Hakuna Matata Kenya Part 1 Nairobi, the capital of the magical land of Kenya and the most influential city in East Africa, is also the most vibrant place in Kenya. Before heading to see the magnificent nature of Kenya, we begin our journey in the changing city of Nairobi. Take a ride on a matatu, Kenya's means of transportation, in the middle of the city. The interior of the 'matatu', a means of transportation with sensational graffiti, is decorated with various high-tech devices such as monitors, speakers, and lasers. Here, we meet ‘Mohammed’, a famous matatu designer, watch his magical work process, and hear his honest story about how happy he is to be able to do this job. Next is the indispensable attraction of travel, gourmet enjoyment! We visit a restaurant to taste ‘Nyama Choma’, a dish loved by Kenyans. Nyama Choma is a variety of meat grilled over charcoal and is delicious. Visit a site where waste tires and slipper soles are reborn into wonderful shoes and crafts, and listen to the vivid voices of Kenyans who want to protect nature. After leaving Nairobi, the traveler headed to Hell's Gate National Park, which Kenyans are proud of! Take a trip back to ancient times by riding a bicycle in this beautiful place with unique cliffs and wide fields. #World Theme Travel #Hakuna Matata #Kenya #Kenyan Transportation #Matatu #Food Loved by Kenyans #Nyama Choma #Petair Shoes #Petair Artwork #Hells Gate National Park Hakuna Matata Kenya Part 2 In Search of the Mountain of Light Kenya The mountains were the home of life for primitive tribes, including the Kikuyu people. While on the way to Mount Kenya, which is called 'Kirinyaga', or 'Mountain of Light' in the Kikuyu language, an unexpected situation occurs when the car's coolant boils and the car stops. The driver just waited for the coolant to cool down and suddenly took out his guitar as he had no other choice. As I excitedly sang ‘Hakuna Matata’ and the Kenyan folk song ‘Jambo’, the car started moving again. After many twists and turns, we arrived at Mount Kenya National Park! We meet Peter, who has been working as a guide for Mt. Kenya for 25 years, and ask about the topographical characteristics of Mt. Kenya. We overcome the fatigue of the journey with a flower we met on a never-ending ridge. Next, we meet the Kikuyu tribe who guard the waterfall at Thompson Falls, which boasts a huge 73m height, and head to the Kikuyu tribe village where the festival is held. In a Kikuyu village where strangers are welcomed by singing and dancing in the Kikuyu native language, you can feel the efforts of those trying to preserve their unique traditions. #Kenya Mountain National Park #Kenyan Folk Song #Jambo #Thompson Falls #Kikuyu Village Hakuna Matata Kenya Part 3 Island Village Diary The inconvenience of having to take an airplane to go to Lamu Island, the cradle of Swahili civilization and a place with natural beauty, located in eastern Kenya. There is a feeling. However, once you arrive, the island is so beautiful and mysterious that you quickly forget the hardships of the trip! In the old town of Lamu Island, where the alleys are tangled like a maze, take a leisurely tour of the town on a donkey, the only means of transportation here, and then take a boat to Manda Island, which is said to be responsible for the coral stones in the Lamu Island area. On Manda Island, you meet people who work in quarries, make sails for dhows, catch fish, and live a simple life. We meet one of the fishermen and follow him fishing at night. We join in their daily routine of fishing on a boat every night and selling fish in the morning. #Lamu Island #Manda Island #Coral Stone #Night Fishing #Mangrove Crab Catching #Ocean Gas Station #Dhow Sail Hakuna Matata Kenya Part 4 Flame Bird on the Lake Kenya, located in the East African Rift Valley, the longest canyon in the world, has a huge ecosystem. In particular, 'Lake Bogoria', the habitat of flamingos, which means "firework" in Spanish, attracts travelers and boasts a beautiful appearance. Although the number of flamingos has decreased due to climate change, standing in the middle of the lake and watching a flock of flamingos flapping their wings can make you feel like you are in a pink dream. To maintain this spectacular sight, we meet an NGO that plants 50,000 to 100,000 trees a year, join them in planting trees, and feel their thoughts as they think about the future of their descendants. In front of the magnificent nature of Nakuru National Park, which was also the filming location for the movie 'Out of Africa', the message 'We do not own it.' We end this journey by reflecting on the meaning of the movie's famous line, 'It's only passing by'. #Lake Baringo #People planting trees #Lake Bogoria #Flamingo #Nakoru National Park
