“Arriving at The Slow Leopard, I found it easy to settle in and immediately connect with others at the bar. The outdoor seating was perfect for enjoying the evening breeze, and the live music made for a great backdrop. It felt safe and welcoming, and I quickly found people to share a daladala ride with to explore the local markets the next day. The happy hour was a solid way to save a few shillings while still enjoying the social scene.”
