President of the United States of America, Barack Obama is in Kenya, the native country of his father right now on a state visit.
But as much as that visit is heralded as a homecoming on account of the prestigious office he occupies, we can tell you it is not the first time Obama will visit Kenya.
He first went to Kenya, his father’s birthplace in 1987, 18 years ago and the young Obama made the maiden trip to meet his Kenyan relatives with his wife, Michelle five years after the death of his father.
Here are some photos from his maiden trip when he was a community organiser in Illinois and before he joined Harvard Law School.
