Kenya sits at the intersection of ancient and future. Nairobi's Silicon Savannah is home to Africa's most ambitious tech scene, while Maasai elders still pass down knowledge through song and story under acacia trees. In Mombasa, Swahili poets are digitising centuries of coastal literature. We'll explore how Kenya bridges tradition and innovation, and what happens when the world's oldest form of communication meets its newest tools.
