What attracts to Kenya?

Kenya has no single culture that identifies it. It instead consists of various cultures practiced by the country's many different communities.

The foods that are universally eaten in Kenya are ugali, sukuma wiki, and nyama choma. Sukuma wiki, a Swahili phrase which literally means "to push the week," is a simple dish made with greens similar to kale or collards that can also be made with cassava leaves, sweet potato leaves, or pumpkin leaves.
