Markets in rural areas

The Markets are quite different from the west. Regular stores are often well secured. On a market day a wooden stand is all it takes to sell. Then there are special markets. This community near Meru specialises in bananas.(photos under pages). Scores of trucks collect bananas on Tuesdays. These are the superstore of a small community. Isles of produce to bargain from. Then there are retailers selling packets ready to go. Fresh produce worth bargaining.

Bomas visit...

Bomas Kenya at Nairobi

A visit to Bomas Kenya is part of the tour cycle to Nairobi; a large ground with a performance Dome, restaurants, shops and model villages of all tribes. The performance arena is an impressive structure, with most of the roofing by natural materials. It reminded me of some of the Log structures in Canada. Since it was off season, the audience was very limited and some of the special items were cut from production. A group of performers will perform traditional dances and music in the respective tribal attire. Some of the performances were quite enjoyable. Go under pages to view photos...
