#3 Janina von Groote: Kenya
There are many interesting stories one can tell about Kenya. From the cradle of humankind, to its “bloody” history and ending with an uncertain future, Kenya's story is one of the most intriguing in East Africa. Originally I had planned to spend a whole year in Kenya studying at Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT) in Juja, 36 km North East of Nairobi. However, due to the violence that erupted during the presidential elections in 2007 I was forced to leave this fascinating country early after just 6 months. Of course, no talk about Kenya would be complete without mentioning the “Big Five”, the animals you need to see when you are making a safari.
