	Embu & Mbeere history - Traditional Music & Cultures of Kenya
		Embu oral history stretches back to around the sixteenth century, when their ancestors - together with those of the Chuka, Kikuyu, Ndia, and possibly those of the Mbeere and Meru people - began moving south from Igembe and Tigania in the Nyambene Hills in the northeast of Mount Kenya.
		Most written sources say that the origins of the Mbeere were the same as for the Bantu-speaking Kikuyu, Embu, Chuka and Meru peoples, namely that their ancestors moved eastwards from central Africa some time before the sixteenth century, and had settled in the Nyambene Hills.
		Yet another story says the reason for the split was that an Embu man eloped with the daughter of an Mbeere man called Cianthiga, and had to flee from the wrath of the girl's father.

	Kenya - Wikipedia
		Numerose città costiere del Kenya furono fondate dagli arabi che, a partire dal IX secolo d.C., intrattennero intensi rapporti commerciali con i gruppi indigeni bantu.
		Alla fascia costiera, lunga oltre 400 km, succede una regione di altopiani aridi e stepposi; quello centrale, che si eleva a quote comprese tra i 1500 e i 3000 metri, è diviso dalla frattura della Rift Valley che si sviluppa da nord a sud e che forma il bacino del Lago Turkana (o Rodolfo).
		I fiumi del Kenya non sono imponenti; i due principali, il Tana e il Galana, si gettano nell'oceano Indiano e hanno un regime molto variabile nel corso dell'anno, in funzione dalla frequenza delle precipitazioni piovose.

		Ochichi, the Olympic 5000m silver medallist who was competing in Kenya fresh from her 10km victory over Paula Radcliffe in New Orleans, USA, opted to run the 1500m rather than her speciality 5000m because of the condition of the track, which was made of murram.
		Ochichi, representing Kenya Police, won the 1500m race in 4:31.12 as Katunge Mutune from Eastern and Mary Kaitany from Hidden Talent followed her home in second (4:32.56) and third (4:35.77) respectively.

	Embu & Mbeere introduction - Traditional Music & Cultures of Kenya
		Despite speaking a Bantu language (Bantu came from central Africa), the agricultural Embu and Mbeere are one of the few Kenyan peoples whose oral traditions seem to locate their origins within Kenya, in fact very close to their present location to the southeast of Kirinyaga (Mount Kenya).
		Tradition further states that the Ndorobo visited the Embu a long time ago but did not stay, though it's more likely that the Ndorobo were there before the Embu arrived, and were either displaced or left when the forests began to be converted to farmland.
		Despite their proximity to the British during the colonial period (Embu town was a major colonial centre), the Mbeere have always kept themselves apart (and have been kept apart) from the Kenyan mainstream.

	Kenyan Culture - The Embu and Mbeere
		The Embu and Mbeere jointly own sacred groves (matiiri) in Mwea, which is one of their traditional places of origin.
		It seems likely from this and other clues that the Igamuturi are descendants of a people indigenous to the Mount Kenya region who predated the arrival of the various groups that later became the Embu and Mbeere.
		They may therefore be related to the various Kenyan hunter-gatherer groups still in existence, who traditionally lived in forests and were (and are still renowned as) experts in plant-derived medicines, as well as witchcraft.

		The three-week torment is preceded by a five-month build-up which specifically prepares Kenya's team members for survival in the Embu cauldron - and the subsequent conquering of top runners from around the globe at the World Championships.
		Although the severe Embu exertions couldn't be completed without the five months of groundwork, the outside world has focused its attention primarily on Embu, and not on the more important build-up period.
		As a result, this October period is sometimes viewed as a 'crash' training cycle by those unfamiliar with Kenyan running, and indeed the highest injury period for Kenyan runners is in October.

		Bogoria is also one of the places in Kenya which offers a reasonable chance of seeing the Greater Kudu.

		Lake Natron is inaccessible and inhospitable - unless you happen to be a flamingo; despite the fact that the temperature of the mud around the lake can reach 50° it's the only known breeding ground for East Africa's Lesser Flamingoes, although they do occasionally attempt to breed at Nakuru or Bogoria.
