How to know the directions to various places in Kenya

There are many people in Kenya who find it very easy to know the direction to a certain place. However, not all of them are good at knowing directions. There are some who do not even know the directions for going to their parents’ place from school or from where they live. This might be a very big problem because such people cannot travel to most places in Kenya without some help from other people. They have to ask someone to accompany them to where they are going and unfortunately, not always do the people they ask to accompany them accept to do this. So, how can we help such people? They need to learn how they can know the directions to the places where they want to go better. The following are ways in which you can know directions to places in Kenya better.

1) Travel to that particular place a lot.
You need to travel to that place that you wish to know better as many times as you can. This is because if you do something once, then you might forget how you did it. However, if you do it many times, it becomes less likely for you to forget how you did it in the first place. Traveling a lot to any place therefore makes you to become more familiar with the directions that lead to that particular place.

2) Permanent structures.
It is difficult to know the directions to a particular place if the place does not have any permanent and tall structures or features which might point to you the directions to where you are going. However, if it has such structures like for example, tall buildings, a mountain, a lake, a school or even a hospital, then these structures will

lead you to where you are going. Therefore, always note the permanent structures that are found in a certain place and try to remember them. This might help you remember the directions leading to these places.

3) Travel alone.
The best way to know the directions to any place in Kenya is to try and get there alone without anyone else giving you the directions. Even when you get lost, try as much as you can to know where you are and the direction to where you are going.

4) Use a map.
There are some recent maps that show you every road and every building that is in various areas or cities in Kenya. You could not only carry the map and use it when you are on the road, but also you could read and view the map when you are not going anywhere and try and memorize the directions to the various places in Kenya that you would like to know how to get to them.

If you thought that you would always depend on others to know where you are going, then think again. Using these guidelines, you can now very easily know the directions to various places in Kenya.
