Cool Planet home What is Oxfam? World Children ... Contact us Kenya - History Photo: Geoff Sayer/Oxfam The Rift Valley which runs through the centre of Kenya is sometimes called "The Cradle of Humanity", because archeological finds suggest that the human race started there. Over the centuries, the area was settled by people of a number of ethnic groups. Eventually towns developed along the coast for trade with the Arab world. In 1505, Portuguese fleets invaded and the Portuguese began to take control of the East African coast. They finally left in 1670. Arab nations, especially the Omanis, then began to control the coastal region again. In the 1880s, East Africa was divided between Britain and Germany, and in 1895 Kenya became a British protectorate. In 1957, however, the first Africans were elected to the Legislative Council. Political freedom gradually increased until, in 1963, Kenyatta led the renamed Kenya African National Union (KANU) to victory in the elections of May 1963. In December that year, Kenya finally gained independence. Kenyatta became president of the new republic in 1964 and remained in post until his death in 1978. During that time, he increased the power of his own tribe and family, creating a one-party state, and limiting free political debate.

History of Kenya Site Links Home Search this Site History Posters Africa ... Privacy Policy Fossils found in East Africa suggest that protohumans roamed the area more than 20 million years ago. Recent finds near Kenya's Lake Turkana indicate that hominids lived in the area 2.6 million years ago. Cushitic-speaking people from northern Africa moved into the area that is now Kenya beginning around 2000 BC. Arab traders began frequenting the Kenya coast around the first century A.D. Kenya's proximity to the Arabian Peninsula invited colonization, and Arab and Persian settlements sprouted along the coast by the eighth century. During the first millennium A.D., Nilotic and Bantu peoples moved into the region, and the latter now comprises three-quarters of Kenya's population. The Swahili language, a mixture of Bantu and Arabic, developed as a lingua franca for trade between the different peoples. Arab dominance on the coast was eclipsed by the arrival in 1498 of the Portuguese, who gave way in turn to Islamic control under the Imam of Oman in the 1600s. The United Kingdom established its influence in the 19th century. The colonial history of Kenya dates from the Berlin Conference of 1885, when the European powers first partitioned East Africa into spheres of influence. In 1895, the U.K. Government established the East African Protectorate and, soon after, opened the fertile highlands to white settlers. The settlers were allowed a voice in government even before it was officially made a U.K. colony in 1920, but Africans were prohibited from direct political participation until 1944.

GPS waypoints You are here: Home > History: The African nationalism HISTORY: THE AFRICAN NATIONALISM (1919-1947) Invasion of their lands, hard work conditions, unfair colonial laws, a discriminatory social system and abusive taxes engendered among the natives a logical resentment towards the Europeans, and fed the seed of African nationalism. Maasais and Kikuyus were the most affected, for they were the tribes that had traditionally inhabited the region were Nairobi was founded. The Maasais chose not to mix their destiny with that of the foreigners and accepted retiring from the scene, but Kikuyus remained beside their former lands and were exploited as basic manpower source. The natives' discrimination, even towards other races different from the white, was patent in all aspects of colonial life. In 1927 the elected representatives of Arabs and Asians entered the Colony Legislative Council. Conversely, African interests were represented by a white settler designed to do so. At the public premises there were toilets for European gentlemen, European ladies, Asian gentlemen and Asian ladies, but none for Africans.

GPS waypoints You are here: Home > History: The first migrations HISTORY: THE FIRST MIGRATIONS (50,000 B.C.-500 A.D.) 50,000 years ago, clans of Homo sapiens dwelled in Eastern Africa. They hunted and repelled their enemies using stone-carved axes and spearheads fixed to wooden handles. Leather for making garments was tanned using bone tools, and the first containers for storing wild grain and other food items were manufactured in this period. These hunters-gatherers used natural elements for body painting, including red ochre for their hair and skin, and they developed complex rituals for burying their dead. Centuries came and go, and they started to develop social and communication structures, to practise rudimentary kinds of trading and to build villages where they reared domestic animals. Geographic differences resulted in distinct sources of raw materials and food, giving rise to civilizations with particular customs and ways of life. Some prehistoric sites in Kenya include Gamble's Cave, Njoro River Cave and Hyrax Hill, just outside Nakuru. It was 6,000 years ago when the first invasions came to disturb the peace of the plains' hunters-gatherers. Due to climatic changes in Northern Africa, Cushite and Nilotic pastoral tribes moved south searching for better pastures. Technically and militarily superior, Cushites and Nilotes easily seized the East African natives. Shortly after, around 500 B.C., the Bantus entered from the west.

