Few weeks back after we dropped off our daughter to Hardy Stud for horse riding we decided to drive around and do little bit of fun discoveries. And there we found a nice, quite not so busy roads with pavements! Real pavements, they are very hard to come by around here, put aside good roads. But interesting enough, this area (Kipevu Rd, very close to Banda School) is very well kept, there are no holes on the roads, each street has side walks big enough to walk or bike. Following week, without thinking much, we took our bikes and parked on Hardy Stud and started our bike journey. If you take all the streets cutting Kipevu Rd.,it takes around an hour or an hour and half which is perfect if you are riding with children. Roads are very safe and wide, there are lots of road signs (you do not get to see road signs here much...), and people take leisurely walks, best part is there are no matatus at all!
When we were biking one Sunday, I took a look at my left side and almost fall of from my bike, a giraffe was basically staring at us while eating the leaves from the tree. I first thought I gotta to be dreaming, where on earth a giraffe would be coming from! Then noticed there was not only one but four more giraffes walking in the huge green area, which covered with a tiny fence. We could easily reach there or they could easily reach to other side. But these amazing creatures do not worry or care about humans, they basically ignore us! (How can I blame them!!!).
Unfortunately there are not many places you can bike with your children safely, so if you like biking as a family you must try this area, I promise you are going to love it!
