My name is Mwai Kihu of Kepro Farm, Nairobi, Kenya. This is our (with my wife Ann Mwai) 4th hosting year. Our listings are Karen View Retreat and Karen South View.
We have been super hosts for 3 years continuously now. Airbnb has given us the US $ 100 accommodation award 4 times, encouraging us to travel more than we would have traveled otherwise.
We have enjoyed hosting immensely for more reasons than income. We have hosted guests from more than 20 countries which means we have new friends in all these countries because most of our guests end up being high value friends by the time they check out. We have free accommodation offers from our guests in several countries.
We have a five-star rating. We thank Airbnb for existing, listing us and sending us quality guests who become friends.
I have come to realize that social-cultural tourism is of higher value than mere sight-seeing tourism. Guests love our evening conversations where we discuss Kenya, their countries and the world as we enjoy food that we grow on our farm. We also help them plan their onward journeys and at times we take them ourselves to Kenya's tourist attractions around Nairobi and beyond.
Kind regards,
Mwai
