Map East Africa

East Africa is home to ancient tribal people living simple lives in rural lands and the world’s most impressive wildlife. Natural wonders like the Serengeti planes and the Swahili coast draw tourists from all corners of the world.

The reality is that many of these tourists never see the widespread poverty in the region. Rural areas lack schools, frequent droughts cause starvation and the HIV/AIDS epidemic is rapidly tightening its grip on the people.
