Empty parking lots, closed businesses, deserted restaurants and unmotivated one or two workers describes the lost glory of a once vibrant small town.

On a normal day, Mtito Andei one of the biggest stop over points for vehicles heading to or from Mombasa. Good food, classic music, amazing people and the night life incomparable when the night workers rise to life.
