Only a few days back we watched people stare at a TV broadcast in the impoverished downtown area of Nairobi, announcing that a first case of coronavirus infection was discovered in Kenya. Starting 15th February, we traveled to South Africa, Rwanda, Uganda and Kenya. As we explored these countries, met up with old friends, enjoyed the fantastic sceneries and wildlife Africa is known for and learned more about its cultures and habits, the COVID-19 pandemic in the rest of the world was a daily news highlight. But Africa seemed not to be affected yet.
