This podcast follows one host as he settles in different parts of Kenya, from the Indian Ocean coast to the highlands. Travelling here means moving between humid coastal towns, the Great Rift Valley floor, and the densely settled western shore of Lake Victoria, each with its own rhythm.
The show moves from Nairobi's urban streets to the old port of Malindi, west to Kisumu on Lake Victoria, and north to Marsabit in Kenya's arid interior. It also returns to the Rift Valley escarpment and the slopes of Mount Kenya, where highland farming changes with the seasons.
He stays in one part of Kenya through the short rains and the dry season, then moves somewhere connected by history or landscape. The same towns and valleys reappear as the rains shift, so knowledge accumulates slowly, the way long familiarity with a place grows over months.
Baraka Kimani lives in Kenya and stays for two years, moving between cities, coastlines and smaller towns on a route that follows the seasons. Not a week-long visit — Baraka is there in every kind of weather, working out where to eat on an ordinary Tuesday, which train to take, what a festival actually feels like from the pavement.
A new episode arrives every day. Each one is short and specific: one neighbourhood, one journey, one meal, one museum worth the detour — with the practical detail that matters. What it costs. When it closes. Whether the queue is worth it. What to do when it rains. Every episode carries a full transcript and chapter markers.
