Elephantine is an island near Aswan, called that because of its shape. It was known as Abu or Yebu to the ancient Egyptians, a defensive position on the border of Nubia.
Kitchener is the (not current) name of the island just to the west of Elephantine, now called Elnabatat's Island.
"Kitchener's Island is one of two major islands on the Nile in vicinity of Aswan, the other one being Elephantine. Elephantine is much larger than Kitchener's Island and located between Kitchener's Island and the city of Aswan"
"The island was given to Lord Kitchener as a reward for his services in the Sudan Campaign (1896–1898)"
So the answer is "on the Nile near Aswan, Egypt".
