    by actonsteve a 40 year old male from London, on vacation in Nairobi

    "He was rather a chatty old man – and asked me what I thought of Nairobi? I answered it was fine – no different from any other city which seemed to please him, he was obviously used to negative responses"

    I got to see Karen Blixens tin opener today.   Some people get to see the Elgin Marbles, some people get to see the Rosetta Stone and I get... Continue reading »

    A muslim cat called Jesus and President Mwai Kibaki | Feb 28 06'

    by Alexandre C-B a 24 year old male from Montreal, on vacation in Nairobi

    "He had covered the walls with cloth and covered these with posters of European football teams (Liverpool and Real Madrid – we got along well lamenting about Real’s perennial failures), Beyonce and most importantly, Bob Marley. Aside from the fact that he had to buy water and access to a local latrine, at a glance it could easily be a generic cramped college student’s room in a residence."

        “Tuanane Kesho” – See you tomorrow was the last phrase my new friends at the Mathare Youth Sports Association taught me as... Continue reading »

    by actonsteve a 40 year old male from London, on vacation in Nairobi

    The pool was the consistency of Evian water and icy cold despite the African sun beating down on it. It is of course winter here on the Equator but... Continue reading »

    by Xing a real traveler, on vacation in Nairobi

    "What is Kenya? Poor? Famine? Dangerous? Wars? No, no, no. If you do not witness it by yourself, experience with the people here, you will never know why I love Kenya so much."

    It is a place full of wild living things, from a bird, a fish, a lion, a champizee, anything you could imagine in your dreams.I visited so many pla... Continue reading »
