Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Anna Makanda was born in Gweru, Zimbabwe, and raised in London, along with her older sister. Her father is Zimbabwean and her mother, Scottish. Growing up, Anna always dreamed of owning her own business. She started her career as an accountant but soon realised it was time to pursue her dreams. That was when she set up her own fitness brand. In her spare time, you will find her spending time with family and friends, chasing after her two very energetic children or writing a book or two!

Sharmane Barrett was born and raised in London, along with her five sisters. Her father is Jamaican and her mother, Trinidadian-English. Growing up, Sharmane was encouraged to pursue a career as a lawyer but after completing her legal studies, she soon realised that law was not for her. She began working in legal recruitment, which gave her an opportunity to live in Singapore for almost four years. Sharmane's passions are travelling and boxing; although these days there is a lot less travelling to exotic destinations, and a lot more time in the gym.

Are you excited about going on an adventure? 

Join us on a journey across land and sea, taking you to Kenya: the land of unparalleled raw beauty, often referred to as the ‘Jewel of East Africa’.  It is a country that holds a multitude of thrilling treasures; Mother Nature’s magnificence never fails to capture hearts and minds. This book will guide you through the country’s geography, people, culture, and beyond.  

But there’s more there than meets the eye: Kenya has an array of languages, communities, beliefs, and traditions. The people of Kenya are known for being very kind. Hakuna matata means ‘no trouble’ - a philosophy held dearly by most Kenyans. They do not stress too much about things they cannot change, and they are spirited yet humble people. You may be surprised to find that even though Kenya has lots of things that are different to where you live, there are many similarities too.  

Kenya is a little more than four times the size of England and home to over 51 million people who speak many languages.  

Perhaps you have Kenyan heritage and you want to learn more about your roots, or simply want to learn more about this amazing country. You will find some of the many special things about Kenya in this book, but there is so much more to discover. We hope that someday you will be able to travel all the way to Kenya and beyond.
