Coast province also known as Pwani in Swahili is the place known by many Kenyans as the land to let go and have fun once in a year, for some it’s the perfect holiday getaway. It has many amazing hotels some with sandy beaches and others just five minutes away. This is the place where fun is guaranteed. It’s located along the Indian Ocean and it was one of Kenya’s provinces. The area was inhabited by Mijikenda and Swahili but with time that changed and other people started occupying the area especially because it was a tourist attraction.
Mombasa County
The coast holds the second largest city in Kenya, Mombasa. The city is identified by the Mombasa Tusks built in 1952 to commemorate the visit of Queen Elizabeth. Mombasa holds the coastal administration and it is separated from the mainland by two creeks; The Tudor on the west and Kilindani Harbor on the south. If you have an aerial view of the island it’s a beautiful scene and the separation is so distinct. The island is connected to the mainland by the Nyali bridge to the North, the South by Likoni Ferry and to west by the Makupa Causeway. Taking the Likoni ferry is one short distance but full of life both under the ferry and around the ferry. You get to see the ocean and feel the hot humid breeze as you cross to the mainland.
North Coast

There was a great question asked by numerous individuals in the eighteenth century with what happens to people’s lives when their country is a colony of another country. This was very important to Americans when they were being ruled by Great Britain, and even to this day it remains important when countries find themselves controlled by more powerful outsiders. But what is colonialism? Colonialism occurs when one nation takes control of another. Kenya’s experience as a colony of Great Britain gives us more of an idea of what being colonized meant both to the people being controlled and to those who control them. Although it seems hard to believe, Kenya was created by the Europeans and generally this had a positive on effect on Kenyans because it began development.

During the time period 1850-1914, even though Britain imperializing, Kenya was, in turn, very beneficial for the inhabitants of Kenya. However, the direct rule of Britain put Kenya through a massive transition from being independent to being colonial dominant, in which the natives of Kenya had lesser rights than did before and were treated inhumanely. Before being imperialized, Kenya was already divided into forty-two tribes. The two main kinfolks to be known are the Masai and the Kikuyu. These tribes helped in making the country's diversity, rich culture and heritage. Nonetheless, Kenya didn’t have much global contact; however, they did trade with the Arab merchants but kept it limited because they wanted to preserve their traditional
The first settler and permeant occupant went by the name John Van Vlack and when he purchased 69 acres of land near the Nottawasaga River and started to turn the land into a better living environment. Unlike some plots, this sand sore was unattractive because of the sandy soil so John Van Vlack took that challenge and ran with it. He became a commercial fisherman, opened up a little convenient store and was the first postman in this settlement of his. That was in 1870 but in the 1820’s a man by the name of Jon Goessman started selling parts of the land for four shillings an acre. The land was unsuitable for farming but it did have a perk because Wasaga beach was full of lushes green trees and was the start of the logging industry that will
The sources of cultural misunderstanding made by the anthropologists in the readings from Spradley and McCurdy are affected by many factors including naive realism, culture shock and fully understanding what is culturally and ethically appropriate. Naive realism is the belief that people see the world in the same way, and culture shock is a condition of confusion and feelings of loneliness and anxiety experienced by someone suddenly entering a new culture. "Eating Christmas in the Kalahari" by Richard Lee is a perfect example of naive realism. Lee thought that Christmas would be seen throughout the world in a similar manner. As Lee stated, individual who celebrate this holiday feel "Christmas is supposed to be the day of
From what my mom told from her time in Kenya. She stayed on a base located in Nairboi and went out several times on safari to visit multiple villages. She described the people “as vibrant as you can imagine” and “the highest spirited people with lots of faith”. She also told me in certain areas they have very specific traditions. For example, the Kenyan people love to dance, their dancing style is known as “benga”. The food has a wide range of ethnic diversity. My mom tried a plate called “irio” which is basically made up of green peas and potatoes. These ingredients are boiled together after which corn is added to give the meal texture and is usually served with beef stew. One thing Kenyan people cherish above al is family and friendship. Kenyan families tend to be on the larger side including many members of the extended family. Even when times are tough Kenyan families usually welcome guests as if they were family. However, the guest is expected to help with the daily chores just as the family does. The Kenyan people are made up of different tribes. Each tribe has strong tribal beliefs for instance it is easy to distinguish one tribe from another by the way they dress. For example the Samburu tribe, the tribe my mom visited, wore traditional clothing of bright red material that is wrapped around like a toga. The women as well as the men accessorize their toga with beaded necklaces, bracelets
Many people like travelling to new places. This is the reason people normally save enough money so that they can travel and have fun once in a while. You will discover that the most appropriate time for travelling is during the holidays. During the last holiday, I happened to visit Nairobi National Park in Nairobi. Ron Virmani is one of my good friends whom I treasure so much. He actually suggested the place for me because he has ever visited the place in the past. I had other alternatives but he recommended that I try visiting Nairobi National Park. I trusted him and that is the reason I did not hesitate. My experience in Nairobi National Park will always linger in my mind. Ron Virmani truly choose a good destination for me.
Kenya is situated right along the equator, on the eastern coast of Africa. Its coastal region is southeast, and to the east lays Somalia. Ethiopia is to the north, the Sudan to the northwest, and Uganda directly to the west. The southwestern border of the country is marked by Lake Victoria, and southward lays Tanzania.
Kenya is also the preferred entry point for companies wishing to expand further in the region. Moreover, East Africa’s largest economy is one of the most innovative on the African continent, which bodes well for future economic development.
