Fun for kids in Kenya

By Ory Okolloh

During my last trip to Kenya, I realized that next time around I need to do more fun stuff with the kids instead of just shuttling them around to visit one rela to the next (and the Spur and Village Market doesn’t count). Beyond trying to catch up with family, I’m also guilty of trying to sneak in quite a bit of work and catching up and not spending enough time just chilling out and enjoying being back in Nairobi/Kenya. Then there’s the problem of having grown up as a “go out and play!” / create your own entertainment estate kid, where your parents’ involvement in entertaining you was limited to nyama choma and Shade/JKA/Hillock/Small World on Sunday So when I land in Nairobi with two kids, my imagination as far as what to do with them is limited (and I’ve found my friends there to be similarly handicapped…or to use the trusty clutch of the “club”).

Anywho, I’ve promised myself that the next trip home will be relaxing and enjoyable for all of us (Sunday at Tamasha doesn’t count hehehe), and so I was very happy to come across this link today with great ideas on stuff to do with kids in Kenya including short trips around the country and picnic sites where you can explore Mau Mau caves.

On y va!