RELATED THEMES conflict politics OTHER LOCAL THEMES agriculture communications culture and customs development ... spiritual beliefs BACKGROUND introducing the area history quotes about history key testimonies featuring history Historical references are mainly about how the Sabaot came to inhabit Mount Elgon and the long-term conflict with the Bukusu. Several narrators have clear memories of life under colonial rule, and the fight for independence. They describe how things changed after independence. Many highlight their exploitation by white settlers and the loss of land, but more than one paints a positive picture of the colonialists, and several feel that white oppression was exchanged for worse oppression by the Bukusu. Some feel the settlers supported the Bukusu, and so increased Sabaot vunerability to Bukusu dominance. Several remember missionaries introducing Christianity and education, and the unease many felt about the threat this posed to their culture. One narrator talks about the Second World War and how some Sabaot participated: "Some were not lucky to come back. But many of them came back with money. People who were originally poor were able to buy livestock.. The Second World War gave us an opportunity to send people out to other communities so that they could see how other people do their things. [It] opened up the eye of our people." (Kenya 15)

Geography and Climate When most of us think about Kenya, we probably think about giraffes, elephants or perhaps lions. These are the images that many persons have come to associate with Kenya. However, Kenya, while a country with a rich variety of animals, is much, much more. It has thousands of years of history and research by archaeologists indicates that the very first human beings that we are directly descendants of probably originated in Kenya. Kenya stretches from the Indian Ocean in the east, to 5,199 meters at the peak of the snow-capped Mount Kenya. From the coast, the altitude changes gradually from the coastal belt and plains to the dry intermediate low belt and then to what is known as the Kenya Highlands. The terrain in the low belt has hills, masses of boulders and inselbergs. People over the ages have confined themselves to places where water is readily found. The low belt is where much of Kenya's wild life is found-in places like the Amboseli Game Reserve, the Maasai Mara National Park and the Tsavo National Park. The Great Rift Valley bisects the Kenya Highlands into east and west. Mount Kenya (see picture below) is on the eastern side. The Highlands are cool and agriculturally rich. Both large and small holder farming is carried out in the highlands. Major cash crops are tea, coffee, pyrethrum, wheat and corn. Livestock farming is also practised.

Search: The Lodge is situated in the Shaba National Reserve. This Reserve is part of a conglomeration of reserves in the Eastern Province, descending from Mt. Kenya, at the entrance to the vast scrub desert that reaches beyond L.Turkana, are situated Samburu National Reserve, Buffalo Springs National Reserve and the third contiguous National Reserve, Shaba. The Ewaso Nyiro River whose origin is the northern slope of Mt. Kenya around the Nanyuki Township borders all the reserves. The river's name is a derived from the local community's language. It means the river of brown or muddy water. The Lodge basks in a legacy bequeathed by Joy Adamson of the 'Born Free' fame. She was wife of a prominent conservationist, George Adamson, who was a senior game warden of the area. Joy raised her adopted animals next door to the current Sarova Shaba Lodge's site. She first came to Kenya in 1910 with her first husband whom she latter divorced. In 1956, George, in his capacity as the game warden was compelled to kill a man-eating lioness, which had three newly born cubs. So orphaned before they could imprint on any animate object, they were taken in by Joy Adamson who became their foster mother. She named them 'Lustica', 'Big One', and 'Elsa'. She later found that she could not handle three fast growing lionesses, therefore she reluctantly sent the cubs to Blydrop, Rotterdam when they were five months old.

The Mau Mau Insurrection is interesting for many reasons, not the least of which is the fact that it serves as an excellent example of mass hysteria. It seems that the Mau Mau were originally invented by the European settlers, but there can be no denying the fact that real Mau Mau appeared on the scene shortly thereafter and quickly became a tangible army and active fighting force.
