East Africa

East Africa is a region generally considered to include the countries of Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Mozambique, Malawi, Somalia, Djibouti, Ethiopia, and Sudan. Some parts of East Africa have been renowned for their concentrations of wild animals, such as the "Big 5" of elephant, giraffe, lion, zebra and rhino, though populations have been declining under increased stress in recent times, particularly rhino and elephant.

Tourism is an important part of the economies of Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda.
