After only five-day visit to Nairobi, during which you explored the CBD with a camera, you concluded, “People in Nairobi prefer living in apartments because of the land laws.” However, you did not visit areas like Runda, Karen, Lavington, or Muthaiga. Then you stated, “Nairobi is Kenya, and Kenya is Nairobi.” No, brother, Kenya is a devolved country with government services available at the county level, then there is Huduma centers and the e-Citizen platform. Additionally, Kenya has many malls that function as mega centers where you can find everything you need. You don’t need to rely solely on the CBD. The CBD is congested because Kenyans are real hustlers. Honestly, your observations are biased by your perspective as a Tanzanian. You tried, but your ingrained biases were evident.

😂😂😂 Young Man Kenya has Devolution where you will find 47 governments+I think every major town has something called Huduma centre and we have over 50 major towns across Kenya that means access to government services is less than 50km from our villages, In addition we have E-citizen which is an online platform that offers gov. Services from the comfort of our homes. So jamaa Nairobi is just a Capital City and infact Nairobi mimi huenda maybe kusalimia rafiki lakini not because natafuta huduma za serikali😅

Yes .. Nairobi cbd has everything... but so are other districts within Nairobi.. like westlands has everything.. Eastlands has malls and bus parks.. South b .. South c .. everywhere in Nairobi is self sufficient.. in fact.. most Nairobi residents can go for months without ever going to cbd

I knew you were going to get to 10k subs mark, we Kenyans do support you guys, next you you come make use of motorcycles to go around Nairobi estates like Eastleigh and Kilimani which you covered very scantly and also the front seat of Matatus which gives you the best vlogging around Nairobi also you came during very rainy season which was not best for filming around. Finally, Nairobi was the first African city to have structured bus services called Kenya Bus Services and it was massive but since mass transportation dont make profit the government sold it to British firm Stagecoach which also couldnt make profit so it died, currently there are two Kenyan firms: BasiGo and Roam that are manufucturing electric buses, so next time you will see much more on our roads.
Well there's a lot of misconception from your reviews.When it comes to government services,each county has it's county government and huduma centers.There are a dozen universities in kenya and there are people who live in Nairobi and don't go to cbd regularly.There are multiple malls in Nairobi.The same university of Nairobi has more campuses across Nairobi for instance kikuyu and chiromo campuses.
Very honest review as a Tanzanian. Nairobi is well planned with very good landscaping of the streets at the CBD. They have bigger roads and enough space between buildings. On the other hand DAR CBD is a concrete jungle. If similar plan is applied to Dar then the CBD size would double. And ofcourse Nairobi CBD looks more congested with people while in DAR congested part of the city is the Kariakoo market. Cities in Tanzania discourage having main bus stands at the city center hence you find them far away from the city to reduce congestion.

