Banana

Banana Hill is a suburb of Karuri town, in the eastern part of Kiambu County. Its location in the temperate Kenyan Highlands and is thought to have been one of the major attractions for its former British colonizers. Banana Hills was so-named by British Colonial soldiers, who could only see banana plantations as they looked downhill towards the capital city, Nairobi, whenever they drove their military trucks over the hills en route to Limuru. The green scenery has rapidly been replaced with mushroomed red rooftops of mansions as the city of Nairobi spread north.
