It has a total area of approximately 580,367 square kilometers (224,081 sq mi). The country’s terrain ranges from tropical coastlines along the Indian Ocean to mountainous regions in the west and savannas in the east.
Kenya has a tropical climate with two main seasons: rainy and dry. The rainy season typically runs from March to May and October to December, while the dry season is from June to September and January to February. The coastal areas are generally warm and humid year-round.
Public toilets in Kenya can be found in major cities, towns, and tourist areas. However, they may not always be clean or well-maintained. It’s essential for travelers to use licensed public toilets, which can usually be identified by a sign bearing the words “Public Toilet” in English.
Private toilets are commonly available at hotels, lodges, and restaurants. These facilities are often cleaner and more comfortable than public toilets. Travelers staying in budget accommodations may need to use shared or squat toilets.
In Kenya, it’s customary for men to urinate in the open while women typically seek out a private toilet. When visiting a local home or village, it’s considered polite to ask permission before using their toilet facilities. Travelers should also be mindful of cultural norms surrounding hygiene and cleanliness.
