East Africa is a dream destination, best known for its Safari, beach and cultural experiences.
Dinner party tales of travels are even richer told by those who’ve taken time to explore the cities of the region.
It’s cities are not only the gateways to the open spaces, but are in themselves unique experiences, adding value to life, and providing the gravitas to participate as travellers as opposed to watching and seeing as tourists.
