Uganda was another dispersal point of the Bantu migration, and is the last point of origin for several Bantu tribes in Western Kenya. Uganda and kenya share tribes split by colonial borders like the Nilotes; Teso, Turkana, Pokot and Luo. Shared Bantu tribes include the Bukusu, called Bagisu in Uganda.

Bororojo:


lool, Sure.
I believe you.

I will leave the ladies to be the judge of that.
Many Bantu women are beautiful though. especially from Kenya, Rwanda, South Africa Lesotho and Swaziland.

Due to Intermarriages across language groups and races, Not all is what it seems in Kenya.
Kikuyus,Swahilis and Taitas are Bantus but differ in skin color even with their linguistic kin. Taita had arab traders passing through for centuries and interactions occured thus racially, Taitas are closer to the Swahili but linguistically, they are closer to the Mijikenda Pare and Usambara .They are also predominantly Christian while Swahilis are Muslims.
Swahilis are counted as Bantu, even though a large number look like Yemenis and Omanis especially if their bloodlines are more Arab than African. In Lamu,Swahilis are almost indistinguishable from the Coastal Arabs of Kenya.
Kikuyus are the most complex, originally Kikuyus were a bantu tribe that settled in Central Kenya, absorbing the Cushitic Athi and the Bushmen Gumba. Later, some migration occurred from the North, claimed to be from Ethiopia, then the Maasai civil wars drove many Maasai into Kiambu and Nyeri.At the same time, Arab traders interacted with Kikuyus from Nyeri and Southern Kiambu and Finally large scale European settlement in Central Kenya as well as the establishment of Mission stations all over Kikuyuland saw European genes intorduced into the Kikuyu community. The physical features however do differ from one county to another. Muranga Kikuyus are typically dark to a chocolate complexion.They are considered to be the original kikuyusince Kikuyus actually moved north and south from Muranga.Europeans only settled in Lower Muranga which was then sparsely populated .Kirinyaga Kikuyu are also generally dark as you move Eastwards from Nyeri.Kirinyaga only recieved Maasai settlement in their county. Nyeri and Kiambu which are the most populous counties in Kikuyuland are the most diverse. You will find Tall and Dark Kikuyus due to Maasai Ancestry(Jomo Kenyatta, Wangari Maathai) Light skinned Kikuyus(Ephraim Maina,Njoki Ndungu, Malonza Chege,Branda Wairimu) and those in between. Rift Valley Kikuyus are a mix of all the counties so they exhibit all characteristics of Kikuyus.

Thanks. I stand corrected.

Refer to GERALD710 post ^^ on ethnic composition. Kikuyu is the largest Kenyan tribe at 23%, followed by Luhya at 17%. The next two are Nilotes, followed by other Bantu tribes. The composition is more or less similar for the neighbouring Uganda and Tanzania with whom they share some tribes along their borders.

Lol...Just a statement of fact.

onila:

Their physical features are not uncommon in other predorminantly Bantu countries.

Wendell Pierce must definitely be Bantu. I see a son of the soil right there.

Loving these beautiful pics. Four Super tribes, starting with hunter - gatherer tribes, followed by Bantus, then Nilotes, and finally Cushites meet in Kenya. Assimilations of unrelated tribes also happened en masse. Isn't it strange that our forefathers were more accomodating to other tribes than our generation is?

JiggamanGh:


What do you mean about East African?

Right @onila has "East African" become a race now?

I'll be right back.
