We had the pleasure of visiting Invergara Club multiple times during our stay in Nairobi. Originally a whites-only colonial drinking club, it has grown over time to accept people of all races and genders, including for a time Barack Obama’s father, who was regarded as both a brilliant man and a prodigious drinker. The clientele are roundly interested in politics, with many actively involved in the government. As we visited during the tense election season, their insights were invaluable to understanding the present circumstances as well as the historical element. Shown here is the list of club presidents from throughout the decades.
