The best place to go on a safari that "can" be close to South African prices AND has a direct flight from USA is Kenya.. 🇰🇪🦏🦁🐆🦒🦓🇰🇪 In case you are looking for an alternative option after the murders in Kruger National Park.

I looked at Public Debts for Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia 2025. Kenya US$ 100 Billion ( KShs 12.8 Trillion) Tanzania US$ 46 Billion ( KShs 5.9 Billion) Ethiopia US$ 51 Billion ( KShs 6.5 Billion). Note that Public Debts for Ethiopia and Tanzania are 50% of Kenyas Public Debt. It is difficult to tell where Kenya's KShs 12.8 Trillion was used. I will analyse looking at major Projects the 3 Countries have undertaken since 2002 when the three has almost same Public Debts at US$ 7 Billion. I will look at Kenya last. Tanzania: 1. US$ 10 Billion Shs 1 Trillion 2,300km Standard Gauge Railway Dar Dodoma Mwanza Kigoma linking Rwanda Burundi DRC 2. US$ 3.6 Billion Julius Nyerere Hydro Power Plant 2115 MW 3. US$ 260 Million JPM Magufuli 3.2km Bridge Lake Victoria. 4. Dar es Salaam BRT US$ 332 Million 5. Kigamboni Bridge US$ 136 Million. 6. US$ 550 my Kinyerezi 400MW Gas Turbines Total US$ 14.8 Billion ( Shs 1.28 Trillion) If you consider Tanzania has built more Bitumen Roads (15,000kms versus 9,500km for Kenya), already about 50% of the Foreign Debt is accounted for. And Julius Nyerere HPP was funded largely from Exchequer. Similarly more than 50% of SGR was funded from Exchequer. Ethiopia: 1. US$ 5 Billion Grand Renaissance Dam 5150 MW 2. US$ 4 Billion 750 km Addis Djibouti Electrified SGR 3. US$ 1.7 Billion Awash Woldia SGR 425 km 4. You can't ignore Ethiopian Airlines, one of the biggest in the World with 150 Aircraft with 70 Wide Body Aircraft 100% Govt owned. At US$ 250 Million each, that is at a minimum US$ 20 Billion US$ 12.7 Billion KShs 2.66 Trillion. Again already about 50% of the Public Debt is accounted for. And they can even fund GERD US$ 5 Billion from Exchequer. Kenya 1. US$ 3.26 Billion 600km SGR Mombasa Suswa 2. Olkaria Power Stations US$ 1.3 Billion 3. US$ 360 40km Thika Superhighway 4. US$ 800 Nairobi Expressway 5. US$ 400m Dongo Kundu 17km Total US$ 6.12 KShs 783 Billion. When you compare with Shs 12.8Trilliin Debt,bthus is a mere 6% you can see. I can't think of a Major Project the size of Julius Nyerere HPP or GERD in Ethiopia that Kenya has funded from internal resources the last 25 years. Remember Kenya has borrowed KShs 6.4 Trillion more than either of those two countries. Moreover Tanzania has 15,000 km Bitumen Roads more than Kenya at 9,500km The ex Pres. Uhuru Kenyatta opined that about KShs 2B ( US$ 17 million) was being stolen everyday during his tenure. It is not far from the truth. If you consider Tanzania is almost double the size of Kenya and people live everywhere. Kenya, we live in only 30% of the Country. So Tanzania has more Roads, Population and Public services compared to Kenya. Ideally Kenya's annual Budget should be half of Tanzania. Instead it is 1.5 times bigger That is about Shs 1 Trillion 'lost' annually. This problem started after 2002 because the Public Debts were the same in the 3 Countries at US$ 7 Be each. The mistake in Kenya is probably the choice of Political System. We chose Democracy where the one who does a better public circus gets elected. So you can end up with more than 90% of elected representatives with a dubious background who can lead a country into the abyss. Unlike Ethiopia and Tanzania who tend to have Technocratic high quality leadership because of their Socialist past. If you look at Kenyan Politicians the last 20 years and see who could make it in CCM Tanzanian leadership, very very few can make it. And today, Kenya cannot do any minor Project without borrowing. And we are still promoting PPPs as if it is free money. Useless PPPs like Motor Vehicle Inspections, Speed Cameras, Africa50, Adani etc So long as Foreigners are doing the PPPs, it is a burden on the KShs and they will have to be paid in US$ FOREX. Kenya needs now to start thinking about whether the choices of Democracy and Devolution were a mistake. At the moment, Kenya's future is bleak and nobody seems to have a clue on how to reverse.

