The new photo sharing service, Rumbaa, launched last Friday at the GP-Karting grounds sandwiched between the Carnivore restaurant and the Wilson Airport in Nairobi. The service borrows a leaf from the South African service Thunda.

A bunch of guys called RumbaaDudes drive around in a pimped-ip Hummer taking professional photos at parties and clubs. The photographs are later uploaded to the service where users can browse and share the photos on Facebook and Twitter.

Rumbaa gets a few things right where Nation Media Group’s Zuqka gets it all wrong.

Photographs on Rumbaa look great and the party people even better! There are also listings of events, DJs and local music (including videos).

So next time you are out partying and the RumbaaDudes come along, be sure to show your best side and strike a party pose.

The portal was developed by a local web development company, Ibid Labs.
