Three in One J

I was getting tired of being stuck at home and not out there exploring, so on 9th; I made sure I had a filled day. Started with zip lining at the Forest, Kereita, then lunch at the Muna Tree Café, at Brakenhurst in Tigoni, and my day ended with a chill out at Baobox, in Westlands.

This weather has not been favorable at all, the Kenyan version of winter they call it (according to my friend this is the perfect weather because he knows how temperatures in the negative feel). Anyway, when planning zip lining at Kereita, we had booked to do six lines, but when we got there, we were a bit disappointed. They were not offering the six lines package because of the fog and the human traffic the delay had caused, so guys either rescheduled or settled for two lines. I did not go all that way not to zip line, so we settled for two lines. It wasn’t my first time there, so I was not freaked out really, my friends were though (kinda lol). Zip lining two lines cost sh.1800, and for six lines it's sh.2800. They have other activities like paintballing sh.1500, archery sh.1000, and mountain bike riding sh.1000. The buffet goes for sh.1000, but I have never really liked it, so we settled for two beers before going for lunch at the Muna Tree Café. Heineken goes for sh.400, so I am guessing the Kenyan beers go for sh.300. I would recommend Kereita when it’s the warm season.

After Kereita we left for the Muna Tree Café in Tigoni. The restaurant is in Brakenhurst and boy were we in for a treat. First, the ambiance is so chill and relaxing had it not been so cold (Y'all know how Limuru can get) I would have probably suggested we sit outside. There are hammocks all over the place. The place is all green. The food was heavenly; I had the grilled tilapia which came with roasted potatoes and a lot of French beans. My friends had the half grilled chicken and the pepper steak which also came with roasted potatoes and French beans. We also had a chicken bbq pizza which was baked using firewood. The most expensive item on the menu goes for sh.1000 which in my opinion is so fair considering the place. The service is warm and friendly and the wait time for your food is less than 10 minutes. 

After Muna Tree Café we drove back to Nairobi. I was meeting a few friends at Baobox in Westlands. This is a cool chill out place where you can play games with your friends, cocktails and beer and food at an affordable price (which is relative). To play the games, you pay sh.1000 per table. The cocktail prices are averagely sh.600 to sh.900, and imported beer goes for sh.450. It starts filling up from as early as 1800hrs and people start leaving at around 2300hrs. I was on the winning team as always lol, we were playing 50seconds, the Kenyan version (which is way easier than other versions I have played coz it is relatable). There are all sorts of board games, jenga too, which is super fun when guys are tipsy coz you get nowhere. I would recommend Baobox to everyone. The service is friendly, we were seated on the balcony, and they were kind enough to get the heaters on for us and even give us warm Maasai shukas. They don’t take reservations on weekends so I would advise guys to get there early.

 

That day makes up for the month I did nothing lol.
