There’s been a lot of speculation on the Mombasa aspect. I suppose it’s possible that Daddy Obama had some reason to go to Mombasa - political party headquarters? maybe the university where he got an undergraduate degree? near the airport? It’s odd but not impossible.

We have all been assuming they travelled by air. If they went by ship then Mombasa would be the likely port of entry.

Thats a good point.

That's very true. I'd never considered the possibility that they may have traveled some other way than by air.

I realize wikipedia isn’t always reliable, but they list Daddy Obama’s secondary school as Maseno, which is in the Kisumu district (near the home village.)
