Photograph showing a Sudanese Native Officer and a young Nandi Bugler, possibly 2nd Battalion, King’s African Rifles, 1916-17 (c). They stand in uniform in front of trees and a field.

The Nandi are part of the Kalenjin, a Nilotic tribe living in East Africa. They traditionally have lived and still form the majority in the highland areas of the former Rift Valley Province of Kenya, in what is today Nandi County. They speak the Nandi dialect of the Kalenjin language.
