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.

Social Structure

Many Kikuyu have moved from Kikuyuland to other parts of the country. Those living in rural areas tend to continue practice farming.
