Mombasa (and beyond)
Mombasa is a typical African industrial port city. Very hot, extremely dirty with rubbish and god knows what discarded at will everywhere. It's rich but extremely poor. We met a German doctor on 6 week mercy charity work less than 2 hours outside Mombasa he was highly shocked at how poor the conditions are for the villagers. No water little food and almost zero access to medical care. Hence him being there.

However we decided to go out of the city as it's void of anything worth looking at. Again although Kenya has a bad rep the people we met were extremely kind and friendly. No issues there. Ironically we passed the hotel l stayed at back in the mid 90's on the beach front.

China is building a massive new motorway and our driver said the Chinese are investing heavily in Kenya. USA and the west are fast losing any influence in Africa to the Chinese at an alarming rate.
