Stereotypes and prejudice, they do exist. Africa and the African man above all, can be described in a few compact sentences, according to many. Which leads to a picture that is not too positive. ‘The White Masai’, the most successful book about a love in Kenya, is quoted extensively, being the most reliable source in many eyes. So many times I have heard that everything in this book is true. And that all descriptions are valid for any African man, because: “All African men are the same”.
But of course! Just like all European men are exactly the same…
Fortunately many reactions on my adventure are less cramped. Lots of people think it is quite brave to take this big step. Though I am personally not too sure that I will be that brave when I board the plane to Nairobi in January…
