Kiswahili is a Bantu language spoken by East Africa people, and the official language of four nations: Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

To celebrate the lingua franca of East Africa, Kenyan artisans hand dye soapstone coasters with safari animals and their Swahili names. This set of six features one each of the following animals: Zebra (Pundamilia), Hippo (Kiboko), Lion (Simba), Elephant (Tembo), Rhino (Kifaru) & Giraffe (Twiga).

A great gift for African language students or your friends returning from safari!
