Kwale County, Administrative division in coastal Kenya
Kwale County stretches along the southern coast of Kenya with a 250-kilometer coastline featuring white sand beaches and coral reefs near the Indian Ocean.
The region developed through centuries of interactions between African, Arab, and Portuguese communities, creating a center for trade along the Kenyan coast.
The population includes Digo and Duruma clans of the Mijikenda tribe, alongside Kamba communities, with Islam being the primary religion of local residents.
The county connects to Tanzania through the Mombasa-Lunga Lunga road and links to Nairobi via the Mombasa-Nairobi Highway, facilitating regional transportation.
The Nyika Plateau within Kwale County maintains extensive livestock farming operations, supporting cattle, goats, sheep, and indigenous chicken populations.
