The People of Kenya
Kenya – a nation of many colors
There are 42 indigenous African tribes from three major ethno-linguistic families, plus significant Asian, Arab and European communities, that all call Kenya home and turn it into a nation of unbelievable cultural diversity. Probably the most widely known people of all are the Maasai, who share their Nilotic origin with the Turkana.

The diversity of the Kenyan people creates an awesome array of various lifestyles, customs, music and arts, that is one of the country’s major attractions. But even with all this variety, there is a common feature amongst Kenyans, no matter of which descent: a wonderful sense of humor and an all-winning cheerful smile!
