FACES Magazine March-April 2025. This East African nation is known for its wildlife, its beautiful national parks, and its world-class runners! Can you guess what it is? It’s Kenya! Take a trip to this one-of-a-kind country with FACES Magazine!
When most people think of Kenya, they picture magnificent elephants and fierce lions roaming the savannas. Kenya’s wildlife is certainly amazing, but there’s so much more to this nation. It is a land as complex and diverse as its people, representing over 70 different ethnic groups and cultures. Leading archaeologists and paleontologists even believe that human life likely began in this region! Climb the peak of the extinct volcano known as Mount Kenya, visit the world’s only National Park to border on a major city, and sample a stunning spectrum of Kenyan flavors.
There are so many fascinating people to meet on the pages of this issue. Encounter some of the world’s most elite athletes who call Kenya home. Get to know Wangari Maathai, the first African woman to earn the Nobel Peace Prize, and discover her dedication to planting trees.
