This video is about the Meru people of Central Kenya. The Meru are one of the largest ethnic groups in Kenya, with a population of over 2 million people. Their home region of Meru and Tharaka Nithi counties lies on the fertile lands of the north and eastern slopes of Mount Kenya in the former Eastern Province. Their region is the farthest the Bantu expansion has ever reached.
It is believed that they are descendants of the Bantu-speaking groups that migrated southward from West Central Africa, particularly Cameroon. The Bantu expansion brought them initially to the Kenyan coast, from where further migration inward brought them to the highlands of Mount Kenya.
The slopes of Mount Kenya, where the Meru live, are some of the most beautiful and fertile lands in Africa. The Meru region is covered with trees and is indeed breathtakingly beautiful. Within the Meru region, you will find forests, rivers, the second highest mountain in Africa, Mount Kenya, lush rolling wheat farms, beautiful green tea plantations, and serene rural landscapes full of warm, hospitable people. The capital city of Meru is Meru Town, a bustling, beautiful city that is one of Kenya’s fastest-growing cities. Due to its location on the slopes of Mount Kenya , the city enjoys a relatively temperate and cool climate that is a joy to experience.
