Countries that border Kenya
5 land neighbours: Ethiopia, Somalia, South Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda. Each one has a page of its own.
Why this one is hard
5 neighbours to keep in the right order.
Its 5 land borders are joint 5th-most in Africa — level with the Republic of the Congo, Côte d’Ivoire, Senegal and Uganda. Of the 10 possible pairings among them, 4 are themselves borders, which is what turns a list into a knot. Tanzania is the most connected of them, with 8 land borders of its own. All of them deal on the Africa board alongside Kenya, and on the world board with everyone else in Africa.

The capital
Nairobi

The flag
Flag Blitz flies it and offers four countries — Kenya is the one that owns it.
