Exploring Karen, Nairobi and Eating All of the Things

admin — Wed, 28 Nov 2018 18:00:51 +0000

Karen is a suburb of Nairobi sort of attached on to the southwest corner of the city. It has a long history of being home to Kenyans of European descent and you’ll find a lot of giant houses tucked into the jungle and fancy cars cruising its leafy streets. I’ve even seen horses out for their daily exercise more than a few times around here.

When I was in Nairobi back in February doing research, I was staying in Spring Valley. For some reason that I can only chalk up to bad planning, I spent several days out in the Karen area either doing research or meeting up with friends for lunch or a night out. I don’t yet know if traffic is always terrible to get out here or whether it was due to some construction on Ngong Road, but those journeys out to Karen annoyed me enough not to ever want to do them again. The first time I did the trip on the back of a moto taxi which wasn’t one of my best decisions. Fast, sure. But also rather terrifying. The other times I was in a cab and felt my life wasting away as I sat in traffic. So, since I sometimes learn my lesson from experience (but only like 10% of the time, lets be honest), I decided to start this research trip to Nairobi by renting a room out in Karen so I could avoid that soul destroying commute.

And so here I am. I’m in Karen staying at the Africa International University which seems to be set within an actual jungle. Besides the hectic main roundabout, Karen is a stunning spot. When you get down some of the side roads and travel further to the south, it really does feel like you’re heading off on a jungle safari. The trees here are insane, the air is fresh, and it’s been an excellent place to hang out. I’ve been doing plenty of research but I’ve also got lots of computer work to do and the little house I’m staying in has great internet and it’s an awesome, quiet place to get annoying jobs done like re-branding my maps, creating a logo, designing business cards, making this website, and setting up annoying accounting things. By the time I move into somewhere more central in five days (hmm… I really should find a place soon), I’m hoping to have all of those tasks completed and to have my Karen research mostly completed. I’m on track and here’s what I’ve found out so far about this lovely area of Nairobi.
