So I realised I didn’t share the price. It cost us about 18 000 KES for the both of us. (About 9k per person). This price is inclusive of transportation from Mombasa to Shimoni and back, boat ride, private tour guide, lunch, snorkelling (it was cold so we decided against it), underwater photography. If you’re lucky you’ll also see the dolphins. It’s half the price for Kenyan citizens (4500). One thing I don’t like about Kenya is the different pricing for tourist activities here but that’s a debate for another day chile. If you’re interested reach out to Amigo travels on IG (linked in description).

Your sister is me every time I come across food I have never tasted before LOL! She has pretty good sense of judgement, and tells it as it is. Lover her. Both of y'all are amazing!!
you doing alot for Kenya than us citizens do,, marketing Magical Kenya,,the next time you touring a place learn to start the conversation with,,,"Niaje",,then they will reply with poa sana,,,and trust me you will be given a fare price 😍
Love love love your content sis ❤️ You inspire me to create a travel fund and also start exploring. Softness is such a beautiful look on you! 🌻 Such a ray of sunshine ☀️
Omg...Kenya Coastal spiced with Chakalaka...😄...I just remembered my South African time and am homesick for my beloved Kenya at the same time. What a wonderful combination of the two most wonderful countries I know❤
It feels good seeing you enjoying everything in Kenya. And apart from Nairobi & Mombasa you can next time try other parts like Nakuru, Naivasha, Nanyuki and you I'll like it even more.Karibu tena Kenya.
Yeah terrible time of the year…. But you enjoy what you a given 😅 atleast you two are great company and experience this together. Definitely should do it on a good day… I think the weather is starting to clear out?
This was a very interesting trip .... you guys did your best ... despite the weather.... I enjoyed the vlog regarding the price am shocked ... I paid 3900 anyway maybe things have changed with the fuel increment
Sorry about the pricing I think its a thing in the coast towns to charge tourists a Lil bit more but in Nairobi for the most part the pricing is the same for locals and tourists
In the tourists spots like at the National park, Animal orphanage, Giraffe center etc.. pricing is different for locals (East Africans) and for non locals... However if you are suave enough you can pretend to be a local and pay local rates like Tayo Aina did in I think Giraffe center... He pretended to have forgotten his ID and someone told him what to say in Swahili
@@AnathiTshabe also people use "Sasa" and probably you heard people reply, "fit." More of a slang street language. Kiswahili language greetings vary based on the age of those you interact with. For instance. Senior citizens or most people above 50 years you will greet them like, "Shikamoo..., reply... Marahaba." Your age group(Marika) you say, Hujambo? Sijambo for the reply. Your buddies is more like Mambo? Or sasa? Reply is fit. And for those below your age is more like "habari gani? Reply is nzuri sana.
Thanks for sharing the video, am watching from New, USA and you have made me homesick. "Ustie shaka. Hakuna matata, jivinjari." Kiswahili meaning, don't worry, no problems or worries, enjoy yourself.
About the issue of different pricing, I think it is okay because they majorly factor your spending power, which they think (wrongly or right) is more superior if you come from outside of Kenya. But, I think for tourists from different African countries, it should be relatively the same to what locals pay.
Besides SA there are still other African countries these price differences affect. All I’m saying is that it doesn’t encourage more tourism and actually does the exact opposite.
@@AnathiTshabe Bythe way we don't depend on South Africans for our Tourism.Infact they would have charged you More,So that you Stop coming.We have our Big brothers Nigerians who Love our Country n less Complains.
It's called Shimoni because of the underground caves that were used to hide slaves before they were loaded into boats heading to the main slave market in Zanzibar... Shimo is swahili for hole.. so Shimoni means "In the hole"
My favourite Kiswahili word is kidogo meaning just a little/just a bit or small depending on context. My 2 year old nephew likes the word ananichekesha meaning someone is making me laugh..i think he likes to say it because of how it sounds and he is proud of himself for being able to pronounce a somewhat difficult word for that age. He seems to acknowledge it is not an easy word..so when he says it he gives that look of..did you hear what I just said with a tinge of pride.
I love kidogo too. I also use it quite often. I was so shocked when I heard it because I thought it had something to do with a “dog”, imagine my surprise. 🤣
And then a few misinformed people want yo shout how Kiswahili is Arabic. Kiswahili is a Coastal Bantu language with some traces of Arabic, German, Portuguese etc due to trade and intermarriage to take away its Kenyan roots from the Coastal people especially Lamu where the first Swahili people settled. People often forget the Coastal Bantu inhabited the Indian Ocean coastline before the the Arabs, Portuguese and British etc ever did in their conquests.

The pricing is to encourage locals to visit.if it was expensive few locals will attend

Thats fair, You were charged lical prices 💯
Maybe pricing for Africans should be like the locals
I love this. Africans visiting other African countries
Interesting. I realize It is canna hard to tell South Africans sisters and Kenyan sisters apart. They have alot of resemblance.
What's rwalize ?

Stoney Tangawizi soda you have to try. A ginger blast to your taste buds and will fix your queasy stomach right quick.
I think we might have something similar in SA but we call it Stoney ginger beer
@@AnathiTshabe This is actually a soda and not a beer.
This was a very interesting trip .... you guys did your best ... despite the weather.... I enjoyed the vlog regarding the price am shocked ... I paid 3900 anyway maybe things have changed with the fuel increment

IChannel iyakhula. It was on 1.6 nge wknd when I was binge watching. Uti jambo to Kenyans.
Right?? I’m so shocked and so excited for this growth. Couldn’t have done it without y’all 🙏🏾
can pick the bantu dialect in your language..in western kenya.. yakhula means it has grown
Kisumu 🇰🇪 Kenya...next destination
Thanks for the recommendation ✨🙏🏾
@@AnathiTshabe While in Kisumu check the only Rainforest in Kenya in Kakamega
Let her get to Lamu first
Kwapa is armpit in swahili too
I’ve noticed so many similarities between Swahili and IsiXhosa, it’s crazy 😊

"Jambo" is a tourist word. You would say "Hujambo" and the other party would respond"Sijambo".
Yeah. People don’t usually use Jambo. 🤣 clearly she’s watched a lot of movies
If you want to sound local, say Mambo, not Jambo. Jambo is too formal.
Ow okay. Thanks for letting me know 🙏🏾

Totally agree. If you come to SA we don’t have different pricing for locals and tourists
They are forgetting we Kenyans have to pay visa when going to South Africa.So let's the price be Different it's okay with that.
South Africa charges us visa while they come here visa free. They are not saints

Ow wow. I had no idea, thank you for letting me know. I remember the guide telling us about the caves and slaves in the town.
@@AnathiTshabe yep! You could have visited the caves, they are just before where you get the boat to Wasini… some chains still there..

How's chapati with seaweed? Wajackoya would probably recommend smoking weed and eating chapati. 😂😂😂
🤣🤣 it tastes okay but better with the chilli. The chapati was also freshly made 👌🏾
