@Mwanamwiwa
Ypu are doing a great job, not to mention the time and effort it takes. Hon Balala should honor you for doing a better job supplementing Kenya's tourist marketing. Now as you rendezvous around Kijabe and the RVA again, you may want to take a picture of the small chapel at the foot of the escarpment. It i small yes but resonates with lots of history since it was built by Italian prisoners of war under duress. It would continue the thread of the war monuments that peeped through the thick foliage of Nairobi photos few postings back.

You may also consider (now that there seems to be a historical streak standing out with Lamu) getting picture of the Lord Delamare, Joy Adamson's and Egerton's legacies dotting Naivasha and Nakuru areas. At your convenience of course.

I wonder what Omo thinks about the current bad light Nigeria is placed following the botched terrorist attempt to bring down North Westerner Airlines over Christmas. She should say something

If the seven days ultimatum expires and no favorable response, Nigeria should unleash Patrick Obahiagbon for a preemptive verbal assault. That will sure demonstrate Nigeria's seriousness. And for their inability to understand real or imagined "mehu mehus' who knows, the senate may just get the deserved response from America.

The woman, aged 39, was travelling on foot as part of a guided tour when the attack happened.

The four other people in the group including the woman's husband escaped unhurt after managing to run to safety.

The incident occured on Monday near the Castle Lodge in Mount Kenya National Park, where the family had been staying.

Godfrey Wakaba, a senior warden at the park said the victims' bodies had been flown to the Kenyan capital, Nairobi.

The national park with its world heritage status mountains and population of elusive forest elephants have made it a popular trekking and safari destination for tourists.

A friend is nostalgic about Nairobi's Ngara Road love a shot of that street alongside these beautiful pictures-if it is within your ability to make it possible.
By the way, what do warthogs and children have in common as to equally have the right of way above everybody/everything else in that Nairobi street?

easylogic:
A kenyan visitors Visa is obtained at the airport on arrival.it costs about 50 dollars. I am not sure whether you will be granted a 6 month VISA.

But i would advice you to look for Naija guys so as to save on costs.There is a sizable community of Nigerians in USIU university.

Otherwise Good luck.

Best thing to do. I think one Nigerian (Anthony Chinedu) owns a modest hotel in Nairobi west although he is still disputing its ownership with his Kenyan wife. At least he is one of the many Nigerians who should now take up Kenyan citizenship. there also used to be one energetic promoter called Uche Onyebadi. Don't known if he is still doing his trade in Nairobi, but was such a likable man and public figure. With similar contacts you get to save money and to sample the host country much faster with a steady knowing hand of a Nigerian who probably understands you as a Nigerian and may anticipate your needs.

Lots of Crocodile meat and other bush stuff in some fancy Nairobi joints. But most of all, you will get to see beauties you only sporadically get to see in Lagos. Calabar or Abuja. Again six days may not be sufficient to sample Kenya although it depends on your mission.If you are going for fun, it may be rained off in the next two three weeks or so going by weather projections.

Mombasa and the coast has beach fronts stretching for miles and miles with classy resorts and hotels spread out. there are private villas too. Sample some of these as shown in the other thread:

Slight correction. That is not Koinange street six postings above. it is the extension of Muindi Bingu Street stretching right up to the university way invisible in the background. Th foreground the Sexeighty intersection of Kenyatta and Muindi Bingu streets.

Kaskazi:
I just came across this site today and it blows me away. It's 40 years since I was in Kenya and it's wonderful to see the accomplishments of the intervening years. So nice to see some good news stories. We all hear much about the downside - full marks to all those showing us here the other side of the coin!

I am daring to make one or two minor points of correction. First, on this page, Mwanawiwa has a photo of the war memorial on Kenyatta Avenue. I think he will find, if he checks, that it commemorates, in the first place, those who died in the First World War, 1914-1918.

Then a couple of other things from some 20 or more pages back. First, I do not believe Mwanawiwa was correct in stating that FW de Clerk attended Nairobi (Prince of Wales) School. As far as I know, he was educated entirely in South Africa - high school in Krugersdorp and then Potchefstroom University. The family was rooted in South Africa and its politics, where his father was head of the Senate.

One other point I noticed was the statement that Kenya's State House was constructed in 1907. Certainly, there was a construction around that time, but it was not the present building, which was designed in the 1920s, like a number of prominent buildings in Nairobi, by the noted British architect Sir Herbert Baker, with construction overseen by his Nairobi-based associate, Jan Hoogterp.

Finally, I confess that so far I have only got through the first 30 pages, so perhaps this has already been covered, but I hope that the Alliance High School will be properly represented, being the distinguished school which so many of Kenya's national leaders attended. Beyond that, I hope to see more of the development of the smaller towns also.

What more can I say but to offer profound thank you for this wonderful and inspiring collection of photos. Keep it up!

You are correct in most of your observation here. But you are a bit off the mark with regard to De Clerk. I am not sure about him attending the Prince of Wales school in Nairobi. He may have. But what I am sure of is that his family had roots in Kenya before relocating to South Africa. You will recall that as he left office, De Clerk made a trip to Kenya specifically to an Eldoret church which he claimed was either constructed with the help of/or patronized by his parents or Grandparents.

Try to find out from other sources about this. So Mwanamwiwa's statement is in the vicinity of some truth.
