Because my flight from London to Kenya landed in Nairobi, the city naturally became my first stop on my Kenya tour.
My impression of Nairobi - which nearly everyone who tours Kenya seems to get, I gather, is that Nairobi is a complex city, where immense affluence lives side to side with dire poverty, sophistication with simplicity and modernity with the past.
The information I got from a blog run by someone who apparently tours Kenya very regularly (to which I gained access by entering the Internet search term 'travel Kenya') came in very handy in helping me make sense of Nairobi.
Indeed were it not for the resources I got through such search terms like 'travel Kenya' and 'tours Kenya' I would have gotten hopelessly lost in Nairobi, which while quite a small city by American standards, seems so different.
I got time to visit the city's museum, archives, game (with - believe it or not - wildlife roaming within the geographical confines of the city), a market and even had a stroll through the university.
I photographed the city - to serve as memory of my Kenya tour - from a good vantage point on the city's recreational Uhuru Park.
Fro the Nairobi part of my Kenya tour, I stayed in a mid cost hotel right in the center of the city, whose services and facilities were quite good - at least better than anything I could have expected in the deep of Africa.
