Kudos Bertkn. You are the first youtuber I av seen brave enough to cover for us Kisauni ya uswahilini. Nime enjoy kuona mitaa yangu.
Dear Bertin, as I had told you, this my hometown. I was born and brought up here. So my comment is going to be one of the longest, if not the longest on your channel, sokoo. Buckle up!!!
First thing first, I propose you just speak to the citizens of this beautiful town, in Swahili. Ni bora kuliko English.
Now, a few corrections, at the 1:58 mark the rider tells you that thst is the main street. No it is not. Moi avenue (the name of the street) is just one of the main streets. What you could consider the main streets include Nyerere Rd (named after the Tz president) that runs from Likoni Ferry to Pandya Roundabout (ask any boda guy and he'll show you). From there to "Barclays Digo Rd" roundabout (minute 3:22), it is called Digo Rd (on the left is the famous Mackinnon Market also known as Marikiti). From the r/about to the place at minute 6:08 it is called Abdel Nasser street (named after the former Egyptian President). Post the minute mark, it is known as Sheikh Abdulla S Rd (where you were stuck in traffic - with Coast General Hospital on your left). All that stretch is indexed as A14, part of multinational A14 road that starts at Bagamoyo, Tz, all the way to Malindi up north.
The other main road starts at "Barclays Digo Rd" r/about and goes all the way to Mainland west before continuing to Nairobi as the Highway A109.
At the minute 7:55 mark is the Buxton Point, which is one of the grand public housing projects that is part of the current national government's plan.
At mark 9:30 is the "Happy Hour" initiative used to alleviate traffic gridlock to north coast. It involves opening all the roads to drive in direction for about 15 minutes from 5:30pm all weekdays.
At minute 9:40 is Tudor (pronounced as chUUda) Nora across the Tudor Creek. It is one of Mombasa's more affluent neighborhoods.
The area at minute 13:04 is called Barsheba like the city in the Bible. Kisauni is not an estate but one of Mombasa County's six sub-counties. Barsheba is one of the "districts" of Kisauni. Think of Kisauni like of Dar es Salaam's 5 districts (eg Ubungo), and Barsheba as a Mtaa (eg Msewe). Minute 13:38 is Mlaleo, minute 16:01 is Mtopanga (named after a brook that used to cross that exact location before it was blocked) aka Panga River.
From minute 17:36 to the end of the video are specific residential complexes, and estates, starting with Zaituni/Ratna, Bashir/Ajanta (at minute 18:19), Lakeview (18:46), before joining the Bamburi Mtambo Rd at minute 19:29 (the road is named after the Bamburi Cement Factory found along the road)
Hope all these help.
PS: most if not all "boda boda" riders (and generally all residents of the city) don't really know road names.
Unlike in Tanzania where people navigate via road names and indices, Kenyans navigate with landmarks. I believe by now you should've noticed we are not very good at naming, indexing and marking our roads (unlike say Tanga and it's 21 indexed roads).
So you are best placed to activate Google Map on your phone and use it to navigate the city (Kenya is one of the very few African countries that have been mapped very well by Google.)
Be blessed.
Very well explained
Mombasa appears to be on the same level as Dar es Salaam in terms of development and infrastructure! 👀🤔The only thing remaining is to build a BRT system like Dar and we’re good to go! 😊 Otherwise nice video 👍
hehehe unamatatizo ya akili ww
Ni ujinga tu umeandika hapa.
Mombasa can be compared to Tanga. And this is ur second largest city 😅
hii Mombasa au kuna nyingine. Zanzibar town inaizidi hii mombasa nakwambia
😂😂😂 we ni mshamba kweli,, kando na sky scrapers,, Nairobi haiwezi ifikia Dar kwa ukwabwa na kwa infrastructure,, Nasema kama mkenya 🇰🇪,, usiangalie CBD , Dar ni kubwa
Glad to see you again 😊 watching from Nairobi
Now you should also show us the raw unfiltered potholes of Dar es salaam roads right in the CBD.. starting with ILARA! Also show us the raw unfiltered dirty old buildings behind the Electric train station where hawkers are busy selling boiled maize, Tea and the likes . Don't only be raw and unfiltered in other people's countries but "Censor" the rot in yours because some of us have lived and worked in Tanzania.
Sawa umeishi Tz lakini Ilara sio Tz.😂😂
We don't have ilara in Tz. It's clear that you know nothing about Dar mathare dweller mmoja tu
@@isackrichard6356hatuangalii mjengo sisi tunaangalia uchumi ambiyo ni among the largest in sub Sahara Africa
Wanaonyesha Mombasa ghettos halafu akiwa Dar anatuonyesha the equivalent of Runda and Westlands😅 yet the Mombasa economy still beats all their cities 😅
@@isackrichard6356 Go and argue with Google maps, you uneducated tanzanian..you clearly don't know dar es salaam..if you think mentioning mathare get's me started you miserably wrong! Ilara has potholes almost the size of man caves that you would never find in Nairobi yet your people lie to yourselves that you are developed 🤣🤣🤣
Don't forget to visit old town mombasa
Nyumba ni kama tu za Daresalaam.
Mombasa is a fairly big city. In comparison to Dar, to be honest Dar is much bigger and far developed than Mombasa. But it will b unfair to put mombasa on the same level with cities like Mwanza, Tanga, Arusha etc. Mombasa ranks at no 21 among the wealthiest cities in Africa
Good to notice that
Xont be shocked about the traffic its bcz of the rd construction going on ahead of Nyali bridge once it is completed , everything will be nyweee 😂
Seems like The Kißauni areas have alot of similarities with Tanga
I like it the way its raw and unfiltered. Thanks for showing us Mombasa. I see similarities with Zanzibar and Tanga. The government of Mombasa should do something about public transportation. They can introduce big buses like the way it is in kigali Rwanda or if they have a huge budget, they can close some roads and introduce a BRT system or trams. Matatu and Tuktuks may be banned to access the Island but rather they build them a bus Stage somewhere near bridges where they will pick people who will be bought by trams/brt buses from cbd. just like the way they do it in Dar es Salaam BRT terminals
What is this obsession with brts with Tanzanians? Not everybody wants to stand in a bus for minutes on end.
