Kenya’s diverse cultures enrich the nation with a wide range of delicacies. Tourists are guaranteed to savour in the splendour of some of the most delicious cuisines in the world. Kenya’s rich soils ensure a rich supply of vegetables throughout the year, while the coastal area is famous for its production of tropical fruits and sea food. The coastal region, mainly inhabited by the Swahili, is best known for its unique culinary art which is influenced by both African and Arab staples which will mesmerise every visitor. Do not forget to indulge in `Nyama Choma’, a famous terminology for roast meat, which is very popular in the interior of the country. Visit the Carnivore for its unique grills, the only place in the world where you can taste various game meats in the same plate. Kenya’s main staple food is `Ugali’, which is made from maize meal and can be served along with any kind of cooked vegetable, stew or meat. The abundance of vegetables makes vegetarians feel at home. Also, most Kenyan dishes are served with vegetables. The existence of a huge community of Indians has helped in establishing quite a number of vegetarian restaurants across the country, and particularly in the larger cities. The warm climate is an added value to the lodges and camps all over the country, as meals can be served outdoors, enabling visitors to enjoy their meals while taking in the fabulous scenery at camp sites, lodges and hotels. A breathtaking breakfast in the African bush, after a balloon safari, is a very good example of the culinary experiences possible. Settle back at a lodge or hotel and enjoy a beverage as you watch the sun set in the undulating horizon. Restaurants in Nairobi offer a wide range of cuisines, varying from the traditional to the international food-types like Indian, Korean, French, Chinese, Ethiopian and fast food restaurants. While in Mombasa, do not forget to taste `Pilau’ which is a spicy rice dish, in addition to pastries such as mandazis, samosas and kebabs.

The upright man (Australopithecus Anamnesis) is said to have lived in Kenya’s Lake Turkana some 4.1 million years ago. Also the Zinjanthripus (also known as the black man) lived in this same region 3.5 million years ago. These discoveries were revealed through the excavation of Fossils in the region between 1989-1989.

Bantu immigrants introduced technology to the country in 200 AD while Arabs, who were then trading in slaves, introduced Islam to the East African region in 700 AD. 750 AD saw the first Swahili settlements along the coastal area. Human migration brought the Nilotes from the Lake Turkana region to the Kenyan interior between the 10-14^th century. The Nilotes consist of the Maasai, Turkana, Luos, Iteso and the Kalenjin.

During the 13^th century, the Bantus divided into two main groups as they migrated towards the central part of Tanzania. This group built their settlements between the Mount Kilimanjaro area and the Indian Ocean. The first group moved towards the north, where they settled and formed the Taveta, Taita and Kamba tribes.

The second group moved towards the Indian ocean, and the neighboring hills, settling and forming the famous `Mijikenda community’, then another group finally moved further towards the west where they settled and formed the Agikuyu, Aembu, Chuka, Tharaka and the Ameru tribes. The 15^th century would later be classified as the Golden age for the Swahili civilization.

During the 15^th and the 17^th century, the Luos migrated from the southern part of Sudan towards Uganda settling around the Lake Victoria region. Thereafter the Luos migrated towards the interior and the Kano area. In 1528, Mombasa experienced its first invasion by the Portuguese. Years later (around 1593), the Portuguese built Fort Jesus in Mombasa. In the 18^th century, the Maasai migrated from one area to area in search of a settlement, which they later found in the Rift Valley region.

Dr. Ludwig Krapf, a German and missionary of the Church Missionary Society of England, established the first Christian mission along the Kenyan coast among the Mijikendas. Years later, in 1883, Joseph Thomson became the first explorer to traverse what was known as the Maasai land. Towards the end of the 19^th century, the famous Koitalel Arap Samoei, a prophet and leader, would prophecy that a “snake” would tear through Nandi region and spit fire: a theory that would be proven right when the British built Kenya’s main railway line. Koitalel Arap Samoei fought against the railway’s construction for 10 years. The first railway line was completed in 1901 connecting Mombasa and Kisumu at Lake Victoria.

1^st June 1963 saw Kenya achieved its independence and to date, the day is national holiday marked to celebrate Madaraka (independence). By 12^th December 1963, Kenya became an independent nation. In 1964 it would become a republic with Jomo Kenyatta being her first president. In 1978, Jomo Kenyatta passed away and that paved the way for his first predecessor and the second president of Kenya: Mr. Daniel Arap Moi.

In 1992 the Kenyan constitution was amended to incorporate multi party democracy. In 1997 Kenya celebrates its second multiparty elections with excellent results. Since then Kenya has been steadily climbing up the pluralistic ladder in democracy, setting a remarkable example to the African continent.

There are diverse shopping opportunities in Kenya which range from handmade curios to African art that is unique to Kenya.

The array of unique products that are sold on the Kenyan market include traditional dresses, wood carvings, stone carvings, precious stones, decorated furniture, traditional and modern music, tea, coffee and much more.

Tourists are guaranteed the possibility of visiting different shops and stalls, most of which are scattered across the major cities, even in many hotels. Plan to visit the open air markets where you will be able to purchase original curios while affording you the opportunity to mingle with the local folks. At open air markets, you will be able to acquire products at flexible prices. Be prepared to bargain as this is the order of the day. Bargaining is typical art form in Kenya that is deployed by industrious locals who want nothingmore than to share their culture through their talented wares. The Maasai Market is a must see shop-stop on any given Tuesday in Nairobi.

The Hilton Hotel in Nairobi’s down town has one of the most fascinating art galleries and gift shops in Kenya. The Grand Regency’s gift shop and the city market are destinations that will not disappoint you even though the retail prices are relatively higher than in the open air markets.

While on safari, in various parts of the country, visitors are able to acquire articles too e.g. the Maasai Mara has the Maasai village shop depot, and the same applies for various parts of Mombasa. Your guide could lead you through large communities where you can see hundreds of artists in action.
