US president Theodore Roosevelt visits East Africa, they use Kenyans to cross the river, and he kills 500 buffalos for sports.
other scenes of African peoples and of TR's safari party, all probably filmed in British East Africa (Kenya) in 1909. View of TR planting a tree in front of trading company building, possibly located in Mombasa, long shot of busy amusement area in Kenyan seaport of Mombasa, including shot of ferris wheel filled with Swahilis; shots, taken from observation platform on train engine, of plains along the Uganda Railway, with herdsmen who are probably Masai and railroad workers visible along tracks; train pulls into small community; women who are probably Masai, incorrectly identified by interior title as Zulu, gather water at spring, accompanied by children.

good video but there are some mistakes especially in the misrepresentation of Maasai as Zulu, i bet the white man was scared of the Zulu,he saw him everywhere another thing is that it seems Islam had taken root and were it not for the coming of the cadaan, i guess we would have been all Muslims big up to the cadaan though

They changed your original religion and convert you to their religion and you still believe the religion of your colonists?
Africans were originaly muslims but some africans still stuck in colonial era, still believing christianity and not going back to their original religion