@@Firestarter001 Take advice or leave it and stuck at nyali bridge for 3 hours. Sometime lower your Kenyan egos..Some understanding Kenyans have no egos just like AFC leopard that is in Tanzania trying to learn/benchmark from Yanga Team and other Tanzanian team on how to be successful in CAF club competitions
And am sure Sakaja will come to Dar to see and benchmark how BRY works
@@magazijuto7991 we have cities like Tatu city which have state of the art infrastructure and tech. We don't need to come to Tanzania to see your overcrowded brts.
@@magazijuto7991 Bertin should also show us the raw unfiltered potholes of Dar es salaam roads!! Especially those ones in ilara..I was shocked when i toured to notice that your city has numerous potholes right in the middle of the Central Business District.
@@Firestarter001 hahah! Eti tatu city 😂😂
Ivi niulize ile na konza ni city kweli au vijiji vilivyowekewa lami?
Konza has only one building afu unasema nini even Magufuli government city in Dodoma is better than the two😅😅
It looks like Tanga only that it’s more populated!
Which Tanga u talking about it ?
Kinondoni district in Dar es salaam is very bigger than whole Mombasa county, bitter truth, google it 😂 and Dar es salaam has got 5 districts
@@mosesjacksonkarashani2642 Tanga hile ya wasamba town center ni ngamiani masihara
Unaka kunuka vibaya, tanga ni sewage, kubisha na nyeri town
@@Cannon_mwangi ndio namshaanga hanacompea Mombasa na Tanga kwanza Haina town
If Bbertin can say Mombasa is a oroper city na ako kwa ground who are you to object Bertin siu elezee country men wenzako kuwa MBS is huge and a proper city still developing mimi naona Tanga hapa na shtuka ju nishai enda
Now compare it Mwanza or Arusha. Those cities are more beautiful, clean, developed and clean. Dodoma also is coming up also very nicely
@@magazijuto7991 we mzee Wacha kukosea Mombasa heshima ati Mwanza na Arusha how dare you
@@magazijuto7991 Nikikumbuka economy ya NAIROBI ni kubwa kuliko ya TZ yote 😅 tusikoseane heshima tafadhali ,ati Mwanza NKT 🫴
Even Mwanza city is bigger and developed than this old Mombasa. Mwanza has the longest Bridge in east Africa 3.2km Magufuli bridge and 20km of dual carriageway road connecting Mwanza city with the bridge, Mwanza has biggest lake shipyard in Africa, Mwanza has 2 biggest passenger ships which are New Mwanza and Mv victoria which carry 1200 people each. Mwanza has beautiful waterfronts like Kamanga and malaika.
@@magazijuto7991you think having a bridge makes a city developed. Now it makes sense why Tanzanian education is system does not feature in the top 15 in Africa. You clearly lack critical thinking.
What do you mean by Kenya is not just Nairobi? That statement does not make any sense. Of course there will be other cities in every country besides the capital.
It's now make sense why Kenyan vlogers won't vlog in Mombasa, instead they crossing the border.
How many Kenyan UA-camrs do you know because nearly all Kenyan UA-camrs have featured Mombasa in their videos, go watch Dolphin 254, African Tigress, Nairofey...the list is endless!! Mombasa and the entire coastal region has some very beautiful sceneries and tourist attractions that cannot be judged in a 20 minutes video.
@@genesisbera7761 Mombasa kumechoka bwana. ukweli usemwe haina tofauti na world heritage site ya Zanzibar. I expected because of the port Mombasa could be developed but hii ni Tanga iliyochangamka.
@@magazijuto7991 The old town is what attracts tourists, all the way from fort Jesus, to the narrow streets of lamu where no vehicles pass but donkeys...it is the same as Zanzibar when i visited last year . There is also the developed part that is modern, in places like Nyali, Suki , etc ..i thought the comment here was that Kenyans don't show Mombasa, after i have given you facts you are now saying Mombasa imechoka?? You are just another tanzanian trying to feel good about your country by putting Mombasa down. I have toured even dar es salaam extensively and there are very many old buildings.
@@magazijuto7991Mombasa is also the oldest city in Kenya, so what did you expect?places like Mama Ngina water font, Dongo kundu by pass and many others are developed.. Take time and tour Kenya yourself and stop relying on UA-cam videos to show you a country, you will not get the full information and scenery
@@genesisbera7761 Ok you visited Zanzibar right. Compare public Modern water transport btn Dar and Zanzibar or Zanzibar and pemba. Those fast ferries...why can't you have such kind of public transportation connecting coastal cities with lamu? Have you ever heard of Fumba uptown and Fumba town in Zanzibar? just google about them...Dar is twice in size Nairobi so there are old buildings, new buildings and modern skyscrappers unless you visited only ilala district that is old Dar es Salaam
U got a very lousy navigator who cant communicate at all and does not seem conversant with his navigation duty! He cant even pin point where he is, where you come from neither where you are heading to, so boring to listen to him na ni mwenyeji....

Jiji la Usenge,, sisi kama wabara tunawahurumia wazawa na wakaazi,, Mombasa imetekwa nyara.
Bara akuna masenge mzee?
