Located in eastern Africa, Kenya is bordered by the Indian Ocean, Somalia and Tanzania. More than 51 million people live in Kenya, but population estimates factor in the impact of excess mortality due to AIDS. This can lead to lower life expectancy, higher infant mortality, higher death rates and lower population growth. Life expectancy at birth in 2018 was 64 and 69 for males and females respectively, a significant improvement on 2012 numbers.
