It has a coastline to the</p><p>east with the Indian Ocean. It is neighbours with Uganda, South Sudan,</p><p>Somalia, Ethiopia and Tanzania. Kenya is similar to the size of France.</p><p>Key Facts</p><p>The population of Kenya is about 55 million people. This is roughly the</p><p>same as the population of England. The capital city is Nairobi, which is</p><p>the fourteenth largest city in Africa. It is the only city in the world to have</p><p>a wildlife park near its centre. Many people in Kenya speak Swahili and</p><p>English but over 60 different languages are spoken across the country in</p><p>total. Telling stories, music and poetry are very important parts of Kenyan</p><p>culture and used to pass on history to younger generations.</p><p>What Animals Live In Kenya?</p><p>Kenya is famous for the ‘Big Five’.

They are called the ‘Big Five’ because in</p><p>the past hunters believed they were the most difficult animals to find</p><p>and shoot. Every year, millions of animals, such as wildebeest and</p><p>zebras, migrate through Kenya. This means they travel large distances</p><p>to find food and water. Many tourists visit Africa to watch these</p><p>spectacular migrations.</p><p>Did You Know...?</p><p>Some scientists believe that human beings first came from Kenya but</p><p>other scientists think they came from other parts of Africa.</p><p>EquatorEquator KenyaKenya</p><p>visit twinkl.comPage 1 of 2</p><p>https://www.twinkl.co.uk/resources/reading/reading-comprehension-worksheets/reading-comprehension-worksheets-around-the-world</p><p>Kenya</p><p>What is the Weather Like in Kenya?</p><p>Kenya has a tropical climate.
