ABOUT KENYA
The plant life of Kenya is diversified. Along the coast are forests containing
palm, mangrove, teak, copal, and sandalwood trees. Forests of baobab,
euphorbia and acacia trees cover the lowlands to an elevation of approximately
915 m (approximately 3000 ft). Extensive tracts of savanna, interspersed
with groves of acacia and papyrus, characterize the terrain from about
915 to 2745 m (about 3000 to 9000 ft). The principal species in the dense
rain forest of the eastern and southeastern mountain slopes are camphor
and bamboo. The alpine zone (above about 3350 m/11,000 ft) contains large
senecios and lobelias.
In the early 1990s Kenya attracted about 680,000 visitors annually, yielding
revenue of more than $209 million. Tourists primarily visit Kenya's national
parks and game reserves to see and photograph the wildlife; many also
enjoy the beaches along the Indian Ocean coastline. Tsavo National Park
and Marsabit National Reserve are two of the country's largest parks.
ABOUT UGANDA
Uganda has a wide variety of plant life, from the mvuli tree and elephant
grass of the Uganda plateau to the dry thorn scrub, acacia, and euphorbia
of the southwest. The country also provides a habitat for many animals,
some of which are protected in national parks. The chimpanzee inhabits
the rain forests, and species of antelope (including the eland and hartebeest),
and the elephant, rhinoceros, lion and leopard, are found in the grasslands.
ABOUT TANZANIA
Diamonds are by far the most important of the minerals currently being
exploited in Tanzania. Large deposits of coal and iron ore are known to
exist in the southern region. Forestland constitutes one of the most substantial
natural resources of the country. Among the many hardwoods found are mahogany
and camphorwood. The country abounds in wildlife, including antelope,
zebra, elephant, hippopotamus, rhinoceros, giraffe, lion, leopard, cheetah,
and monkey.
