 Kenya and my Kikuyu firends November 23, 2007
Erika Warren (Phoenix, Arizona, USA)
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
I spent three months in Kenya living with people from the Kikuyu tribe working at an orghanage in Dagoretti Market. I wish I had read this book before going. Now I have a better understanding of Kenya and it's wonderful people. When I go back next year I will take the book and hopefully improve my ability to integrate closer. I still know very few words in Kikuyu!
Thank you for the information in this well written book.
 Kenya culture smart is great January 24, 2010
Larry Hartke (Rockville, MD USA)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have a fair amount of experience working and traveling in Kenya, and I think the author has hit all the main issues a visitor should be aware of. It's not hard to get along in Kenya as long as one doesn't try to push western standards onto everything that occurs. This book will speed up the adjustment for anyone wanting to spend some time in one of the most beautiful and challenging countries on earth.

I ordered this book to get a bit more insight on the country since we are traveling there this summer on a mission trip. Our family found it easy to read and so interesting. I feel I am even more prepared for an amazing trip within a beautiful country and it's special people.
