Mugo wa Njoroge takes people to the places where history happened, and teaches it from the ground itself: the cave, the court, the grave, the forest. Each trip links the place you are standing in with the people, the documents, and the stories tied to it.

General Kassam Edition
From KES 2,500
Season IV leaves the forest caves and walks the pipeline's later stages: Mũng'aria (Aguthi Works Camp under Kangubiri Girls High), Mweru Detention Camp, and Kagumo Falls. These are not ruins behind glass. They are working school grounds where barbed wire still lines some roofs, and a marked torture room still stands in daily student traffic at Mweru.
The day is built to hold three kinds of ground: the cell and the trench, the sister camp that kept its sign, and falling water that does not erase what the camps did. Bring quiet feet. Bring a notebook. The twelve questions on this page are asked on site.
Nyeri
Central Kenya, where Aguthi and Mweru works camps still stand as schools

What happened here?

Who was involved?
04
Why was this place important?

What happened to the people?
06
What does the archive say?

The dated trip above is the public excursion. The private circle is a different thing. Members agree, in Telegram, on one historical site in Kenya. That site, its date, and its meeting point stay in the channel. They are not posted here, and they are not captioned in public.
250 KES a month
The membership fee is fixed. It is not the fare printed on the public poster.
Added by Mugo
Pay the month, then Mugo adds the Telegram name you gave. The channel is not linked from this site.
Your own site
Name a place in any county: a freedom-fighters site, a custom, a shrine, a court, a cave.
The visits study Kenyan and African history, including freedom fighters, customs, and the pre-colonial life of Kenyan communities. People of African descent living in Kenya or abroad are welcome, and so is anyone else who accepts the terms. A place is priced when you and Mugo agree it, and that price is not shown here.
