[@wanjirukinuthia6599]

Unfortunately though, the history of this place is land grabbing, eviction and mistreatment of the original land owners by the settler colonialists. The Tigoni people were moved to Lari around 1928. They were awarded 1.5 acres of land for every 1 acre taken but the quality of land in the two places is not the same. There was also alot of pragmatic politics among the collaborator chiefs who took the best land in Lari. Many people were disadvantaged and some even forcefully evicted. This land issue was the root cause for the Lari Massacre in 1953. Read David Anderson: Histories of the Hanged ( Britain's dirty War in Kenya and the End of Empire) for more insight

Brackenhurst Resort used to be the country home of the British Colonial Governor-Generals of Kenya before our independence. Tigoni and its's environs used to be known as the White Highlands where some of the British colonialists built their country homes away from Nairobi. One can easily mistake if for an English Country side somewhere in Yorkshire, England. The area can be cold and in fact when you built a house here you'll need to include a chimney to keep the house warm.

Wow very picturesque... Problem is at the rate Nairobi is developing & expanding all this beauty will vanish & turn into jungle blocks. Remember Runda used to be the same 30 or 40 yrs ago... The Kenyan govt should create a buffer zone so as to protect this wonderful ecosystem..

[@AFRICANTIGRESS]

I agree

[@lindsieodhiambo4669]

I disagree, zoning is highly observed in Kenya especially in residential areas with strict associations. Old runda looks the same, new runda has modern houses but still highly regulated. There's a minimum acreage division observed in Karen as well.

[@maryalice5772]

@@lindsieodhiambo4669 Nairobi city actually doesn't have zones. Those that are there were put in place in the 70s and clearly there's nobody to enforce said rules. Look at upper hill. it was zoned for something else and is now a commercial hub. In Runda it's the neighbourhood's association that regulates itself. But this is actually meant to be the government's job

[@jacaranda100]

I agree with you. The concrete jungle that Nairobi has become gives me headaches! I am a sucker for nature. Trees, grass, flowers, streams, oceans, birds chirping, you name it. Let's just hope that the masses will not turn this beautiful place into a cabro and concrete eyesore.

[@esem135]

@@teresiawachira1034 Most Africans get surprised when they land in Kenya, you even wonder what’s the surprise. Others who thrive and believe in the negatives, mostly exaggerated lies have a very poor image of Kenya. People assume Kenya is just full of wildlife walking all over the streets, slums and starving people. They do not realize there are Kenyans who has never seen a lion for instance. They do not know of the beautiful beaches in Kenya and the many positives Kenya has, including agriculture being Kenya’s largest earner in the economy, yet most people assume it is tourism. The shock is that even with social media, the comments can still be very depressing because of the stereotypes and misinformation over the years. People seriously need to travel beyond their borders.
