It’s jarring af to see a million people walking on the roadway same as the cars:gucci:

I’m sure everyone knows about the East Africans and their massive foreheads, not one looker on my stay. To be fair, I didn’t get to go out at night as I was exhausted from the day activities.

Safari and whitewater rafting were cool though

I give it a 6-7, won’t be returning

Looks like a nice city. Didn't expect it to have that many people. Don't know much about these African cities. But this one looks interesting. Looks like they got animals nearby too. Don't know how I feel about that tho. Be walking around the city and all of a sudden a lion pulls up right alongside you. :merchant:

Gave it an 8, probably should be a 7.5

Definitely one of the better SS African coties out there. Good nightlife, nice history and pretty accessible. A lot of young people out there making moves.

I will say this though, I found Kenya to have a very large expat population in a lot of the better night life spots. Take that as you may.

EDIT: Nyama Choma is :whew:

Will be back.

The city does look very beautiful, Africa is currently the fastest growing continent population wise so a lot of the cities are experiencing a huge population boom. The animals are mostly confide to the national parks outside the region so you don’t really have to worry about a lion coming up to you in the streets lol.

Doubt lions would but the baboons def pull up and will sit on your car. I have a pic somewhere of a poor lady standing by while a baboon was just chilling on top of her car.

:dead: we do have big foreheads.

But there a lot of cuties in Nairobi. Nairobi has one of the best nightlifes of anywhere and this when the women come out. Kenyan’s genuinely love to party.

Can’t wait to visit this summer.

Yeah seems like it is. Especially during this century. Not much knowledge of the cities cuz the media doesn't really say much about them and it being a different culture, don't really check for them like that. But the cities out there are nice from what I've seen posted on here and elsewhere online. I'm sure they'll continue to grow and become even more advanced as the time passes. Looks like I was right about the city growing over the last century.

Kenya’s capital city has risen in a single century from a brackish uninhabited swampland to a thriving modern capital.



Gonna have to add it to my African bucket list.
