I still remember the "East African Safari Rally" as it was then called. the VWs, Mercedes, Ford, Saab in the late fifties and early sixties. Holidays spent in Mombasa and many weekend trips in the countryside. The best adventure was by car from Nairobi to Cape Town ( Morris Oxford-and then with the Beetle VW) on non-tarmac roads some 3000 plus miles-one way, a truly wonderful experience. Very fortunate to spend one's childhood in such a wonderful part of Africa. Roger Ingham.

What sheer nostalgia this web site produces. I served with the Staffordshire Regiment and completed two tours in Kenya. My daughter attended Kenya Girls' High School, 1962-64. As for the fishing, it was sheer heaven. Ray Ironmonger

My father worked out of Mombasa in 1957/58 for the PWD as a paymaster on the Mombasa/Nairobi Road. I was only a child but we enjoyed going on working trips with him. We lived just south of the island across the ferry (I think the name of the ferry was the Likoni Ferry). I remember being take to the Shelly Beach Hotel many times and staying at the Vio [Voi] Hotel on many  of my father's trips. Rolande Howey.

Re NFD, Moyale, Marsabit: It's interesting to hear that someone knows about neglected parts of Kenya. I am kind curious to find out what it was like in that part of Kenya before I was born. All I've heard so far are oral transitions and I would like to read about it. Humbe Adam.

I think your site is really great. I collect books on East Africa and especially Tanganyika and hope to catch up on yours in the new year. Mike Paterson

Hi all... Gives me goose-bumps, seeing familiar names from the past......Ian Rossenrode

I can't remember if I e-mailed you to thank you for putting my entry on the Kenya Korner site. To give you some feedback on the success of the site, I have received a number of e-mails from people who knew my family or were at the same school. As time goes by I am sure more and more old friends will be back in touch with each other. Once again many thanks. Phil Bairstow

Found you by total accident! I went to Saints School from 1965-72 and often trawl the net to see if any old friends appear. Maybe some of them will remember me! Keep up the site! Stu Maughan.