@mmnjug Clear Govt propaganda

Who dis?

The latest propaganda being pushed around UDA and 2027 is very simple. They want Kenyans to believe that the election is already gone, that Ruto will rig, that voting will not matter, that registration is useless and that the people should enter 2027 already defeated in their minds. That is why you are seeing this “they will rig” line being sponsored and amplified everywhere, including by sections of the media that have become very friendly to this regime. NTV itself has carried the framing of UDA leaders allegedly plotting to rig 2027, showing how loud this narrative has become in public conversation. To be honest, the optics of serious, countrywide rigging are too heavy for this regime. This is a government that cannot repair potholes, cannot manage fuel prices, cannot manage schools, cannot manage hospitals, cannot manage salaries, cannot even explain simple taxes without creating anger. You really believe the same confused regime has the intelligence, discipline, secrecy and technical sophistication to manage a clean nationwide rigging operation without being caught? Rigging a presidential election is not like bribing a few brokers in a hotel or manipulating a small party nomination. A national election has agents, polling stations, forms, constituency tallying centres, observers, media, screenshots, live streams, parallel tallies and millions of angry citizens watching every number. The moment Kenyans realize even one vote does not tally, this country will enter a crisis bigger than anything this regime can control. That is why I believe this “he will rig anyway” chorus is not just a warning. It is psychological warfare meant to kill voter registration, kill turnout and create apathy. It is also meant to make young people say, “Why vote if they will steal it?” That is exactly where they want you mentally. The real answer is not to stay home but massive registration, massive turnout, agents in every polling station, parallel tallying, civic vigilance and zero fear. Elections are not stolen from people who are awake, organized and watching every vote. Elections are stolen from people who were discouraged before the first ballot was even cast. So don’t fall for the propaganda. The vote still matters, registration matters, turnout mattes and polling station vigilance matters.

@Kenyans In a layman’s context…Ethiopia is like a fast-moving Probox accelerating at 100 km/h, while Kenya is a large heavy commercial truck moving at 50 km/h. The Probox is moving faster right now but the truck is still carrying a much heavier & more valuable load.

Kenya is projected to record 4.5% real GDP growth in 2026, ranking 24th in Africa, as Ethiopia leads the continent with an expected growth rate of 9.2%, according to the IMF #KenyansData

On matters fuel: Murkomen alipunguza 10 bob. Ruto leo amepunguza 10 bob. Kindiki, si ata wewe upunguze hata 5 bob bana. 😂

Btw I’m no prophet 😂😂

Mr Mwangi seems to be correct - DRC will overtake Kenya in a couple of years.

Hilarious but tactical. Flying mantis has also sneaked back in Mombasa.

Mombasa High Court halts a controversial Ksh 17 Billion waste management deal signed by Governor Abdulswamad Nassir’s administration with Ghana's Jospong Group. This follows a petition by Nyali MP Mohamed Ali (Jicho Pevu), who alleges massive corruption, lack of public participation, and zero county assembly approval.

EXCLUSIVE: Liverpool have reportedly decided to part ways with Arne Slot at the end of the season, with the board no longer planning for him to remain manager for the 2026/27 campaign. The club had initially been willing to give Slot more time, but following discussions with senior players over the weekend, a final decision was made. #LFC @ChrisRoyceWords

June 1st is in 10 days. Unless you deploy Hogwarts sioni mkitoboa hio deadline ... anyway, Wajir imetosheka na maji?

EXCLUSIVE: The Liverpool board have decided NOT to continue with Arne Slot as manager for the 26/27 season. Having previously opted to give Slot more time to turn things around, the decision to sack Slot was made over the weekend following conversations with senior players. #LFC

KeNHA closed Chiromo Road for months. @KeNHAKenya DG I want you to look at these pictures and explain to Kenyans with a straight face how a road you just repaired has potholes before the paint is even dry. This is not incompetence. Incompetence is accidental. This is deliberate. You used substandard materials knowing exactly what would happen because the same road will need repair again and the same tender will be issued again and the same people will eat again. The pothole is not a mistake. The pothole is your business model. 😐 #CentralFocus
