Both language and culture are characterised by a mixture of Bantu, Arabic, Persian and Asian influence.

• Kenya’s highest mountain is Mount Kenya, and its Africa’s second highest peak. It is regarded as the realm of Ngai, god of the local Kikuyu people. Traditionally, all Kikuyu home were built to face this sacred peak. They call it Kirinyaga, or place of light.
