The British established the Kenya Colony.
From 1895 to 1920, Kenya (then named East Africa) was a protectorate. Then, from 1920 to December 1963, Kenya was a colony. However, a small strip of land on the Kenyan coast remained a semi-seperate protectorate until October 1963.

Kenya was a territory of the United Kingdom from 1888 to 1963 (75 years). Kenya was controlled by the Imperial British East Africa Company from 1888 to 1895 (7 years). Kenya was known as the East Africa Protectorate from 1895 to 1920 (25 years). So, it was controlled by the UK, but it was not actually a colony. Kenya was a Colony from 1920 to 1963 (43 years).
