travel guides & language books for Kenya

The Rough Guide to Kenya
This is pretty much everything a guide book should be: plenty of detail on the mainstream stuff (where to stay and eat in Nairobi, how to organise a safari in the Masai Mara), but plenty also on the areas off the beaten track. Best of all, the book is unfailingly relevant, avoiding the usual pages of filler or the blindingly obvious. The wealth of background information and the dry, witty style are welcome bonuses.

The White Masai
Whilst on holiday Corinne Hoffman fell in love with a Masai warrior. After overcoming all sorts of obstacles she moved into a tiny shack with him and his mother and spent four years in Kenya. Slowly but surely, the dream began to crumble. From wild animals through starvation to ritual mutilation, this is a book steeped in humanity and one that tells a fascinating tale.
