Nakuru's matatu stand

Nothing reminds me more of Kenya, than matatus. While some maintain that you are just asking for an early death riding in these things, I tended to enjoy them immensely. You will be elbow-to-elbow with the locals, traveling as they do. Or, you will be elbow-to-wing with a bag of chickens, as I once was. While the chickens were nice enough, the conversations with the locals made the time fly by, and truthfully, is the only way not to notice just how horrible the roads are. It is where I experienced numerous examples of hospitality and conversations that could only happen... in a matatu.