You’re absolutely right. A modern rail system is the only infrastructure project that makes sense. From kisumu to Nairobi should be a modern high speed rail. There’s already a line & I think they’re upgrading it to fit in line with the belt and road initiative, but I think it may be more geared towards exports than commute. Theres a line in Serbia and it’s about the same length if not shorter than the SGR to Mombasa but it’s costing less & it’s new. Maybe we’ll get inspired by your rail projects, because from the looks of it, Tanzania has much better public transport than Kenya
Very nice. Thank you for the content. I was in Pingwe Zanzibar in January. The people were very friendly and nice. I also briefly toured Stone town, on my way to the airport to catch my flight back to Kenya. Tanzania is very beautiful. I hope to visit again soon, although this next vacation we are planning on going to Mahe, Seychelles. Asante Sana.
In terms of comfortability Matatus are way better. Sometimes us Tanzanians we just like to argue for invalid reasons. I have been to BRT stands and stayed for hours waiting for the bus and when the bus arrives its fully packed or this situation has never happened to you?. If our BRT System is better why are giving it to foreign investor to run it?
I live and work in Nairobi, last time I was in the CBD is October 2023. You got that wrong. I agree with you on Metro system, light rails, trams, that can take Nairobi to a world class city, and also pedestrian infrastructure is still lacking.
Whats wrong with that ? It's like saying the US is Washington and Washington is the US. That means all three branches of government are in that area. He even went further to explain that while Dodoma is the capital of Tanzania, many decisions are made in Dar es Salaam. That's why he said that; it's just hatred toward Tanzania mko nayo ni border closure tu ndiyo inayoweza kusolve kila mtu abaki na kwake. Na kwanza namshangaa huyu Bertin alienda kufanya nini kenya ingali anawajua Kenyans
Next time come with a drone to nairobi, fly it outside places in Nairobi i.e Karen, Muthaiga, umoja, buru etc then conclude, visiting just cbd, pipeline,easich isnt enough to give any conclusion about Nairobi..if you dont have enough $$ to buy it, "sisi kwa sisi" tutakuchangia..
Come on man, I stay in Nairobi but I don't have to go to the city regularly. Wewe ulitembea Nairobi na wapi? Hata downtown New York iko congested bro. Nice content but quit misrepresenting facts.
Nice video mr Bertin but from what im seeing in this comment section i think Tanzanians should know that kenya is not quite their competitor or rather not as per the moment , i think you guys are too obsessed with competing for the east African economic power hub seat forgetting that you have not only kenya but also Ethiopia to deal with and so far thing ain't looking so promising, i just saw the World Bank article on African economies and Tanzania is down to the tenth place after being outgrown by Ivory coast while kenya is now above Angola , funny enough, Tanzania's gdp is closer to the 11th place than it is to ivory coast . Competition is good but Tanzania has alot to chew.
GDP ya nini!?? Sisi hatuna muda na hizo data za uongo sisi tunawanyoosha on the grounds. Hiyo ethiopia haitukutii chochote ukitoa GDP ambayo ni useless
@Soon815 Even on the ground TZ is behind Kenya's development. There are a few things here that it is better than Kenya but overall Kenya still has it. You can deny and fools yourselves but facts don't change.
Nairobi is not totally heart beat of Kenya. Uganda, Ethiopia, and western DRC depend on Kenyas port which is in Mombasa, Kenyas second source of revenue is tourism, which is mostly around the rift valley like the safari and the coastal areas . Nairobi is not Kenya and Kenya isn't only Nairobi
I watched the whole Kenyan series and I can say you really tried to be professional and largely portrayed Kenya in a positive light. Hongera jirani! This final video is also fairly spot on. It is true Nairobi CBD is more crowded than Dar es Salaam despite Nairobi having slightly less population and this is partly due to lack of a proper public transit system. But we also have to accept that Nairobi is a bigger city with a bigger economy than Dar and Nairobians are more economically active than wanaDar es Salaam. Nairobi overgrew the CBD and now there are other commercial districts in Westlands, Upperhill, Kilimani and even Eastleigh (which by the way is even more bustling than CBD). Additionally, Nairobi has lots of estates (suburbs) which have branches of the major banks, major supermarket chains and other amenities, thus one can go for months without having to visit the city center. In short, you were mostly wrong to say that everything is in the CBD and that Nairobi is Kenya and Kenya is Nairobi. Kenya's second largest city, Mombasa, for instance, is way bigger than Tanzania's second largest city Mwanza.
@@Soon815 Can you name any multinational with East African headquarters in Dar es Salaam? Or can you explain why JNIA only handles 2.5 million passengers while JKIA airport handles 7.5 million, or why Nairobi has more than 4000 dollar millionaires while Dar has only 1200? I can continue.
Tanzanian here, my last time in Nairobi Kenya was 2018 and i have been there thrice. What i can say is that Nairobi is good. Our neighbors have got a beautiful city and county. The only problem with Kenya is politicians. It's like they have sold that country to the Western Europe and USA and i say this because of the policies the country is adopting now. Eg the tax laws and GMO agricultural products. , And medical staff like HPV vaccine for teenagers though it's banned now. But honestly i liked Nairobi and Kenyan culture in totality. If i were to recommend how Kenya should improve especially culturally i will say they should improve their relationship with their police officers like Tanzania 🇹🇿 it will improve their security especially on terrorism though i don't mean Kenya is insecure.
It is not only Nairobi because I'm from westan province and I can't travel from westan to Nairobi to to get what I want Nairobi is for narobians those who lives there wewe ujui kitu kuusu nairobi
Nairobi is truly congested ... even enock sikolia covered it well in one of his documentarues i think we should learn from dar ..... and improve our public transport cause there are so many bottlenecks and cross country travel is contributing to this ... let alone matatus ... in my opinion we didnt even have to build the expressway its not even alleviating the traffic grid locks in the city ... thats not a modern day solution... uhunye messed up ... i havent been to Dar but from my campus research in urban design , since i study architecture, they have really leveraged on an integrated transport system... eg brt stations to sgr ...it is seamless something namata here in kenya was to implement but failed ...
I am honestly glad you gave an honest opinion as a foreigner in our lands ... though you were abit nice ...Nairobi isn't well planned ...honestly you said it well ...small Nissans travelling to kisumu eld etc and then universities within the city 🤦🏾♂️ honestly we need to build a new and proper capital city 😂

