Nairobi Photos (kenya): A Beautiful East African City

Nakumatt Crossroads Mall- Karen

Hi guys we will move with the family (me,my husband ans 2 y.o son) or to congo or kenya nairobi we never been to africa and from what l saw on interner l like much more nairobi can u just tell me how much money at about we need for costs of life there (company will give us home and car) and is it safe for me to walk on day alone with the kid in down town and to use taxi (we are from greece)?

Anger and frustrations, while natural reactions, do not solve our problems.  After the insults, what's the way out.  I still feel that it shall be better.  Our (mis)leaders did not create the country Nigeria and God surely not allow them to (mis)lead us to perdition, deprivation, hunger and hopelessness.  Please sir, keep praying and doing your good deeds and the day of reckoning will come, by His Grace.

glad someone just realise that

i told them time after time that that those people arent human they are monkies

aso-monkies for real

or u tell me what they are

hello, nacafaca,  Karibu! I'll joint with u but at list u may come first and have a look how da situation there, thats recommended,

Those who come here and start commenting a bout the slums must be very ignorant, yes Nairobi has slums and that is what the media talks a bout all the time as if there are no richest, richer or middle class citizens in Kenya.  If anything these slums are filled with foreigners from war zone countries like Sudan, Rwanda, Congo, Somali, etc it's not like most Kenyans live in the slums, kibera is mainly Sudanese refugges.  someone just commented Nigeria dont have people who go in swords, spears and without clothes.  Yes, we have the maasai, samburu etc it is not because they are primitive or anything like that, they have kept their culture and proud to be whatever they are they dont need to be like westerners, go to North of Norway there are the same type of people it doesn't make them ignorant they love to keep their culture, they are educated and live in a developed country.  This site is to show the most ignorant people the good side of Africa, it's not only  about sicknesses, poverty, etc   Africa has it's beauty too, as for comments for Nigeria they have oil if their Government could stop looting they would be very far, just like the Kenyan leaders they loot the taxpayers money which should stop, and build our nation.   

Asante Marthero,you are always welcome nacafaca

South Eastern Nairobi (Mombasa road, Mlolongo, Athi river.)

Because this area is quite large, I will focus on new construction projects taking place.

Mombasa road:





Some huge housing projects being built in the Embakasi suburb, as seen from Mombasa road.



Dual carriage highway being constructed and it sure is wide. (This is near the JKIA turnoff.)





New industrial parks around Mlolongo/Mavoko.( I also understand they are constructing BPO outsourcing call centres here.)





Suburbs springing up all over the plains of Athi river. (It's bound to be E. Africa's largest suburban sprawl given the number of housing projects here.)



New cement factory U/C. The old portland cement factory is also undergoing expansion.



Pillars for a flyover over the highway.



I think this is one of the underpasses for the Athi River/Namanga highway interchange.

City square.

Love the eating out guide, but Kenya (like south Africa) does have a large number of whites, Arabs, Asians and other non-black nationalities whose ancestors were born and raised in the country for generations. And are as Kenyan as anyone else there.

Same way Zimbabwe would have been but for circumstances.

btw, why arent there more biracial Kenyans? I find it rather puzzling that one doesnt meet so many of them. Surely Nigeria and Ghana dont have more mixed people than Kenya?

Just curious.

I hope this will settle the race issue in this thread,

Graceland,Athi River






Due to the expansion of Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, and the significant economic growth that Kenya has experienced over the last 5 years, the potential to purchase land and build apartments has become a tangible and commercial investment.

Graceland Athi River (GAR) is a Joint Venture company formed between a Kenyan company, Graceland Holdings, and a UK company Hand in Hand.

Graceland Athi River has purchased 24 acres of development land in the Athi River region of Nairobi District. This is on the Nairobi / Mombassa Road, approximately 10km from the airport. We have engaged a Kenyan architect who has designed a complex of 198 dwellings of detached and semi detached homes. We anticipate the construction project will run for 24 months, during which time we will be creating employment for over 250 Kenyans, and providing training in all aspects of construction.

you are welcome,MrCrackles
