New Jambo Taxis

Posted by nathaliapendo 1 January 2008

Grace of New Jambo Taxis is a female taxi driver; as a woman travelling alone she made me feel safe and was very helpful generally.
She has an office at the airport, but give her a call and she'll pick you up.

visiting Kibera

Posted by bigcheetah 1 October 2007

Kibera is the largest slum in the whole of Africa. Do not go there by the local taxi because you won't see much of it. A local who lives in Kibera should be your tour guide, that's what I did when I visited it in August 2007. Kibera is definitely a fascinating place. I have lots of pics from inside Goma, Soweto and Kibera.

Fairview Hotel

Posted by bladeaway 1 September 2007

A green and pleasant oasis, acres of gardens, country house architecture, and good food. Family-run proves far better than the usual chain product. Just ignore the rotary club gatherings and remember it's the 21st century.

This is an organisation that saves orphaned elephants and rhinos, and rehabilitates them out into the wild. They also run community outreach programmes, a desnaring project and mobile veterinary unit.

You can visit the centre daily in Nairobi National Park. The visit will allow you to get up close to these magnificent animals and see them play.

Sponsoring an elephant or rhino costs $50 US per year. You can sponsor an elephant via: www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org

Near the Karen area of Nairobi.
