Some of the rarest wildlife in the world lives in Kenya. The country’s animals include elephants, rhinoceroses, lions, leopards, giraffes, wildebeests, zebras, impalas, hyenas, hippos, and crocodiles. Many national parks and game reserves protect the wildlife.

The most common religion is Christianity. Smaller groups of people follow Islam or traditional African religions.

Most Kenyans live in rural areas, but cities have grown rapidly since the early 1970s. Nairobi is the largest city.
