The new road makes the first leg of the future Nairobi bypass

Kenya national parks, and farther to Isiolo and the Samburu area, where a new fast highway was opened last year heading north to Marsabit, Moyale and Ethiopia. A segment of the new Thika road will also serve as part of the future Nairobi bypass, currently under construction.

Tana river delta designated a Ramsar site
It is the 6th Wetland of International Importance in Kenya
Oct 12, 2012. The Tana river delta has been designated as Kenya's 6th listed Wetland of International Importance in the Ramsar Convention.

The new designation should help preserve an area threatened by commercial interests and troubled by a long-running ethnic conflict between the Pokomo and Orma communities.
