The 32 year-old on his first ever trip to Sub Saharan Africa shared a post on his Facebook page momenta after landing in Nairobi from Lagos Nigeria.

Zuckerberg even chose to dine at the popular Mama Oliech's restaurant in Hurlingham where he was later joined with The ICT Cabinet Secretary Joe Mucheru before he proceeded to iHub, an incubation and innovation center along Ngong Road.

"Just landed in Nairobi! I'm here to meet with entrepreneurs and developers, and to learn about mobile money -- where Kenya is the world leader.

I'm starting at a place called iHub, where entrepreneurs can build and prototype their ideas. Two of the engineers I met -- Fausto and Mark -- designed a system to help people use mobile payments to buy small amounts of cooking gas, which is a lot safer and better for the environment than charcoal or kerosene. It's inspiring to see how engineers here are using mobile money to build businesses and help their community." he said
