Kenya

Kenya is a country located in the equatorial central coastal region of the continent of Africa. Its capital city is Nairobi. It is bordered by Tanzania to the south and south-west, Uganda to the west, South Sudan to the north-west, Ethiopia to the north and Somalia to the north-east.

In the Jurassic Park mythos, industrialist John Hammond apparently built an amusement park in Kenya. Once, while describing his achievements with his new dinosaur-themed attraction, he said that "It makes the one I got in Kenya look like a petting zoo".

In the Marvel Universe, a woman named N'Dare was the princess of a tribe from Kenya. She married an American photojournalist named David Munroe and gave birth to a mutant girl named Ororo Munroe. They were living in the United States when Ororo was born, but moved back to Africa where they began living in Cairo, Egypt.

When Ororo was twelve-years-old, she trekked across Kenya to Ethiopa. It was during this time that she first met a Wakandan boy named T'Challa.

The Russian big game hunter Sergei Kravinoff often led hunting expeditions in Kenya.
