It was amazing showing you around.
Ug connect I am your biggest fan here in Kenya am from Kericho a county in Kenya. Please don't leave without visiting Kericho. U will come and explore the European tea Farms in Kericho. The biggest producer of tea in Africa
Your guide is very intelligent, knowledgeable and articulate. Someone needs to hire him.
Any tour company out there willing to hire am open.
the shop streets look like cuba streets naye sebo,,, u have dumped our 54 dolphin ever since nabs came in,,, thanks for mombasa tour video,,, god bless us all...
Your guide is obsessed with foreigners. He is crediting them with everything.
Swahili language is predominantly Bantu (93%). The rest is divided between Persian, Arabic, Portuguese, Indian, Chinese, Javanese, Malay, British, German etc. Swahili culture is African and all these foreigners were assimilated.
Most people in Mombasa are also actually Christians. This is according to the last census in 2019. Arabic usage is quite low to non-existent since most local Arabs are intermixed with locals and assimilated into Swahili culture.
Mombasa's old names are Kongowea, Gongwa, Nyale and Mwambadza.
I would say Mombasa and Swahili culture and accent is more Miji Kenda ( a coastal Bantu tribe which means Nine Clans).
Maybe research more so that you aren't lied to by overexcited guides.
I visited Mombasa back in 2021 and I wish I had this tour guide to show me the many places in Mombasa that I didn't get to enjoy. Somehow your channel came into my feed and I'm glad I click on it to watch. I have subscribed and I am now a fan. Continue to put out good content for the world 🌎 to see.
Welcome to our tourists heartbeat. You can tour and enjoy our clean sandy beaches as well
Point of correction: Most if not all the slaves from that place were taken to Middle East and may be India. The ones taken to the Carribbean, South america and North America were from west Africa and Angola. Another difference is on who carried out the trade: Europeans in West Africa while it was Arabs in East Africa
Thanks for the correction
The Arabs were the slave traders in the East Coast of Africa. They keep trying to dostort history and blaming it on the Europeans yet they were much worse.
Old town is beautiful, welcome to Mombasa again and again.
Quite an informative video. Samuel is quite knowledgeable on the history of Mombasa.Ive enjoyed. Big up 👌
I think Lamu is the oldest town in Kenya, it is a UNESCO world heritage site and the oldest continually inhabited Swahili town
Mombasa is older than lamu
Swahili is 90%bantu the rest is Arabic, Portuguese etc.....your guide was great but he gave too much credit to the foreigners ..some of the doors in mombasa have been proven to be very original to eastcoast not asian influenced..great great video ,he did a great job..
The guide is just spreading misinformation. To him anything good mudt be arabic yet Mombasa's civilisation is largely local.
That guy is best tour guide
Wow! When knowledgeable historians meet together very good ❤❤. thanks for the video.
Sebbo at last we are at the ocean. I missed the premier as I was travelling. Continue the great job sir.

Your videos are so interesting , keep them coming , those AMAZING videos
Hello, I am loving it
I have been to Mombasa so many times. I never saw this Part of Mombasa. I learn a lot of history. My forefathers came from India so they must have landed in this port of Mombasa. This tour guide is a gem of a person full of information. I wish you all paid the shop keeper for the damaged item the tour guide broke.
Thank you for appreciating, the shop keeper refused to be paid
I hope you're having a good time bro🔥🔥
The buildings and boats portray the history of mombasa!!!
5hanks for sharing Mombasa is incredible and your content drope❤🎉🎉🎉
Glad you enjoy it!
Oh my God...the lady is the native but she seems to be the least knowledgable about her city.
Malika jielimishe zaidi watuaibisha. Iweje usijue lolote kuhusu Mombasa?

It's "pole KWA kazi" not "pole kazi" 32:14 I can't believe they didn't correct you. It's just basic swahili
Thanks
The guides themselves especially the man dont understand Kiswahili that much. Hopefully they get better.
Wow that Mandhry mosque was built in 1570
Mombasa is not "pre-dominant" Muslim as the guy says at 9:52 That's a misconception. Check your facts on the percentage of muslim population in Mombasa. Someone corrected that info in the comment section last time. 😏
Violence tupu please be kind 😂😂😂
@@ronaldakuku The dude keeps lying to the Ugandan. I pity innocent people being lied to by people who should know better
Mombasa is largely Christian now per 2019 census.
Actually mombasa existed over 500 years ago , you can see the streets are narrow because during the construction time there was no vehicles
Not 500 years...but 1100 years, more than a millennium.
@@considerthis4227 thanks for correcting him there,I was about to.
its even older. They found that it was older than the 900AD previously thought.
As a student of African History, I studied the Arab-Muslim Invasion of North Africa, and the eventual conquest and colonization of other parts of Africa. I don't recall that Mombassa was one of the areas that was invaded, conquered and controlled. I appreciate your video . . .it has broaden my knowledge in terms of how revolutionary the Arab-Muslim invasion was. I did not realized that they also occupied the East Coast of Africa.
I will like to speculate that Mombassa could have been built around 400-500 AD, if I remember correctly from my BA studies in History. According to my studies, the Arab-Muslim invasion of Northern Africa started in and around 200-300 AD and moving downward to the West coast of Africa and East Coast.
I gather that you are a historian and I will like to request If you can provide me with any reference or documentation of the Arab-Muslim occupation of Mombassa. Or on the Arab-Muslim involvement in the Enslavement of African people. I did a random search on Google and found information dating from 600AD and not earlier. I will greatly appreciate your support.
Thank you in advance. @drcherylcottle, writing from Canada.
36:00 Not America, It would be around the Cape of Good Hope and then across the Atlantic.
Nice content. We should call you Kenya Connect at this rate.😂
😅😅
Bro,migrate to Kenya and your channel will grow two fold
Mombasa and Zanzibar look similar
Of course, they share centuries of Swahili civilization and culture
Come back to Kenya bro..
Soon
The indigenous people of Mombasa are mijikenda, the 9 tribes now when the Arabs were handed Mombasa by the Portuguese, the Arabs inter married with the mijikendas the birth of swahili came from. Mixture of mijikenda and Arabic....Mijikenda occupy the most patt of Coast province b4 we became County. You can not talk of Mombasa without mentioning the Mijikenda. ✌🏾
Thanks a lot for the clarification
I live in old town n went to madrasa at that mosque its not calld mohandiri it mandri
Those old ships in 15:24 go as far as Dubai
Woow
The curving from the door its from arabs cultures and those were mazrui people mostly settle in those places.
Thr elephant story was not in Mombasa, but in India, because Indian armys used to fight each other with elephants
Lamu is way older than Mombasa, way older
Dolphine is the best when it comes to working together as a colleague and friend but for dating,noo, she's the best partner to work with then the current lady is good being someone's wife or girlfriend because personally I don't like a lady who's too much into interacting with men to be my wife or girlfriend but I will love to only work with her. I love working with socal ladies but i don't like dating social ladies
Good work you are doing. My advise to the you kindly get real guides to explain the true history of the historical places. Not all youtubers are conversant with the historical part of these sites. You end up either broadcasting the wrong version of history or distort facts. Just my opinion
Maybe you could sponsor him to hire a real guide 🤗
Jacket ni ya nini Mombasa?
Hahaha I'm not sure, Samuel should come and explain 😅
@@ugconnect He’s built different!🤣
@@picsandvidstv1348🤣🤣
