Ugliest Places

Kenyatta International Conference Centre

Once the tallest building in Africa, it did not age well. Once you walk in it looks creep and moldy, not even its lighting having been modernized.

Kenyatta International Conference Centre

Signage/directions poor, staff disinterested, just dated and old, with a really slippery tiled floor. All very 1970s mission brown.

UAP Old Mutual Tower

I DON'T LIKE THE OLD MUTUAL COLOURS ON UAP TOWERS.. IT'S VERY UGLY THESE DAYS AT NIGHT.

UAP Old Mutual Tower

In this age when cities have skyscrapers covered with glass, UAP drilled some small holes which look like toilet windows from far. The rest is concrete.

UAP Old Mutual Tower

Despite the UAP Old Mutual Towers opening its doors two years ago, at least eight floors remain empty with the rest largely occupied by the parent company’s Old Mutual and UAP Insurance offices.

Machakos Town Bus Station

However, the garbage problem seems to be getting worse. For instance, on Juja Road, sections of Eastleigh and River Lane stretch from Machakos country bus station to Gikomba market, traders mix freely with mounds of garbage.

Machakos Town Bus Station

I have never understood why people go to Machakos Country Bus Station for up country travels. That place is ruled by impunity and robbery and the fare is almost equal to that of the decent buses.

Machakos Town Bus Station

The worst bus station one can ever be is Machakos Country Bus Station. You travel to other countries by bus and you will realize how shitty ours is.

African Heritage House

This is one of the best gems in Machakos, it has an amazing collection of african artifacts and a well designed tour that not only is knowledgeable but creative.
