(KFC)Kentucky Fried Chicken opens in Nairobi

k

One of the world's most popular food chain Kentucky Fried Chicken just opened shop this month in Nairobi.

Popular in the US and in many places around the world for its fried chicken, KFC has now ventured into kenya and is set to expand even further.

So how will the local kenyans take it.Judging from the facebook fan page, many bleeding with excitement and are ready to queue in order to have some of that chicken."But i thought ken-chic was enough?" one would ask.Well, local fast food restaurants have not reached the standards of KFC and the likes of MacDonalds,BurgerKing and Starbucks.For one they are not consistent as their counterparts in US.

It is going to be rather interesting considering what many are predicting to be the outcome of this venture.High levels of obesity is one of them.This has been seen in the United States where many fast food empires exist, kids becoming obese due to overeating of food which has little nutritional value.Never the less,people are responsible for their own eating habits.What about our kids who need to learn to appreciate good food.Offered a meal many would choose to go to kfc setting aside their local healthy diet.

Ironically, there is an ongoing famine in kenya right now.It would be rather striking to witness obesity and famine in the same land.

Anyway we welcome KFC to Kenya and it's kind of cool to speak of kfc in Nairobi.

TELL A BROTHER, A FRIEND, EVEN A STRANGER...

It's no secret that getting a good review, no matter what business you are in, not only provides the motivation to keep doing what you are doing but is also a powerful selling point for your business. Word of mouth advertising they call it. Kairi Tours and Safaris enjoys this priviledge.

It is very humbling and it constantly reminds us that we must always remember that the customer is key and our purpose is to ensure that all our clients hopes and dreams, when they make that leap of faith and choose us as their operator, are not just met but surpased! One such client had this to say...

Mt Elgon

Clouds encircle the lofty rim of Mount Elgon, a huge, long-extinct volcano on the border between Uganda and Kenya, viewed in this enhanced satellite image. The solitary volcano has one of the world's largest intact calderas, a cauldron-like central depression. The caldera is about 6.5 km (4 mi) across and formed following an eruption, when the emptied magma chamber collapsed under the weight of volcanic rock above it.
