I want to travel in kenya to eastleigh?

Question

i want to travel to a place where their are somalis..i being one...and most somalis tell me eastleigh in kenya is the best place ...because evry kind of somali are there...so please if you have any information you could assist me?

Answer 1

asalaam alaykum walaal.

being a somali and having lived in kenya, i think i can give you better info about eastleigh. Regardless of the dust, sewage and congestion as someone was ready to point out, eastleigh is home away from home for all somalis. If you are traveling from abroad, you can stay at good hotels like the barakat hotel..refer to their website www.barakathotel.com.

If you are planning to stay in Nairobi for long, you might want to check out South C, South B, Hurlingham and the surrounding estates. They are near the town center and are suburban.south C would be a better choice if you are looking for majority population of somalis.

I hope this answers your questions and if you want more details, i will be glad to answer.

All the best inshaallah and ramadan kareem.

Answer 2

yeah i used to live near there.. i don't know exactly what you are trying to say but yes there are a lot of Somalis there.  

Answer 3

Yes you are right, majority of eastleigh population is somalis.  What goes on around there is business wholesale and retail. Basically you can get anything at anyprice in easleigh. If you want to do business, and you do not mind congestion, traffic jam 24hrs, dust, sewage, insecurity, then go ahead and join the party.  If you are planning to live in eastleigh, i would only ask you, R U serious? of course there are people who live there but...i dont think anyone loves living there.
