Just found your Web site…very nicely done…I’ll be back!
Biche, thank you for the interesting write-up about Utalii.
I agree that the Rough Guide to Kenya is an excellent resource about Kenya. Those of us who find the cost of a hardcopy a bit steep, the good news is that Rough Guides has made the full text freely available online on their website http://www.roughguides.com Happy reading!
Hi Steve,
Welcome to ChickAboutTown! Thanks very much for the kudos. I look forward to having you around!

Hi Rafiki,
Welcome to ChickAboutTown! (Thanks for the link on your blogroll, by the way! :-))
That’s cool that The Rough Guide has made that information available online for free. As I write, my copy of The Rough Guide and I are not in the same country, so that’s great news to hear.
I hope to be seeing more of you around ChickAboutTown. I will definitely be reading more of your blog – Rafiki Kenya – now that I’ve discovered it. It’s really well laid out and full of relevant information!
Cheers,
Biche
Great review and site you have here. I remember Utalii as the hotel I had my first real Valentine date.
Will read the other entries very interesting.
Hi Kirima,
Thanks for your postive words about this site. Welcome to ChickAboutTown!
Is that all we get to hear about your date at Utalii? 😉 Did you have dinner there? Was it good? I’d love to hear more.
Biche
I used to go to Utali for Sunday lunch in the eighties. I loved it.
Thanks for the feedback, Tamtam.
Maybe the copy of The Rough Guide to Kenya that I have is a little older and so speaks of the same older glory days that you speak of. As I said, I’ll have to eat there again to know whether I was just there on an off day or whether it’s true that the quality of the food has just declined.
Thanks for sharing,
Biche
