognized lake is Lake Victoria, which forms a border with both Uganda and Tanzania. Several geographic features distinguish key regions in Kenya.

First, the Great Rift Valley cuts through Kenya in a north-south direction, forming the Cherangani Hills and a chain of active volcanoes. Secondly, the Serengeti Plains in the southwest consists of treeless grassland, which also occupies the north of Tanzania. Finally, the Chalbi Desert is a small desert located in the north near Ethiopia.
