Travel in a country that is plagued by ethnic conflict is not an easy thing to do. That's about what I experienced when I entered Kenya. I crossed by public bus from the Kenya-Tanzania border in the village of Taveta to Mombasa through Tsavo National Park.

I only lasted three days in Mombasa and only one photo was taken in this city, the mombasa photo of the Memorial Cathedral whose architecture is similar to a mosque. After the attack by Mombasa street children against me, I thought leaving this city was the best choice.

From the city of Mombasa I headed to the city of Nairobi which is famous for its awesomeness as a pirate city by night bus. Riding the night bus is quite scary for those unfamiliar with soldiers who carry weapons into the bus. three days in this city, I was targeted several times by con artists, pirates, and homeless people. The situation is chaotic in Kenya and the danger of robbery makes me a little confused when to remove the camera at the right time. some traveler friends experience camera convulsions in broad daylight in Nairobi. I think twice about taking photos in this country. the photo I took in this city is just a photo of a dance performance at a cultural fitness center in the suburbs of Nairobi.

My journey continued to the Kenya-Uganda border in Busia, and my journey ended in Kenya. A short trip in a country that was hit by conflict at that time.
