Kenya: Nairobi Remix — Swahili Soul Meets French Style

Most travelers think safari is what happens outside Nairobi—rushing through the city to catch the next flight to the bush. In doing so, they miss the "Nairobi Remix": a world where Swahili soul meets French style in one of Africa's most creative destinations.Recorded on location, host Karin Jones sits down with Vanessa Roumeguere (Founder of Manzili House and Manzili Mara) for a deeply personal conversation.
