Saya dan keluarga besar KBRI Nairobi menepi sejenak dari hiruk-pikuk kota ke Twin Rivers, Tigoni untuk menghabiskan akhir pekan.
Tigoni ini ibarat “Puncaknya” Kenya. Terletak di dataran tinggi Limuru dengan udaranya yang sangat bersih dan sejuk—bahkan terkadang suhunya bisa menyentuh 12°C.
Momen ini semakin berkesan bagi kami saat bisa melepas atribut formal dan menikmati waktu bersama keluarga. Saya dan putra saya, Oan, sempat “beradu” kecepatan di lintasan Go-karting di antara hamparan perkebunan teh yang hijau. Selain itu, kami juga menguji fokus di Shooting Range.
Kalau Anda sedang di Kenya, kegiatan apa yang paling ingin kalian coba di Tigoni, Twin Rivers ? 👇
——
the family of the Indonesian Embassy in Nairobi and I took a brief break from the hustle and bustle of the city to spend the weekend visiting Twin Rivers, Tigoni.
Tigoni is like the “peak” of Kenya. Located on the Limuru highlands, it offers very clean and refreshing air—sometimes the temperature even drops to 12°C.
This moment was particularly memorable for us as we were able to shed our formal attire and enjoy time together as a family. My son, Oan, and I had a friendly race on the go-kart track, surrounded by expansive green tea plantations. We also tested our reflexes at the shooting range.
If you’re in Kenya, what is the one thing you’d most like to try at Twin Rivers, Tigoni?

Saya menghadiri perayaan Koningsdag (King’s Day) di kediaman Dubes Belanda di Nairobi, Y.M. Henk Jan Bakker.
Momen ini mengingatkan saya kembali ke masa penugasan di Den Haag dulu. Suasana oranye yang meriah, kegembiraan warga di jalanan, dan tentu saja—makanan khas Belanda yang saya gemari: Maatjesharing!
Senang di kesempatan ini bisa kembali melahap ikan Herring segar ini bersama Pak Dubes Henk, rasanya seperti sedang pulang sejenak ke Belanda.
Mijn hartelijke felicitaties met Koningsdag!
Semoga hubungan persahabatan Indonesia, Belanda semakin erat. 🇮🇩🤝🇳🇱

Attended the King’s Day celebration at the residence of the Dutch Ambassador in Nairobi, H.E. Henk Jan Bakker.
This moment reminds me of my posting in The Hague back then. The festive orange atmosphere, the joy of the people in the streets, and of course—the Dutch specialty I love: Maatjesharing!
I’m delighted to have this opportunity to once again enjoy this fresh herring with Ambassador Henk; it feels like a brief return to the Netherlands.
Mijn hartelijke felicitaties met Koningsdag!
May the ties of friendship between Indonesia and the Netherlands continue to grow even stronger. 🇮🇩🤝🇳🇱
