The history of Kenya reveals that Kenya is but a cultural microcosm of the larger continent of Africa. About 97% of Kenya's population comprises of people of African descent who belong to over 70 different tribal groups. Among the most significant Kenya Tribes are the Kikuyu, Kamba, Gusii, Luhya, and Luo. Kenya's primary languages are English and Swahili, though there are many regional tribal languages. Kenya has developed its own lingua franca, Swahili, which is a Bantu language with strong traces of Arabic.

Interestingly enough, the word safari is Swahili, which means travel. There are about 42 different tribes in Kenya - each of these with its own unique culture, but majority of them with intertwining cultural practices brought about by the close resemblance in the languages, the similar environment and physical proximity of the tribes. The tribes are grouped into larger sub-groups - based on their cultural and linguistic similarities. T

here are three major unifying categories of languages: the Bantu speaking people of the Coastal region, the Central Highlands and the Western Kenya Region, The Nilotes who are mainly found in the Rift Valley and the Lake Victoria Region and the Cushites who are mainly composed of pastoralists and nomads in the drier North Eastern part of the country. Of note is that these sub-groups span a vast area of not just Kenya, but the East, Central and Southern African Region as a whole.
