Kenya accepted the UNESCO World Heritage Convention on June 5, 1991, and has since had sites inscribed for both natural and cultural significance.
Its natural listings include iconic landscapes like Mount Kenya, Great Rift Valley lakes, and Lake Turkana, showcasing biodiversity, unique ecosystems, and geological history. Cultural inscriptions feature historic coastal settlements, sacred forests of the Mijikenda, fortified towns, and archaeological sites reflecting Swahili trade, colonial fortifications, and indigenous traditions.
