Culture

Kenya is not a homogeneous country. Kenya consists of 13 ethnic groups and 27 smaller groups. The main Kenya tribe is ‘Bantu’ with its subtribe Kikuyu, Luhya, and Kamba. The ancient tribes of Kenya, such as the Maasai, Kikuyu, and Samburu, live in harmony with nature preserving their traditional customs.

Some non-African descent, namely Indian, Arab, and European, settle in Kenya.

 

Kenyans have some unique attributes; they are more group-orientated than individualistic. They value assistance, effort, responsibility, and community self-reliance. This non-individualist worldview has made Kenyans avoid social distance and stand close to another’s personal space. Therefore, keeping a distance while speaking is considered rude in Kenya.

Language

Kenya has two official languages, Swahili and English, spoken across the country. In addition, Kenya has many indigenous languages, an estimated 62 tribal African languages, including Kikuyu and Luhya. In addition, a minority of foreign settler’s descendants in Kenya speak Middle Eastern and Asian languages, such as Arabic, Hindi, and so.
