    Kenyans, Can we please agree to the fact that kilimani is a middle class area not a rich area...in rich areas of nairobi , you dont see the houses , you only see perimeter walls , huge gates n security guys...anything less is a middle class

    I have been to Kenya some 45 times, and own property there. I had an absence of 10 years when I returned, I hardly recognized Nairobi, so much had changed. Many places I knew had closed, with many new ones. The city is looking great, but the Nairobi Expressway blights the city, a big white elephant with very little traffic on it. Driving from the airport, it just cuts off your whole view, The JKIA once dominated the city skyline is barely visible now. Lots of nice tall buildings have been erected.

      The expressway has toll stations, meaning that it has a fee, so people tend to avoid it during off-peak hours. It's usually busy though, during peak hours

      Change is especially hard when you dislike the result. Sorry you're disappointed; I know how it is. I have been to Kenya five times. It changes every time. Some of the changes are wonderful whereas some things I would like to change are still there. I wish there were not speed bumps on Thika highway.

    I visited Kenya about 30 years ago, stayed in Nairobi some of the time and even then, compared to Boston where I lived Nairobi was at least as modern and certainly bigger. But most interesting for me was the huge variety of animals seen. On my first full day , mostly Maasai Mara I saw 28 distinct species of animals, we drove within feet of lions. It was phenomenal. The people were also great in that they were all trained for whatever jobs they had. Our tour driver had 3 years formal schooling to drive safely, know the roads and sights and teach tourists about the animals etc. I see all of the attention to detail is paying off. Love it.

      Perhaps they live in Kibera but she is schooled in the rich schools. Also some Kenyans choose to live humble lives but own immense land and are comfortable. I get the vibe that the tour guide didn't show his property land or businesses in the country side, he just showed one of his residences while in Nairobi.

    I was born in Nairobi. As you know, you've been mistaken for an Indian many times. There's a rich history of Indians in East Africa. Please make a video about their connection and also take the train to Mombasa.

    • @donatio1
      @donatio1 Před 4 měsíci

      But you’re still Indian. You’re not originally Kenyan. There is no area in kenya in which you come from unless you refer to parklands as your ‘ushago’. Majority of you can’t speak Swahili and you don’t have Kenyan culture, you only practice your Indian culture which is fine. When Kenyans go to their rural homes in December, you’re on your way to India. So yes, you’ll always be Indian unless you marry a Kenyan and give birth.

      The problem is , when he’s in Europe or the USA he doesn’t go to the slums, he stays in the nice areas, he doesn’t show homeless people covering the sidewalks or drug attics talking to themselves, so if you don’t do it in Europe then don’t do it in Africa

Please explore everywhere including the beautiful islands on lake victoria especially mfangano. The water is tranquil and stunning and there is a mountain road round the island. Let me stop there so that one day you will tell us what it is . Welcome and all the best

They are resilient, smart, kind, loving, hospitable. Kenya boasts heavenly topography from white sandy beaches to snow capped mountains. The animal preserves host the best safari tours, the tea plantations and the flora make it look like Garden of Eden. Your video was honest and reliable. Thank you.

    I think it is very important for myself and the world, to see the slum areas of Africa and all the children; these children, are the world’s future and they must have computers in their schools and the best healthcare, nutrition and education that the world can possibly give them.

    OMG...I was there 45 years ago! Of course, it was going to develop but it's crazy I don't recognize anything except for the Kenyatta Center high rise which I believe was the only one in 1979. Thank you so much for the very interesting update tour.
