What amazing photos. I lived in Kenya in 1981/82/83 and these photos brought back many memories. The animals, roads and parks have shown little change although I did not recognise many of the buildings in Nairobi. Many thanks. The photos put to shame my few transparencies on 1980s film with 36 shots per roll and expensive production cost.

Wow, that was amazing!
I have not gone back to Kenya for a while and those pictures just brought the memories back. You guys took pictures of the real Nirobi-from the streets to the wilderness.
I'm speechless. They were wonderful and I hope to see more soon.
Keep up the good work.

THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES!
THE WORD, "HARAMBE" MEANS "PULL TOGATHER" IN TODAYS SWAHILI, HOWEVER, IT IS MADE OF TWO HINDI WORD 'HARE' AND 'AMBE' FOR THE TWO OF MANY HINDU GODS. HARAMBE WAS USE BY THE INDIAN WORKERS WHO WERE BROUGHT TO EAST AFRICA BY THE BRITISH TO BUILD THE RAILWAY. TO LIFT THE HEAVY LOAD OF BUILDING THE RAILWAYS THROUGH THE WILD JUNGLES OF AFRICA IN THE LATE 1800s THE FOREIGN WORKERS USE THE WORD AND HAVE EVOLVED INTO A BEAUTIFUL SWAHILI WORD.

I am Homesick and already nostalgic while in distance lands, the poly picture reminds me the 5yrs I spent for my Diploma and higher natinal diploma in the applied sciences department, indeed the knowledge I acquired from Poly prepared me a lot. For those of us in western world we can use this to counter the skewed image about Afrika by western media. Some building look even better than most that I have seen in Washington DC!

Hi Brian,

I'm a Kenyan living in Sacramento. I havent been home in over 8 years so I'm more than a little nostalgic. I'm amazed at how well you covered Kenya. Thank you for capturing and sharing the beauty and pain that makes Kenya the country it is. You have given me ideas to add to my itinerary when I go home at the end of this year.

Hi, I am a Kenyan whose been living in South Africa for 16 years. I feel I really do not my country that much. I love you photos. They are so beautiful, clear and make me feel home sick. I do go to Kenya often and am motivated to visit some of the areas that you have visited. In South Africa, I have a wonderful collection of photos that I take during my travels. Hopefully I can share them with those interested. Tonny Fadhili Kambi Masha

I think the site is good but its too shallow it really doesnt represent the whole of kenya .But thanks for coming to our country Brian atleast you are better than those who bark from afar with out even having set foot on the land .You are welcome again.

Thank you, Carole, for your detailed feedback. As I have only visited a small part of Kenya, these pages cannot represent the entire country. Rather, they cover only those areas of the country which I visited while travelling. The primary purpose of my travels in Kenya, when I am not working, is to view the abundant wildlife. As I return to Kenya and East Africa in the future, hopefully my coverage of the "real" Kenya will become more complete.

I agree with those who have sent comments on this site as being too narrow to give a correct view of Kenya. it generalizes the people of Kenya making the assumption that capturing kids in the slums or the masai represents the people of Kenya. Unlike the West, Africa and Kenya at that is too diverse to be generalized. Thus if one has no time to travel and capture the picture, they should correctly indicate only what the saw. For example, the masai as one of the communities in Kenya that has kept much of the tradition ( I salute them for doing that since the rest of us have not). So please be specific of what you present on the website so that the person visiting your site knows that what they are seeing is just a potion. Again I don’t understand why the west is determined to show only an aspect of Africa? Does it satisfy their stereotype? Or is it so different from their own that its amusing? I really wish that was all there was to Africa but unfortunately not and I wish the world could understand that.
