Lupita Nyong'o Lupita Nyong’o was in the country this past week. She even met up with Eric Omondi arguably the biggest pariah in Kenya during the month of February and March when he swam River Turkwel BUTT naked with young boys.
Eric omondi contemplating Eric shared photos of himself with Lupita Nyong’o having a tete a tete together. I am sure many Kenyans were awe-struck and would have loved to see the Oscar winner in the flesh like he did.
Eric Omondi and Lupita What surprised many about Lupita’s visit was how she it was such a low-key affair. The way she did it reminded me of how the high and mighty sneak into Kenya. Blink and you miss them.
Why do many celebs come into the country so secretively? Why the cloak and dagger act? Simple. These media personalities want to have time to themselves. That time is mostly had during holidays, where they can let loose without the pressures of the outside world.
For a short period of time they want to recede into the ether. And Kenya provides that in spades with our world class beaches and wildlife resorts. What about the people? Truthfully, we don’t really add to that package. The less we are seen of, the better. Harsh but true.
Below are some of the celebs and industry titans who have visited the country incognito:
Naomi Cambell
Naomi Campbell has on numerous occasions made Kenya her favourite destiny in recent years. The British super model made a secret visit to the country back in 2015.
Bill Gates
The Microsoft founder made his first visit to Kenya in 2006 where he chose to stay at the private conservancy eco-lodge Shompole Lodge with his family. Bill fell in love with the simplicity of the lodge located in Kajiado District mainly due the privacy it offers its clientele.

Jose Mourinho
The Manchester United boss was in 2010 spotted holidaying in Kenya’s south coast. The tactician spent two weeks in the country but refused to have his photograph taken or grant interviews with reporters during his Kenyan visit, which included a stay at the Maasai Mara Game Reserve.
