What stood out was just how many domestic tourists were there. It was a huge number since we had to queue for a couple of minutes to pay. I did not see a white face in sight. As soon as we went in I noticed people of somali extraction also being quite present. We went around and we came to the monkey cage/place where i found a couple of people feeding the monkeys and posing for photos! it struck me as odd since from the first time I did my first national park visit I remember the instructions DON'T FEED THE ANIMALS. Why were these people doing this? did they not read? do they not know that they could be harming the animal? It struck me as odd. Last saturday, I decided to take out the famo to the Safari walk. It has always been a favourite place to visit ever since i brought myself to Nairobi. I was there when rangers was open, then it closed then it opened again... but the last time I was there was possibly 2 years ago. I decided it would be a nice place to take a visitor to the country 'ajionee wanyama'. first stop... Rangers Restaurant - shock on me... it closed... I looked like an idiot - but I guess i could have googled before that. so we decide to eat at that small restaurants next to the safari walk gate and it had terrible service! from taking orders to getting food wrong and late to a number of small small issues here and there. I took it in stride since 'TIA' and went into the safari walk... kujionea wanyama and I noticed things were a bit run down.......... For a moment I thought you were me! The Safari walk is run down and is quite embarassing. Last year I took a jungu lady there and she was not amused esp with the littering....she was infact furious! it's TERRIBLE! some cultural shift has to take place... we cannot continue this way.

And if you read, did you really understand? Right there the writer is betraying his own rotten kind of attitude. With this kind of tribalism ati “Somali”… Why Somali in particular? Why didn’t he says Luhyia, or Kale, or Kamba, or Kikuyu, or Masai? How does he go ahead and write about KWS? @alph, no. 1. i forgot to mention that the dude who was feeding the Monkey was of somali origin! taking photos akipatia tumbili chakula! To be fair the other guys taking photos while feeding the girrafe were not somalis! so cancel out hiyo statement but pia Sikukuwa nimewahi ona wasomali wengi hivyo kwa game park/orphanage before. @simonKabz... hiyo place imekuwa MBAYA!!! @masukuma okay sawa. I just don't like tribalism. I'm not a Somali, I'm one of the other 41 Kenyan tribes. But I think belonging to a tribe is good, it gives identity, it is for knowing each, and it is for variety, but being tribal is one of the decay I dislike.

Expect this decay on everything that has 0 on maintainance. Alafu ongeza ushamba wa wakenya who will not eat in restaurants but in parks, buses and everywhere else.

My biggest disappointment is one can nolonger pet the cheetahs, while taking photos! Since Mutua's kid was bitten... and he sued! Kwani the kid was petting the teeth?  But there is a hook-up for baby lions  @Masukush, there is the staff vibandas on the far left of the entrances. Follow the foot-path going to their housing. Chakula murwa sana.

Why blow a fuse when Somalis are mentioned but never point a finger when okuyu-bashing is going on? You are more of a hypocrite than anything else. TULIA.........UFUNZWE!
