Kenya’s Iconic Matatu Culture
The Most Extravagant Nganya Yet? Kenya’s iconic Matatu culture just leveled up — again. 
Just when you think you’ve seen it all, a new masterpiece hits the streets and resets the bar. Enter “Mood” — Kenya’s first-ever solar-powered Nganya, merging green energy with that unmistakable Nairobi street swagger.
Fitted with rooftop solar panels to power its booming entertainment system and LED lighting, “Mood” is a moving statement — loud, luxurious, and unapologetically unique.
The breakdown?

Once a 32-seater, now a plush 25-seater with VIP-style 2×1 bucket seating, “Mood” brings club vibes to the road — complete with a 65-inch TV, a live DJ deck, glass holders, mood-enhancing LED lights, and a fully immersive sound experience powered by massive subwoofers. And the finishing touch? Smiling emojis in its graffiti, a custom number plate, and an energy that matches its name.
From graffiti artists to DJs, digital content creators, fabricators, and sound engineers — Matatu culture is more than transportation; it’s an industry creating opportunities and elevating street art into mobile luxury.
Catch “Mood” riding through Embassava and Rongai — if you can keep up.
