A GLIMPSE AT THE BACK STREETS OF NAIROBI CITY.

On our way from Lake Nakuru to Amboseli National park, we passed through some streets in Nairobi city. This gave me an opportunity to have a glimpse of the streets and the people. Our guide told us to keep our small bags especially our cameras out of sight and have all doors locked. There were many eyes staring at us as our vehicle moved through the streets. I managed to take some pictures with my small digital camera from the side window of our van.  
 It's amazing to see many people walking in the streets on a weekday.
 
 I did not see any foreigners but the "Kenyans".
The buses were old but brightly painted. There were also many mini vans
A bus with a full load.

According to our guide, Noirobi has a population of about 3 million. The area we passed through were considered the back streets of the city. We were told that Nairobi was one of the largest and most interesting city in Africa and a city that never "sleep". I just wonder if it was safe to go around the city on foot especially at night.
