Is there a lot of diversity? Are people in Kenya accepting of differences?
When we asked people about diversity in Kenya and whether locals are accepting of differences, they said...
"Yes, there is a lot of diversity in Kenya. Kenya is home to a variety of ethnic groups, including the Kikuyu, Luo, Kalenjin, Kamba, Kisii, and Maasai, among others. People in Kenya are generally accepting of differences, and the country has a long history of peaceful coexistence between its various ethnic groups," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Kenya.
"People are very accepting but tough like New Yorkers they want to know what you are doing here and if it is deemed of true value. They are all very smart and take great pride in hard work and professionalism," commented one expat who made the move to Nairobi, Kenya.
