Kenya

£4.99

Indexed tourist map of the country with additional street plans and enlargements of some national parks, reserves and popular regions. Road detail distinguishes untarred roads and includes selected tracks and minor roads, and shows intermediate driving distances on main routes. Some petrol stations are also indicated, and railways and airports are marked.

The publisher’s chosen method for conveying most effectively the best routes to the locations and regions of interest, is to reduce distracting details. Consequently, compared with some other maps for the same region, this map shows no elaborate representation of general relief, although highland areas are indicated and named, and some peak heights are marked. Swamp regions are marked, and reserves and national parks are clearly highlighted. Province names (but not boundaries) are included and symbols show places of interest, hospitals, selected hotels, lodges, campsites, bathing beaches, park gates and border posts. No latitude and longitude lines are marked. The map is indexed and annotated with regional climate information charts, and includes a distance chart.

On the reverse are enlargements of Mt.Kenya NP, Aberdare NP, Masai Mara National Reserve, Nairobi NP, Meru NP, Samburu, Buffalo Springs and Shaba National Reserve, Amboseli NP, Lamu and Manda Islands and the Mombasa coastal region. There are also indexed street plans of central Nairobi (indexed), Mombasa (indexed) and Mombasa Old Town. These show railways, local sites of interest, notable buildings, and visitor facities e.g. hotels, car parks, post offices and information centres.
