Kenyans are bracing themselves for a huge influx of tourists from the UK... thanks in part to the Obama effect. Obama's father, the main subject of his memoir Dreams from my Father... was born and lived in Kenya, and holidaymakers are desperate to visit the places the President Elect describes in his writings. With tourism expected to increase by as much as 15% next year as a result, we caught up with Jennifer Opondo from the Kenya Tourist Board to tell us more about Obama's connection with the country and why it's such a wonderful place to holiday.
