IN CONVERSATION WITH JANA…<br />
What are your top places to visit where you<br />
live?<br />
Nairobi National Park – It’s a very unique<br />
place. Kenya is the only country in the world<br />
with a safari park inside its capital city and is<br />
home to many varieties of animals. There is<br />
nothing better than an early morning game<br />
drive followed by bush breakfast overlooking<br />
the lush green plains with giraffes walking on<br />
the horizon. If you’re not really an early bird,<br />
than an evening game drive with a<br />
sundowner on the terrace of one of the hotels<br />
facing the park will do just fine for you.<br />
Brown’s Cheese Farm – Nairobi is not only<br />
about wildlife: we have many local producers<br />
of yummy delicacies, like Brown’s Cheese. This<br />
amazing family company is a proud winner of<br />
many prestigious international awards, making<br />
their cheese one of the best in the world. To<br />
come closer to their customers, they offer<br />
farm and factory tours followed by cheese<br />
tasting and a proper farm lunch. Come<br />
hungry and wait for their dessert to be served.<br />
In my opinion the mango baobab frozen<br />
yoghurt is to die for .<br />
Kitengela Glass Factory – Situated on the<br />
edge of Nairobi National Park, this place is a<br />
paradise for art lovers and shoppers. Entering<br />
the compound of Kitengela Hot Glass &<br />
Amselm Croze, you can get lost walking on<br />
the mosaic pavements, discovering the<br />
workshops of artisans transforming recycled<br />
glass materials into works of art, jewellery or<br />
home decor objects. Hint: stop by the factory<br />
At Brown’s Cheese Farm with AWA members<br />
workshop where you can buy many items for<br />
discounted prices. Part of the village has an<br />
unusual hippie hotel with the most amazing<br />
pool, well worth a look.<br />
Kiambethu Tea Farm – If you feel like going<br />
back in time, be sure to visit Kiambethu Tea<br />
Farm. This lovely colonial house is surrounded<br />
by cushions of tea bushes and indigenous<br />
forest with medicinal<br />
plants and trees.<br />
Kenya tea is famous<br />
worldwide, and here is<br />
the place to learn<br />
everything about this<br />
delicious drink: what<br />
happens from the<br />
moment one of the<br />
skilled farmers harvests<br />
the finest green leaves<br />
until the moment you<br />
pour yourself a cuppa.<br />
And why not taste<br />
some and have an<br />
elegant lunch with a<br />
lovely host, Fiona?<br />
