Yes, she is here! World number two female tennis icon, Serena Williams, made a humbled entry into the country for a three-day charity tour in an arrival that did not cause a huge stir at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.

The one half of the William’s tennis sister-act and nine grand slam singles title winner, was befittingly whisked to Nairobi’s Serena Hotel where she will be based during her stay in the country. Elder sister Venus, is also a former world number one and winner of nine grand slam titles as well.

A battery of journalists camped at the airport to cover her arrival but they left disappointed after they were denied interviews.

Local photojournalists had the chance of a lifetime to shoot pictures of Serena, the decorated superstar they only see in foreign media.
