The 53-year-old American President who arrived in his Air Force One jet shortly after took to his twitter to post a message saying he's proud to visit his ancestral home as serving US president - first to visit and happy to connect with young people and members of his Kenyan family.
At dinner, the president was joined by more relatives, including the woman known as "Granny" or "Mama Sarah", who helped raise his now-deceased father, according to BBC.
Mr Obama's trip to Kenya and then Ethiopia is also designed to show US commitment to fighting terror in East Africa. The president will also deliver a "blunt message" to African leaders about gay rights and discrimination during his two-day official visit.
