Unfortunately, Kikuyus are popular for their industrious nature at home and abroad but aren’t the most romantic men in Kenya. There is no dispute about this. If anything, there’s an unending debate about how unromantic Kikuyu men are. A common ground for agreement among some Kenyan women is that money and business matter to them. These two replace their sense of love. Thankfully, God created Luos for a special reason besides their academic gift.
Which Tribe Has the Most Romantic Men in Kenya?
Luos are the most romantic men in Kenya. So romantic are they that more Kikuyu women are pursuing them unlike in the past when it was nearly a taboo for a woman from Central Kenya to get married to a man from the Lakeside. Their reputation of romance has earned them soft paths in worming their way into the hearts of women. Stinginess isn’t a phenomenon among these brothers from the Lakeside – Nyanza region.
While Kikuyu men are inherently frugal, Luo men are the appointed high priests of soft life. Extravagance and exuberance are constant. They have no limits as to how much they can spend on a woman just to make her happy. Living large is a part of their genotype even for those with seemingly dry pockets. Whenever they get some extra cash, they exhibit the same spending pattern as their deep-pocketed kinsmen across the country.

A year ago, Kenyans were left in awe after a display of opulence by a section of Luo elites on social media. It was shocking to see palatial rural homes built on huge swaths of land and complemented by ornamental birds. How many homes would you walk to and you’re welcomed by a peacock? Home Beautiful, a local Facebook group kept Kenyans in 2023 on the lookout for multi-million-shilling houses.
One Baba Juma hammered the point home that Luos are the most romantic men in Kenya with a display of his palatial rural home. Ostriches roamed his compound freely, a rare sight in any Kenyan home. These Lakeside brothers don’t hold back on living a luxurious life with anything that makes it so, no matter how expensive it is. Talk of their fine taste for premium drinks in uptown clubs donned in designer outfits and driving sleek cars. They live in posh areas too.
Which Tribe in Kenya is the Most Romantic Man From?
Luo tribe is home to the most romantic men in Kenya. What won’t he get to make you happy and maintain his status quo? Nothing. Dating a man of means from Nyanza is a ticket to experiencing the spoils of luxurious vacations and trips in and out of the country. It’s all out in the public courtesy of social media posts by some female influencers and socialites dating (or dated) Luo men. If it’s not cruising in expensive rides; they are perambulating from one corner of the country to the other via flights.

Another instance of a display of opulence driven by love is whenever these sons of Nyanza are attending a dowry ceremony in and out of Nyanza. They hire a helicopter to shuttle them to the bride’s home while a convoy of luxurious SUVs awaits on the ground. The dress code of the day screams style, class and flamboyance. All for love. But there is a downside to the most romantic men in Kenya.
According to a barrage of narrations by a section of Kenyan women, Luo men are certified heartbreakers. “If you want to cry loads give your heart to a son of the lake. I have dated three of them and the result is still the same. You live like a queen and then you end up in emotional misery because one woman is never enough for them,” Wairimu wa Wanja narrates.
Achieng even resolved to stay single and only marry outside Nyanza because she has had enough of character development.
“I am a career woman and a loving mother to three amazing kids. We came from nothing to people who could afford buying not one but three Range Rovers. But nothing about me being a submissive wife and a good mother stopped him from chasing skirts everywhere in this country,” she painfully narrates.
