Rift valley

The rift valley runs north to south in Kenya.

(Click on the photos - some have larger images. All photos and commentary apply to 1984-86 time period.)

Old road

The new highway bypasses this more picturesque decent down into the rift.

Vistas

Kenya has both forested areas and wide planes, mountains and flat lands.
