Former US President Barack Obama on Monday returned to Kogelo, his ancestral home in Kenya’s Siaya County, on his first Africa tour after leaving the White House.

Mr Obama, who is not accompanied by his family, left the capital Nairobi on a private jet that touched down at Kisumu International Airport on the shores of Lake Victoria.

His arrival heightened excitement in the once sleepy village that shot to global limelight after his election as America's first black president in 2008.

Kogelo is receiving its 'son' after more than a decade and villagers are leaving nothing to chance in their bid to interact with the man who once ruled the world.
