Mbagathi River separates the smaller part of Rongai from the Nairobi metropolitan. The name &#8216;Ongata Rongai&#8217; originates from the Maasai language and translates to &#8216;narrow plains&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have not been to Rongai, at least you have come across some of the humorous memes created about the town that circulate on social media, especially to do with its &#8216;long&#8217; distance from Nairobi town and the dust in the town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the town is not too far from Nairobi CBD, the issue mostly is the traffic jam caused by matatus that overlap on the narrow road heading to Ongata Rongai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the dust issue, especially during the dry season, the town is prone to dust which is blown by the wind or stirred up by vehicles on some of the un-tarmacked roads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-embed wp-block-embed-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"0jC4Y9iCv5\"><a href=\"https:\/\/property254.co.ke\/blogs\/buruburu-neighborhood-guide-all-you-need-to-know\/\">Buruburu Neighborhood Guide : All You Need to Know<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;Buruburu Neighborhood Guide : All You Need to Know&#8221; &#8212; Property254 by Tulia Real Estate\" src=\"https:\/\/property254.co.ke\/blogs\/buruburu-neighborhood-guide-all-you-need-to-know\/embed\/#?secret=hSWVCfubUG#?secret=0jC4Y9iCv5\" data-secret=\"0jC4Y9iCv5\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You cannot mention Ongata Rongai without mentioning its&nbsp;Matatu culture. The Ongata Rongai route is served by award-winning matatus. Their modifications include and not limited to Graffiti, Snake lights, comfortable seats, TV screens, Power sockets, free WI-FI, and booming music. Embarking on a ride in these mini-buses to Rongai is an adventure by itself which has in the past attracted international celebrities like Trey Songz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Residents and visitors here also enjoy fresh produce directly from nearby farms sold at mainly two different markets, Soko Mjinga in Kware area and another market near Maasai Mall.
