Dawa Cocktail

Other Notes

Cosmopolitan Nairobi, heralded the "Safari Capital of the World", is the natural departure point for ventures into Africa's wild. And much like spotting the Big Five, no trip to Nairobi is complete without sipping the Dawa Cocktail (usually enjoyed with such culinary delights as seared ostrich, eland and crocodile steaks served on skewers). Given that dawa is Swahili for "medicine," this famous cocktail is said to cure whatever ails you. The fact that it's the most popular cocktail in Kenya just might support this claim.
