The Nandi are the community that carried the covenant through the long resistance of the nineteenth century and gave the Kalenjin nation much of its warrior memory.
Nandi country is a plateau of tea and forest, cut by the Yala and the Kingwal, and it has raised generation after generation of teachers, athletes and public servants.
The ten clans of the Nandi still keep the old order of counsel and of age set, and the community remains one of the great pillars of the wider Kalenjin nation.
