Jambo! (Means Hello in Swahili, the official language of Kenya)
As we know from history classes, Kenya (east of Africa, the Horn of Africa ") was a British colony in the era of imperialist expansion late nineteenth century. When you step on Jomo Kenyatta Airport (the name of the first President of the Republic of Kenya, independent from Britain since 1963), comes with all the cultural baggage received in Europe. You think you get to an African country where you will see poverty, hunger, insecurity ... Some of it is, of course, but mostly what you catch when visits the country (despite being in tourist plan is different than living day to day) is the dignity of African people.
Kenya is struggling to survive. Tourism has mostly, but there are many projects to boost agriculture (cultivation of flowers and greenhouse products, legumes ....) Culture shock is very large. As in all emerging countries, communication is horrible. Do not think that there are traffic lights or roundabouts, no, this is a jungle, never better. Bumpy roads, dusty roads ... people forward in a reckless manner, I thought we did not. Sales
Nairobi (a city of 3, 5 million) and Nature breaks through. We visited the Samburu tribe of the north, the Aberdares National Park, Lake Nakuru with flamingos, Masai-Mara and Masai tribe (a people strong, proud, intelligent). Open space that never ends. Lions, ostriches, buffalo, giraffes, birds ... one step away from us (we could not leave the van roof open, but you could almost touch them). Africa
smell flowers, wood and earth. The sunsets are breathtaking, Africa has a unique light. And the African people, kind, proud, happy ... Guys, Europe has an outstanding debt to Africa.
If you go to the continent with open eyes and heart never you forget.
As they say in Kenya, Hakuna Matata! No problem! Can not imagine how much they have to teach the Africans, because sometimes we do not appreciate that the most valuable things in life are smaller and simpler. Prof
