About Kenya

  • Clothing: In Muslim areas including the coast, shorts and t-shirts can be frowned upon. Away from the tourist hotels and beaches, our advice is to wear trousers, or a knee length or longer skirt, and tops which cover your shoulders.

  • Cuisine:This cuisine from East Africa is prepared with delectable ingredients and plenty of affection, and it transports you on a gastronomic trip right into the heart of the nation. Kenyan food presents an incredible tale, from hearty Swahili stews and barbecues to the distinctive flavors of the East African Indian migrants.

  • Culture:The make-up of Kenyans is primarily that of 13 ethnic groups with an additional 27 smaller groups. The majority of Kenyans belong to ‘Bantu’ tribes such as the Kikuyu, Luhya and Kamba.