The guy has said majority truth about kenya just that he is a Tanzanian that's why we are angry and for the apartment part its partly true but he would have visited Nairobi metropolitan where people own their homes.Alafu he called or girls masculine weuh weuh and generally Nairobi should not parameter for the entire kenya.Nairobi is different from Mombasa
Mara amesema ukweli, mara tena sijui amesema nini. Watu kama nyinyi hamnanga msimamo.
It is fact kenyan woman act like dudes and built like one
You’re absolutely right. A modern rail system is the only infrastructure project that makes sense. From kisumu to Nairobi should be a modern high speed rail. There’s already a line & I think they’re upgrading it to fit in line with the belt and road initiative, but I think it may be more geared towards exports than commute. Theres a line in Serbia and it’s about the same length if not shorter than the SGR to Mombasa but it’s costing less & it’s new. Maybe we’ll get inspired by your rail projects, because from the looks of it, Tanzania has much better public transport than Kenya
Very nice. Thank you for the content. I was in Pingwe Zanzibar in January. The people were very friendly and nice. I also briefly toured Stone town, on my way to the airport to catch my flight back to Kenya. Tanzania is very beautiful. I hope to visit again soon, although this next vacation we are planning on going to Mahe, Seychelles. Asante Sana.
Matatus are more comfortable than Dar BRTs in which people are packed like Sardines. There is no space to breath in your BRTs.

I am a Tanzanian and its a sad truth
@@MrIsma75 your a Kenyan
@@MrIsma75hatuna watanzania wa dizaini yako
In terms of comfortability Matatus are way better. Sometimes us Tanzanians we just like to argue for invalid reasons. I have been to BRT stands and stayed for hours waiting for the bus and when the bus arrives its fully packed or this situation has never happened to you?. If our BRT System is better why are giving it to foreign investor to run it?
Awesome vlog
I live and work in Nairobi, last time I was in the CBD is October 2023. You got that wrong. I agree with you on Metro system, light rails, trams, that can take Nairobi to a world class city, and also pedestrian infrastructure is still lacking.
Who is this guy? What is he talking about? We rudi kwenu acha upuzi wa tz hapa.
There are so many places you didn't not explore in Nairobi Nairobi cbd kilimani Westland Eastleigh are just asmall area of nairobi

1:09 Nairobi is kenya and kenya is Nairobi? Really? 😅 What are you on about? 😏
Whats wrong with that ?
It's like saying the US is Washington and Washington is the US. That means all three branches of government are in that area. He even went further to explain that while Dodoma is the capital of Tanzania, many decisions are made in Dar es Salaam. That's why he said that; it's just hatred toward Tanzania mko nayo ni border closure tu ndiyo inayoweza kusolve kila mtu abaki na kwake.
Na kwanza namshangaa huyu Bertin alienda kufanya nini kenya ingali anawajua Kenyans
Bcoz Nairobi holds almost everything?
Only a shallow Tanzanian makes those kind of daft statements. They need to develop Dodoma first!
@@esem135Dodoma has been in existence since 1973, you wonder when they will finish developing it

I lived in Nairobi for about 2 years. You are reminding me of those days back then.

We have some universities outside the city eg Kenyatta university
Next time come with a drone to nairobi, fly it outside places in Nairobi i.e Karen, Muthaiga, umoja, buru etc then conclude, visiting just cbd, pipeline,easich isnt enough to give any conclusion about Nairobi..if you dont have enough $$ to buy it, "sisi kwa sisi" tutakuchangia..

