Hunters Lodge in Kiboko is unmissable on the Nairobi-Mombasa highway. The petrol station and tuck shop at the lodge’s entrance and vendors hawking tasty roast maize inspire many a pit stop.
Years of neglect saw the lodge gradually gain notoriety for being run down. All that remained of the promise of a glorious heyday was the grand signage. It might seem that those glorious days died with the lodge’s builder and proprietor John Alexander Hunter, universally known as J.A Hunter.
