What is it like to ride a motorcycle in Nairobi?

Driving around Nairobi is chaos, but if you drive carefully you won't have any problems. As in most African countries, drive on the left. Its streets are full of speed bumps and it is characterized by congested traffic. As for the roads, those close to the city are in perfect condition, but those that move away from it, you will discover that they are not the best to travel by motorcycle. The maximum speed on highways is 70 km/h and in urban areas 50 km/h. It is normal to see people walking on the shoulders of the road and animals crossing you. To avoid problems, we recommend not driving at night. The use of the helmet is mandatory.
