ʻO Kenya kekahi o nā wahi maikaʻi loa ma ka Honua. Nui ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi e pīhoihoi i kēia wahi ʻē i kēlā me kēia lā, ua waiwai nui i ka nani. Mai nā kahakai one o Mombasa a me nā kiʻi nani o ke awāwa ʻo Great Rift a hiki i nā holoholona hihiu, ʻo Kenya kahi ʻāina kūpono e kipa aku i hoʻokahi manawa i ke ola. E nānā pono kākou i ke ʻano a me ka moʻomeheu o kēia ʻāina e hāʻawi mai iā kākou. Mahalo i ka hui ʻana o nā moʻomeheu like ʻole, mai Masai a i Swahili, a me ka hui pū ʻana o nā moʻomeheu ʻē aʻe a pau o ka ʻāina, e ʻike ʻoe i kona ʻano like ʻole. Hoʻokipa maikaʻi nā Kenyans, a he mea ʻakaʻaka kā lākou mau loina iā ʻoe. Uaʻikeʻia lākou no ko lākou manaʻo ponoʻole i ka poʻe e pili ana iā lākou,ʻo ia hoʻi, ua pili loa ka poʻe o nā kaiāulu, aloha a mākaukau e kōkua. No nā haole, hele mai ke ola ma Kenya me ke kūʻokoʻa. ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ma nā ʻāina he nui ke ola ʻia e ka helu pau ʻole o nā lula a me nā mea paʻa pono e helu ʻia. ʻOiai ma Kenya hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i ka nani o ke ola, ka mea i kapa ʻia ʻo "ma waho o ka ʻōnaehana". He mālie a ana ʻia ka puʻupuʻu ma ʻaneʻi. Me ka ulu mau ʻana o ka ʻoihana, ʻo Kenya ke kapikala o East Africa a hāʻawi i nā manawa hoʻolimalima he nui. He liʻiliʻi nā haole i koho iā Kenya i ko lākou noho mau. I ka manawa like, nui ka poʻe, e noʻonoʻo ana i ke ola ma ʻApelika, hopohopo i ko lākou palekana a me ka maikaʻi. He mea pono e hoʻomaopopo ʻaʻole i komo ʻo Kenya i kahi kaua kīwila, kahi e lilo ai ia i ʻāina kūpaʻa e pili ana i nā ʻāina ʻē aʻe o ʻApelika.

Inā makemake ʻoe e moe ma ke kai i ka wā e inu ana i kahi Pinacolada a i ʻole ʻoe he mea hoʻokalakupua kūlohelohe, ma Kenya e loaʻa iā ʻoe ka manawa e ʻike i nā mea ʻelua me ka ʻole e hele mamao. ʻO ka hapa nui o nā haole i makemake i ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Mombasa no kona mau kahakai nani a me ke anuanu, ʻaʻohe ʻano hustle a me ka haʻalulu e like me ke kapikala o ka ʻāina - Nairobi. Ma ke ala, e pili ana i ke aniau. He mea wela a hoihoi ia i ka poe luhi i ke anu a me ka hau o na latitu akau. ʻAʻohe pono o ka ʻaʻahu, nā kāmaʻa a me nā ton o nā lole, no ka mea e loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi maʻi o ka lā wela o ka hema a me ke kino tanned. No ka poʻe aloha i ka mākaʻikaʻi mauna, loaʻa iā Kenya kekahi mea e hāʻawi ai. ʻO ka mauna ʻo Kenya, kokoke i ka mauna kiʻekiʻe loa ma ʻApelika - Kilimanjaro, e lanakila ana iā lākou, e uhi ʻia ʻoe me ka nalu adrenaline maoli. He mau wahi no ka poe pii pohaku e like me ko lakou makemake. ʻO ka ʻala ʻono o ka kī Kenyan, ka manaʻo o ka pili a me ka lokahi, ʻo kēia mau manaʻo āpau āu e aloha ai i ka hoʻomanaʻo ʻana i kahi ʻāina maikaʻi o ʻApelika. E ʻoluʻolu, ʻaʻohe manawa pōkole ma Kenya!
