John Young recalls Nairobi life in the White Highlands area where flamingoes crowd a lake and tourists by camera-slung buses create noise and stink. He reflects on lingering colonial scenes at a country club bar and European expatriates, African workers, and aging expectations as locals contemplate emigration.
A wary traveler in Nairobi describes drizzle, cool highland air, and a cosmopolitan scene. He notes Thika as the Manchester of Kenya, coffee estates and processing beans, and a Kenya moving past stereotypes as Kikuyu crowds flow to church on Sunday. A giraffe greets near the equator as Mount Kenya looms ahead.
A travelogue strolls through Nairobi National Park near the city center with misty mountain views, Masai roadside elegance, and a night club interlude. The piece blends Kenya travel scenes, Mombasa delights, and glimpses of local life, ending with credits for Christina Lake and Malcolm MacDonald's Treasure of Kenya.
A traveler describes the long drive from the coast road to Mombasa. The route is mostly paved since independence and offers magnificent scenery with giraffes by the roadside and the night sky over the mountains. Drivers face unforeseen obstacles, including a bull and his harem delaying a fellow passenger for more than three hours.
