For the complete national picture, see every country bordering or near Kenya. Handy for cross-border import/export planning, scouting a new travel corridor or lining up emergency logistics across Africa.
Next to every distance sits a compass heading from Juja, plotted on the 16-point rose (N, NNE, NE, ENE, E, ESE, SE, SSE, S, SSW, SW, WSW, W, WNW, NW, NNW). The rotating arrow marks the bearing angle (0°–360°, where 0°/360° is due north) — see it in action in the cities, states and countries tables above. It's the same reference pilots, sailors and long-haul truckers use to picture the layout around Juja at a glance.
