Kikuyu
The Kĩkũyũ (otherwise spelled Gĩkũyũ) ethnic group is Kenya's most populous ethnic group. They total more than 4.5 million which is about 20% of Kenya's total population. They cultivate the fertile central highlands, sometimes known as Kikuyuland, and part of the lush Great Rift Valley.
Religion
In the Kĩkũyũ religion, there is only one, monotheistic God called Ngai (worshipped also by the Maasai and Kamba), who lives on the top of Mount Kenya (which they call K?r?nyaga).
