Culture

Kenya has few architectural masterpieces and little visual/physical history. Until a century ago, there was no written language. Nevertheless, the country has one of the most complex and fascinating cultures in the world. People have arrived from all over Africa, and the population of about 28 million is made up of some 40 different tribes. Since the 7th century, the region has traded with Arabs, Persians, and Chinese, all of whom left their mark on the culture, while the arrival of the British Empire turned the whole country on its head. In spite of this diversity, the different tribes share many characteristics and a common outlook. adventure holiday wales

The Tribes of Kenya

In Kenya, tribal identity is all-important. Made up of three main groupings. The Cushites began arriving from Ethiopia and Somalia in about 2000 bc and are still heading south in sporadic waves. The Nilotic tribes came down from Egypt and the Sudan from about 1000 bc, while the Bantu are later migrants, drifting over from West Africa since about 500 bc. The original hunter-gatherers who lived here prior to 2000 bc were killed, pushed out or absorbed by intermarriage and no longer have any separate identity. The groupings are almost purely linguistic, and among the many tribes who share common roots, you can find every type of lifestyle from hunter-gatherers to nomadic herders, settled farmers, and fishermen. holiday park south wales
