"Nairobi" Nairobi by diosh
Nairobi Travel Guide: 627 reviews and 1,428 photos
Visiting Nairobi,one experiences the dichotomy of abject poverty,experienced by the local people and the luxury that is provided for the tourists.I found this troubling, even though I had gone with a friend on a family visit.We stayed in a 5* hotel with the largest pools in Kenya,whilst the locals had no running water.I'm hoping that the revenue we provided helped the economy of the area in some way.
- In a nutshell:Amazing cultural experience,as was my first trip outside Europe.

Diana - gorgeous animal pics, Kenya is clearly an out-of-this-world experience, and I hope to get there one day :)
Amazing pics of animals. It's still my dream to visit Kenya. Thanks for your warning tips.
NATURE AND NATURE! beautiful page dull of Nature
An amazing pic of the Crested Crane.
On my wish list, but with a Fair Trader guided group.
e didn't see Rhino or the birds, but it is a great experience seeing so many animals co-existing.
Hi Diana really great reading your page here - excellent photos that look like postcards?! and make me want to go there - to support the economy as well!Hope all is well with you there in Richmond!
Thanks diosh for your lovely pages. Actually you really make our country Kenya to be so lovely. Am proud to be a kenyan i love visitors and make them to be my friends too. Welcome.
I love Kenya, Nairobi too, tourism is a means of keeping the economy going here and sadly £25K per month they fall short now, such is the effect on tourism since the elections, the people now suffer sadly.
Great pages, tips and photo's. Sheila ant to go to Kenya and see the animals in the wild.
