For today’s Geo Quiz we are looking for a city located in between the cities of Kampala and Mombasa. Host Katy Clark takes us to the backyard of Gabriel Nderitu in this city to see his lofty ambitions. This Kenyan engineer has been busy for the past year building a homemade plane in his small yard. It is a single engine, single wing air craft that he has built with his own money and ingenuity. (Photo: Mkimemia)

The answer is Nairobi. Nairobi is the capital and the largest city of Kenya, where Gabriel Nderitu has built his own aircraft.
