Culture

As with some Bantu groups, the Kalenjin and other Nilotes in the Great Lakes region have through interaction adopted many customs and practices from neighboring Southern Cushitic groups. The latter include the age set system of social organization, circumcision, and vocabulary terms.

In terms of subsistence modes, the Kalenjin have also traditionally practiced livestock herding.
