He has made few visits to the
country of his father’s birth, traveling there only in 1988, 1992 and 2006
before his visit days back.
His first visit was in 1988. He went
to Kenya to discover more about his roots and his father’s heritage. His father
and mother had split up two years after he was born. His second trip was in
1992; he traveled with Michelle, who was his fiancee at the time. They married
a few months after that visit. The second trip was embarked upon for Michelle
to meet his paternal grandmother and other extended family members.
The third visit was in 2006 and he was a US senator as at the time. He moved around relatively freely and visited his father’s grave and his grandmother’s tin-roof house. Two years later, he became the president of the United States of America. See some photos from his past visits below:
