Can you tell us about Nyangoma Kogelo and what you did there? I know that stop was incorporated into some itineraries after Obama became president.

Exactly,it just emerged to be a destination after Obamas Victory,This is where we learned Luo culture,their meal is African,Visited step grandmother to US president, Sara Obama's home, senator Obama secondary and primary school, also the dispensary.The place is typical Kenyan rural village with most residents living modesty by small scale farming ,their dances are super somehow vigorous but we liked the taste.Kogello has proposed setting up Obama Cultural Home with a gallery which interprets the picture of kogello in future.
Some more questions please....Thanks

President Obama never lived in Kenya... who's primary and secondary school? His father, perhaps?

Right, ShayTay, I am not pulling a Huckabee. The location was the home of President Obama's father.

To add on Atravelynns ,the schools are not owned by President Obama.Just named after His name...more

FWIW, I saw a little road side shack store in Tanzania near Arusha named "Obama". Don't know what they were selling.
