Kenya sits at the intersection of ancient and future. Nairobi's Silicon Savannah is home to Africa's most ambitious tech scene, while Maasai elders still pass down knowledge through song and story under acacia trees. In Mombasa, Swahili poets are digitising centuries of coastal literature. We'll explore how Kenya bridges tradition and innovation, and what happens when the world's oldest form of communication meets its newest tools.

Reflections
“Nairobi moves at a pace that makes Sydney feel sleepy. But step off the main road into any neighbourhood and time slows. A woman is roasting maize. Kids are playing. An old man is telling a story under a tree. The oldest technology in the world, still the best.”
