The Kalenjin people are Southern Nilotes who mainly reside in western Kenya, though their settlements also extend into Uganda just north of Mount Elgon. This map shows their distribution. While Kony, Pok, Bongomek, and Sabiny live around Mount Elgon, Nandi, Kipsigis, Terik, Keyo, Tuken, and Marakwet live in the highlands south and southeast of Mount Elgon. The Kalenjin people are mostly herders and cultivators and number about a million.
