| One-quarter of the territory endures practically in its wild state with rainforests, dry tropical forest, and savannas. |
| Our Pleistocene hominid forebears were exploiters of the savannas and their adjacent gallery forests. |
| It is a perennial forb that prefers dry, sterile, and sandy soils, often in dry, open woodlands, savannas, or clearings. |
| At that time, the lowland savannas were settled by large numbers of farmer-herders who were ancestors to present-day Luo and Kipsigis. |
| The open savannas where the earliest bipeds evolved were hot, with little shade, and the effect of the sun would have been severe. |
| Inselbergs are rock outcrops, several tens to several hundreds of metres high, emerging from savannas or rain forests. |
