The Republic of Kenya is a country in East Africa. Lying along the Indian Ocean, at the equator, Kenya is bordered by Ethiopia (north), Somalia (northeast), Tanzania (south), Uganda plus Lake Victoria (west), and Sudan (northwest). The capital city is Nairobi. The population has grown rapidly in recent decades to nearly 38 million. Kenya has numerous wildlife reserves, containing thousands of animal species. The country is named after Mount Kenya, a significant landmark and the second among the highest mountain peaks of Africa, and both were originally usually pronounced /ˈkiːnjə/ in English, though the native pronunciation and the one intended by the original transcription Kenia was. During the presidency of Jomo Kenyatta in the 1960s, the current English pronunciation of /ˈkɛnjə/ became widespread because his name retained the native pronunciation. Before 1920, the area now known as Kenya was known as the British East Africa Protectorate and so there was no need to mention mount when referring to the mountain. ( source Wikipedia )

Date: 11th April, 2013 Location: Maasai Mara (Kenya) Wild cheetahs jumped onto our jeep and hissed at us a few times. Hissing at 1:47, 1:49, 2:20 and 3:22. Upon realizing these weren't the same exact semi-tame cheetahs we saw the day prior, the driver told us all to move quietly to the front while he tried to scare the cheetahs off by moving the vehicle a few feet. Yes, that's me jokingly trying to lick the cheetah's tail (4:33 & 4:36) after it touched my head (4:19).

Please visit www.simonreeve.co.uk for more information. For most people the equator is just an imaginary line running 25,000-miles around the globe. But the countries along the equator are among the most troubled on the planet. In this series Simon Reeve takes a journey around the region with the greatest natural biodiversity and perhaps the greatest concentration of human suffering: the equator. Simon meets illegal loggers, father and son circumcisers, drunk villagers, and a young woman stuck in the baking desert. He is protected by soldiers in a coca field, and UN 'peace-enforcers' in a gold mine. Blackmailed and abandoned by drivers in one country, Simon travels through another that has just 300 miles of paved roads -- despite being the size of Western Europe. Simon is drenched while white-water rafting, surrounded by a million flamingoes and swallowed by a tidal wave. After being warned about the deadly virus Ebola, he vomits blood and develops a temperature of nearly 40C. Diagnosed with malaria, he's saved by medicine derived from the Vietnamese sweet wormwood. One remote tribe takes Simon to their sacred monument, while a man from another tribe of former head-hunters decides to make Simon part of the family: Simon is blessed with blood, presented with a short sword, and adopted. Elsewhere, Simon discovers a matrilineal society where daughters are called 'iron butterflies', mass graves in the jungle, and islands where protesting fisherman have killed giant tortoises. He helps an orphaned orangutan into a tree, swims with sea-lions, fishes for piranha, climbs the equivalent of half-way up Everest, and discovers the city thought to be most at risk from volcanic eruptions. Simon's trip takes him through the nation suffering the worst humanitarian crisis in the Western hemisphere, and the African country that's endured the most violent conflict on the planet since the Second World War. ------------------------------------ Reviews of the series: Radio Times: "an extraordinary journey...revelatory...thrilling and thought-provoking...hits us with jaw-dropping facts...eye-opening...delivers a string of revealing snapshots." The Sunday Times: "Equator is presented exactly as it should be, with ingenuousness and, at times, incredulity. It showed me stuff I hadn't previously known or imagined, and did so without condescending, excusing or lecturing. You cannot expect much more from a documentary, frankly." TV Times: "fascinating...a real eye-opener" Daily Mail: "Unmissable...spectacular and thought-provoking. The outlook in many of the countries Reeve passes through may be grim, but Equator somehow manages to be great entertainment. Mail on Sunday: "Travel reportage at it's most enthralling. Reeve effortlessly blends political reportage with humour...this travelogue is wholly accessible." ***** (five stars) The Observer: "excellent...Reeve is charming, light-hearted and funny, with a good sense of the ridiculous" ------------------------------------ SIMON REEVE is an adventurer, TV presenter and New York Times bestselling author with a passion for travel, current affairs, history, conservation and the environment. He has been around the world three times for the BBC series Equator, Tropic of Capricorn, and Tropic of Cancer, and has travelled extensively in more than 100 countries. Simon's last journey around the Tropic of Cancer enthralled millions and was described by The Times of London as: "a real gem...Reeve is in a class of his own". Readers of a leading travel magazine voted it their favourite TV series. Simon, who is an ambassador for the nature conservation organisation WWF, has been awarded a One World Broadcasting Trust award for an "outstanding contribution to greater world understanding". His books include Tropic of Capricorn (published by BBC Books), and The New Jackals: Ramzi Yousef, Osama bin Laden and the future of terrorism, which warned of a new age of apocalyptic terrorism, and was the first in the world on bin Laden and al Qaeda. Originally published in 1998 it has been a New York Times bestseller. Simon has contributed to other studies into organised crime, terrorism, biological warfare and corruption. His book One Day in September: the story of the 1972 Munich Olympics massacre was published in 2000. The film of the same name, narrated by the actor Michael Douglas, won an Oscar for best feature documentary. ------------------------------------ You can find out more information on Simon's journeys, and see more of Simon's films, at his website: www.simonreeve.co.uk or at www.youtube.com/shootandscribble Thanks for watching!

