Nairobi Travel Blog: Nairobbery or Silicon Savannah?

goKonrad’s Nairobi travel blog (Kenya)

While Nairobi remains one of the more dangerous cities in Africa, hailing the nickname “Nairobbery”, it has also become the technology and business hub for East Africa and is often referred to by its other nickname, “Silicon Savannah.” This should help catapult Kenya further onto the world stage and as a leader in Africa. Kenya will serve as an inspiration to other African countries to leverage modern technology in order to leapfrog generations of technology and transform their economy. When spending time with tech entrepreneurs in Kampala, Uganda, I heard them compare themselves to Nairobi entrepreneurs in nearly every conversation. This sort of healthy competition will be good for the continent. The future is bright in Kenya and in between safaris and excursions, it is worth observing how technology will impact the rest of the developing world soon.
