Sabaot (Sebei) is a Kalenjin language of Kenya. The Sabaots live around Mount Elgon in both Kenya and Uganda. The hills of their homeland gradually rise from an elevation of 5,000 to 14,000 feet. The Kenya-Uganda border goes straight through the mountain-top, cutting the Sabaot homeland into two halves.
