The Suba (Abasuba) are a diverse group of Bantu people living in Kenya. They are made up of a combination of clans from their primary tribes, the Ganda, Luhya, and Soga. They speak a language called Suba, which is similar to Ganda with the exception of a few vocabulary words .

Whiff of smoked tilapia, a chunk of millet ugali - food that feeds the soul and smells like home. The food exhibition is always a crowd favorite and this year's #RusingaFestival2025 will be no different. What would you like to try? #SubaCulture
