As a result of its precious wildlife, rich culture, the possibility of seeing the sunrise from the top of Kilimanjaro, reputable universities, and so on, Kenya is a place you would be tempted to visit and if care is not taken, may not dream of returning to the home country. This is why you should consider studying in Kenya.
