👋 Greetings

Handshakes are common and often prolonged. Greet elders first with respect. "Jambo" is touristy; locals prefer "Habari" or "Sasa". Take time with greetings.

🍽️ Dining

Wash hands before meals. Many eat with their right hand. Ugali and nyama choma (roasted meat) are staples. Accept offered food and drink graciously.

👔 Dress Code

Modest dress is appreciated, especially in coastal Muslim areas. Casual and practical for safaris. Neutral colors for game drives. Cover shoulders at religious sites.
