Nothing beats a warm welcome into any country, the idea of having to face customs and explain your business in their country can be a daunting one but our arrival in Kenya was fantastic. We were welcomed into the country without any ques, man-handling and the $25 visa fee. Apparently the words “I’m a South African, do I really have to stand in that queue” open many doors including those into the country.
Naturally it would not have been Africa if we did not get at least one marriage proposal on our way out of customs, another sign that (Zulu's and Kenyan's are relatives). Nairobi is the land of 4x4’s and outrageous driving, with only 2 traffic lights that I counted, you in for a rude awakening if you are used to driving in places with 101 traffic signs and lights on any stretch of road. Needless to say the Kenyan parking skills are more of a laughing matter than anything else, they seem to suffer from some sort of driving disorder that does not allow them to park in between the 2 white lines. Overall if you love adventure and you are ready for whatever will head your way then Kenyan roads are for you… Just remember… We Don’t Beg, Pray or Ask on Kenyan roads we just Go!
Now onto the black truffles, if you are into trying new food and the type of meals that will leave you begging for more then read on. Mediterraneo at the Junction mall had me pleading for more and lost for words, I literally disappeared into my own world floating in a dream. I had one of their specialties for the day a lamb shank with home- made tegatelle cooked in butter and black truffles… I can still taste all the different flavours. Bless the chef and the hands that created him because that meal was pure genius.
