Leaving Ong'ata Rongai for Nairobi


Leaving Nairobi for Arusha, Tanzania

first night in africa

I spent my first night/day in Africa in Ong'ata Rongai, 25km from Nairobi, at a stranger's home. Call it a suburb or slum, I slept well. I was welcomed with hot rice and milk by candlelight. There was no electricity when I was there. I slept on the couch. The woman who hosted me calls herself Mama Edna. She's a relative to my friend Daudi. Many thanks to her for waiting for me faithfully at NBO the night I arrived. My camera loved her beautiful daughter Edna.
