Hollywood has had significant interactions with Kenya, some of which date back to the early 1930’s. This can be evidenced by the significant number of top-selling Hollywood movies that were partly or wholly filmed in Kenya. These films have continued to put Kenya on the global map to this day by showcasing Kenya’s beautiful scenery.

The films have also survived as a marketing tool for the Kenyan tourism sector. What’s more, they make Kenyans, who are ardent fans of Hollywood movies, feel part of the global film and entertainment industry. Here are four famous Hollywood movies that were filmed in Kenya.
