Tigoni.... Wow!

[Da Vinci]

Random online photos from Tigoni...

I spent a significant part of my childhood time growing up around Tigoni near the Maramba Tea farm, and now tea factory. It was very beautiful back then with dense mîthandûkû forests that protected lots of wild passion fruits, nganangû, nathi, ndafifi, etc, etc. Today the passion fruit has become a cash crop, already.

Hii ndio ilikua kanisa yetu

It was very beautiful. Then, baadae after some years I visited there nikapata kulichakaa sana with haphazard developments and buildings. So ikiwa you find the place beautiful today, imagine how lovely it was back in the early eighties!

We lived in a farm called Gatina. Probably here...

And now the random pictures...

Awesome post.

I was there recently to visit my sista and I did not like what I saw. Stupid Gikuyu have never seen a road reserve they don't want to put ramshackle kiosks on... Jingas should be shot...

Ngoja mwaniki the kikuyu landlord akuje kujenga single rooms huko, executive rooms with own serene compound

Seems like a cool place to live full of fresh air and really clean.

Lovely place that does a bi-monthly open market for some nice stuff such as cheese and homemade wares

Yeah! Also as cold as the Arctic!

There was a time when the serenity was threatened by the madness of insecurity. Akina Njoro wanakutembelea uninvited usiku na wanakuambia uchague mawili, uwafungulie wewe mwenyewe Kwa uzuri ama waingie wao wenyewe!

Tigoni is gorgeous.

The only thing that still irks me is the mzungu and muindi workers who are still treated like slaves. The community is still in 1955 mentally.

Spent 5 days in that place. Very serene. If only they could heat the entire Tigoni area...

With the amount of plantation in the area you can't expect nothing less than a cold temperature.

I have seen some very serious ass cheeks na venye hii baridi inasumbua mbachela.

some nice stuff such as cheese

Yep. The best cheese in Kenya comes from the nearby Brown's Cheese factory and their variety is unmatched. That has made other dairy farmers in the locality to start cottage businesses of the product.

You heat up the place and it changes completely.

You heat up the place and it changes completely.

That's the sad bit about it.

Nice scenic view of a serene landscape.
You would think she is touching the tree branches with one raised hand.
Nice photography.
