I heard that I went to Kenya, Africa. Many people are very curious about Africa and asked a lot of questions. Today I will talk about things that you cannot know before you arrived in Africa. It is also several misunderstandings that are prone to occur in your understanding of Africa.
Before coming, my colleague told me to bring a few short-sleeved and jackets. I also thought Africa must be very hot, so I only brought summer clothes, but it turned out to be sad. Our camp is located in the Kenya Eastern Rift Province, which is located above the East African Plateau . East African Rift looks north and south, and the rift is 1,000 meters deep. We are located in the upper part of rift , with an altitude of more than 2,100 meters. The climate is very cool. The minimum temperature during the rainy season is 8-10℃, which is still very cold. I used to hear that down jackets were sold to Africa, and I thought it was a joke. It turned out to be true. You can really wear down jackets in cold weather. I couldn’t imagine that this was in Africa.

I thought Africans must have never seen snow before, so when I first came, I often showed local black people videos of snow playing with snow on my hometown on my phone, and I thought they must be surprised. It turns out that it was not what I thought, because it would snow in Kenya. Isn't it very strange? It will also snow in Africa [cover your face] [cover your face]? Yes, you heard it right, it's true. , Kenya, is located in Kenya, with an altitude of 5,199 meters. It is the second highest peak in Africa and is covered with snow all year round.

When it comes to Africans, the first reaction they are to black people, and I thought so. Kenya is a multi-tribal country. It turns out that in Kenya, in addition to blacks, there are also brown Indians and Pakistanis and Arabs and . Indians are listed as the 44th tribe in Kenya, and they are relatively wealthy.

When it comes to Kenya, the most impressive thing may be the great migration of animals and the scenery of tropical savannas. In fact, in Kenya, only the southwestern Masai Mara is a tropical savanna, with large animals such as lions, elephants, zebras, giraffes and other large animals. The classic scene of animal migration will be performed from July to August every year, and most of them are in the next door Tanzania , and at other times it is a semi-arid grassland. The north and the east are arid desert semi-desert areas, sparsely populated and poor. Most of the other western regions are plateau mountainous areas, with many primeval forests, suitable climate, and are the main population clusters. Kenya's capital Nairobi , Kisumu, Nakuru, Edoret and other major cities are located in the west.
