Kenyan Entrepreneur Walid Kilonzi is Paving the Way for VR Innovation in Africa

You find yourself on the second-highest peak in eastern Kenya, in the thick of the Iveti forest with its famed cedar and pine trees. Near the top of a rise, you come upon the famous “miti muonza,” the seven trees that have stood there for over eight decades. With a turn of your head, you leave the forest and are transported to the inside of a workshop, where woodcarvers are busy at work.

After looking at the finished bags, baskets, wood, and stone carvings at Wamunyu Handcrafts, which has been around for more than 50 years, you can either go straight to the Muooni Dam or go to the Komarock shrine to get spiritual advice. Alternatively, you can be teleported to the hyena caves.
