Ngong Road

There are two roads that lead to the city of Nairobi from Bosco Boys, Langata Road and Ngong Road. Langata Road is faster from Bosco Boys but usually has much more traffic. So what we do is take a mutatu (public van transportation) to the area of Karen then jump on a "City Hoppa" (public bus transportation) to the city of Nairobi. It is a little longer but there is less traffic and there is more to see on the road. These are some views from the trip you would take from Karen to Nairobi on Ngong Road.


Normal homes/shops along the road.

For almost a mile stretch on the road is an area where there is about 20 shops that sell the same handmade furniture/arts. These are some metal giraffes that people weld together. They are very beautiful looking pieces of art but they wouldn't fit into our rooms at Bosco Boys so we just took a picture instead.

Some kids just hanging out along the road.

This is actually a very large building for Kenya, used probably as an apartment complex. Being able to live here would mean you are doing very very well financially. You can also see the traffic behind us on the road.

This is a shot of the furniture that people make along side the road. They have shacks next to the road where they construct everything, transport is from the shed to open space daily, and just sleep on it until someone comes to buy it.
