Welcome to Kenya

Hi,i am Dwight from America, visited Kenya 2 years ago and loved Mombasa.
So this September or sooner since i turn 66 in November, i am wanting too retire in Bamburi or Nayali
So if anyone in Mombasa want too chat please contact me.

I’m not sure if I’m in the right place! My parents took us out to Tanganyika in the late 1950s so I went to high/secondary school and then secretarial college in Nairobi and was a receptionist at the New Stanley Hotel until leaving for Europe soon after independence in the 1960s. My parents and sister’s moved on down to then Rhodesia.  I immigrated to the US from Belgium in 1968, and have been mostly in the Southwest since then.

Hi Dwight,                                                                                                                                                                                            My name is Gavin i'm still living in my place of birth England , i'm 70 years old and hope to retire to Mombasa Nyali area like yourself, this year. i have a Kenyan born girlfriend who lives in Nyali i was last there April last year and before that 40 years ago with the Army for 4 months Kisumu Lake Victoria area thats when i fell in love with Kenya , anyway Dwight any help i can give you, or you me would be good as it is not so simple even for retiring to Kenya take care         Gavin