(EN) Naivasha is a market town in Rift Valley Province, Kenya, lying north west of Nairobi. It is located on the shore of Lake Naivasha and along the Nairobi - Nakuru highway and Uganda Railway. Naivasha is part of the Nakuru District. The town has an urban population of 14,563 (1999 census). The main industry is agriculture, especially floriculture. Naivasha is also a popular tourist destination. Hell's Gate National Park, Longonot National Park and Mount Longonot are nearby attractions. Tours also have included Lake Naivasha, to observe birdlife and hippopotamus behavior, [2] as well as other wild animals. In the late 1970s-1980s Lake Naivasha was overrun with poachers and foreign creatures introduced into the lake to provide fishing.[citation needed] The migratory paths along lake Naivasha were being destroyed by the local rose industry.[citation needed] Naturalist, Joan Root, spent the last decade of her life trying to save the lake and its wildlife. A resort in Naivasha was the location for much of the negotiations of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement ending the Second Sudanese Civil War, commonly known as the "Naivasha Agreement".

Please help us win a round trip ticket around the world by LIKEing our video on youtube! In this past year, we travelled to four different countries and found destinations we never knew existed. During that time, we slept in huts, hostels, on couches, and on dirt. We fell in love without language while falling in love with language. And in the end, we've seen more than we remember, and remember more than we've seen. Oh, and we've made a few friends along the way also. We want our video to be about more than just the contest - we want to show how "in harmony" the entire world is. There's a journey in every word, action, and song of the people. We haven't found a final resting spot yet nor do we plan to. Please share and like so we can continue our journey :) Videos by Kent and Meir Directing, editing by Kent Yoshimura Music by Meir Chodakiewitz AKA Moonyham

In Northern Kenya the illegal act of killing elephants for their tusks is on the rise because of big demand for ivory products in Asia.

Fraudsters in Ghana show us how they use internet scams to steal thousands of dollars from unsuspecting victims all over the globe. -- While Nigeria's 401 scammers may have written the book on West African internet fraud, their shtick looks like Compuserve compared to what's going on in Ghana. Unsatisfied with the meager winnings from emailing thousands of random Westerners in hopes of convincing one poor sap they're the treasurer of the Ivory Coast, Ghana's scammers decided to stack the odds in their favor the old-fashioned way—witchcraft. Taking a page from cyberpunk, traditional West African Juju priests adapted their services to the needs of the information age and started leading down-on-their-luck internet scammers through strange and costly rituals designed to increase their powers of persuasion and make their emails irresistible to greedy Americans. And so "Sakawa" was born. Now not only is Sakawa Ghana's most popular youth activity and one of its biggest underground economies, it's a full-blown national phenomenon. Sakawa has its own tunes, clothing brands, Sakawasploitation flicks, and even a metastatic backlash from Christian preachers and the press. When we were in Accra over the summer it was impossible to walk more than 10 feet without seeing the word Sakawa in blood-red Misfits letters on a poster or tabloid, often accompanied by bone-chilling horrors of the photoshopped variety. The government is freaked out because Sakawa is threatening Ghana's business reputation, the Christians are freaked out because they're losing money to the Juju priests, the press is freaked out because being freaked out is what sells papers, and the public is freaked out because their government, preacher, and media are all telling them they should be. All the while the Sakawa boys are living the high life and racking up debts to the spirit world, just waiting for the axe to fall.

Khat is a chewable herbal stimulant, popular among the UK's Somali and Yemeni communities. Despite there being little or no evidence that the drug causes harm to its users, the British government is working to outlaw khat. Home Secretary Theresa May says she's worried that without a ban, the UK will become a hub for smuggling it to the US and Europe, where for the most part it is already illegal. Meanwhile, experts warn that a ban might alienate Somalis in the UK and cut off vital exports from Kenya, the UK's largest khat supplier. VICE News followed the khat trail, from the farms of Meru, central Kenya to the suburbs of west London, meeting businesspeople, users and community members all keen to have their say. With exclusive access to a London khat warehouse and khat cafes in the English capital and Nairobi, we explored the industry and the implications of a ban at home and abroad. Smugglers are happy, the youth of Kenya are not.

Christchurch, New Zealand was rocked by 2 massive earthquakes within 6 months. The first rocked on Saturday 4 Sept 2010 at 4.35am and struck just outside of Chch measuring 7.1M and caused widespread damage. Fortunately there were no fatalities. Then after close to 5000 aftershocks on Tuesday 22 Feb 2011 at 12.51pm the worst possible happened. The city was again rocked with another huge quake measuring 6.3M and it was center just 10k from the city at a depth of only 5km! This time there were numerous deaths. The total stands at 166 and counting. There is still many many more missing in rubble and bodies to yet be recovered. A charity match in called "Filled the Basin" in Wellington for the Christchurch earthquake appeal was organised by Ex-NZ captain Stephen Fleming and he joined many other celebrities and ex players to play in this match on Sunday 13 Mach 2011. In this over. Bruce Cheek the winner of an auction on trademe.co.nz paid NZ$2500 to face 6 deliveries from Shane Warne. Amazing game of cricket in which over $500k was raised.
