The Kipsigis are a Nilotic ethnic group of Kenya. Their first language is Kipsigis which belongs to the Nilo-Saharan language family. The traditional occupation of the Kipsigis is herding. In pre-colonial Kipsigis society there was a warrior element. Living on the Western Highlands at an altitude of 1500 to 2000m the Kipsigis now also grow maize wheat pyrethrum and tea.