How can you say Kenya has 10 electric buses. Bro there are over 1k electric buses in Nairobi itself
Ok
Nice video mr Bertin but from what im seeing in this comment section i think Tanzanians should know that kenya is not quite their competitor or rather not as per the moment , i think you guys are too obsessed with competing for the east African economic power hub seat forgetting that you have not only kenya but also Ethiopia to deal with and so far thing ain't looking so promising, i just saw the World Bank article on African economies and Tanzania is down to the tenth place after being outgrown by Ivory coast while kenya is now above Angola , funny enough, Tanzania's gdp is closer to the 11th place than it is to ivory coast . Competition is good but Tanzania has alot to chew.

@Soon815 Even on the ground TZ is behind Kenya's development. There are a few things here that it is better than Kenya but overall Kenya still has it. You can deny and fools yourselves but facts don't change.
Nairobi is not totally heart beat of Kenya. Uganda, Ethiopia, and western DRC depend on Kenyas port which is in Mombasa, Kenyas second source of revenue is tourism, which is mostly around the rift valley like the safari and the coastal areas . Nairobi is not Kenya and Kenya isn't only Nairobi
Ok
Thank you Sir. Your review is very neutral. I'm Kenyan and I think we Kenyans overrate ourselves.
Karibu tena
I watched the whole Kenyan series and I can say you really tried to be professional and largely portrayed Kenya in a positive light. Hongera jirani! This final video is also fairly spot on. It is true Nairobi CBD is more crowded than Dar es Salaam despite Nairobi having slightly less population and this is partly due to lack of a proper public transit system. But we also have to accept that Nairobi is a bigger city with a bigger economy than Dar and Nairobians are more economically active than wanaDar es Salaam. Nairobi overgrew the CBD and now there are other commercial districts in Westlands, Upperhill, Kilimani and even Eastleigh (which by the way is even more bustling than CBD). Additionally, Nairobi has lots of estates (suburbs) which have branches of the major banks, major supermarket chains and other amenities, thus one can go for months without having to visit the city center. In short, you were mostly wrong to say that everything is in the CBD and that Nairobi is Kenya and Kenya is Nairobi. Kenya's second largest city, Mombasa, for instance, is way bigger than Tanzania's second largest city Mwanza.
Ok.
Nonsense nairobi is nowhere near dar es salaam
@@Soon815 Can you name any multinational with East African headquarters in Dar es Salaam? Or can you explain why JNIA only handles 2.5 million passengers while JKIA airport handles 7.5 million, or why Nairobi has more than 4000 dollar millionaires while Dar has only 1200? I can continue.
Tanzanian here, my last time in Nairobi Kenya was 2018 and i have been there thrice.
What i can say is that Nairobi is good. Our neighbors have got a beautiful city and county.
The only problem with Kenya is politicians. It's like they have sold that country to the Western Europe and USA and i say this because of the policies the country is adopting now. Eg the tax laws and GMO agricultural products. , And medical staff like HPV vaccine for teenagers though it's banned now.
But honestly i liked Nairobi and Kenyan culture in totality.
If i were to recommend how Kenya should improve especially culturally i will say they should improve their relationship with their police officers like Tanzania 🇹🇿 it will improve their security especially on terrorism though i don't mean Kenya is insecure.

nairobi is more n more advanced city .it will take ages for other cities in E.A ...to reach that status...fact 5days in nbi not enough at all.
Ok.
Nairobi is truly congested ... even enock sikolia covered it well in one of his documentarues i think we should learn from dar ..... and improve our public transport cause there are so many bottlenecks and cross country travel is contributing to this ... let alone matatus ... in my opinion we didnt even have to build the expressway its not even alleviating the traffic grid locks in the city ... thats not a modern day solution... uhunye messed up ... i havent been to Dar but from my campus research in urban design , since i study architecture, they have really leveraged on an integrated transport system... eg brt stations to sgr ...it is seamless something namata here in kenya was to implement but failed ...
I am honestly glad you gave an honest opinion as a foreigner in our lands ... though you were abit nice ...Nairobi isn't well planned ...honestly you said it well ...small Nissans travelling to kisumu eld etc and then universities within the city 🤦🏾♂️ honestly we need to build a new and proper capital city 😂
