The coronavirus pandemic has wreaked havoc across the globe and shattered economies, pushing many businesses to close.
In Nairobi, the virus has silenced the hospitality streets. High-end hotels that were a beehive are now a skeleton of their former selves.
Doors remain locked, curtains drawn and conference rooms ghostly silent.
In the affluent area of Nairobi’s Upper hill, the loneliness of the streets hits you before the empty hotels meet your eyes. The closed doors tell you how severe the pandemic has been to the industry.
With few or no international visitors, some establishments have been forced to close shop while those open are hanging on by a thread.
