Mt. Kenya Cultural Heritage

Kenya is famous for its 42 ethical tribes, but other than the nomadic Maasai and Samburu, not many of these are widely known to the outside world. A new cultural centre devoted to the Kikuyu, Kenya’s largest tribe offers a unique experience of this tradition rich culture existing in a modern world.

Mt. Kenya Heritage Centre is located not far outside of Nairobi, in the Kikuyu Heartland of Muranga.

The Kikuyu are the largest community in Kenya, and have always played a central role in the development of the independent Nation. For this reason, many may believe that modern influence has eroded the traditional way of life for this community, who mainly live around the capital city and the highlands. But as Mt. Kenya Heritage Center demonstrates, this is not the case.
