Around 500 AD, some merchants from the Persian Gulf, southern India and Indonesia began to trade with East Africa. This trade led to the establishment of trading posts.

Arab traders began frequenting the Kenya coast to the first century AD Kenya's proximity to the coast of the Arabian peninsula favored the establishment of permanent settlements. Between I and V century some Greek merchants of Egypt participated in trade with Kenya. Around 500 AD, some merchants from the Persian Gulf, southern India and Indonesia began to trade with East Africa. This trade led to the establishment of trading posts. Over time these enclaves, they became personal Arab city states along the coast. By the eighth century, these cities were governed by rulers who had converted to Islam.
Muslim traders had little incentive to penetrate beyond the sea in Africa, since the goods in which they were interested as gold from the mines of Zimbabwe, ivory, slaves, tortoise shells, and the rhino horns were collected by the local people of the interior, and was sold to coastal traders in seasonal markets.

between the different peoples Swahili culture. The arrival of the Portuguese in the sixteenth century challenged the Arab dominance on the coast, overshadowed by Oman in 1698. Regarding the UK, it established an influence during the nineteenth century.

established in 1875 the British East Africa, and in 1902 allowed white settlers to access the high fertile plains.
