Do these questions sound familiar?

Is Kenya safe?
And what do I do if it isn’t?

  • What do I do if the police stop me?
  • How can I tell whether a taxi is genuine?
  • What do I do if my phone or passport is gone?
  • Am I paying too much right now because I’m a tourist?

Most travel guides show you what to see. I show you how to react the right way in Kenya.

I won’t give you a safety guarantee. Nobody can honestly give you one. I give you a plan for the moment something goes wrong.

About me

Grew up in Kitui.
At home in Basel.

I don’t know Kenya from a resort, I know it from the street. And I check it with Swiss precision.

  1. 01
    Village kid from Kabati

    Grew up in the village of Kabati in Kitui County, without electricity or running water. I know how Kenya works away from the tourist trail.

  2. 02
    Street and Sheng

    I didn’t learn Swahili and Sheng, Nairobi’s street language, in a course but in the matatu. I know the tricks and the unwritten rules.

  3. 03
    Swiss view

    Today I live in Basel and travel to Kenya regularly. I know the questions and worries of travellers from Switzerland, Germany and Austria.

An old friend in Nairobi called me a “proper Mzungu”. He was right: I understand both sides. That’s why you won’t get brochure romance from me, but the unfiltered reality.
