Let's journey together!
The music in this video makes me feel so emotional. It makes me feel like: Yes I know heaven is not on earth but if it was then surely Kenya would be it. Surely Kenyans would be leading the worship in heaven. And Swahili would be the language there.
😂Wewe tuchoche tu
@@Eddyke I am not joking. I am serious. Of course heaven wont be like earth but when I hear Swahili praise and worship I feel like heaven will be like that.
@@David_Owsnett alright I get you...mkono wa bwana by zabron singers does that for me
Thanks
My first time in Kiambu was December 1995. I went to KIST and I remember giving a talk on firsts. First time in Africa. First time in Kenya. First time in Kiambu. First time on an aeroplane. I wonder what those guys I talked to are doing now and where they went in the world. Kiambu is a beautiful area.
Bro you should write a book of your journey through Kenya. Your experience is so vivid when I read.
Showing the beauty of Kenya from the air. There's this series on the Smithsonian Channel called Aerial America. Maybe you can produce Aerial Kenya for each County. Kenya is beautiful ile mbaya.
I wish to do thesame pia.
Yeah I support the idea am also a big fan of Aerial America and aerial cities
Manze i watch that show too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!that's a great idea, for a Kenyan version
This channel will blow up one day, keep traveling
I'm an avid watcher of the Afrikan traveller videos, and decided to subscribe today. It gives me a lot of joy and hope for my home country Kenya. Keep up the fantastic work....watching from Atlanta Georgia.
Thank you for the sub🙏🙏🙏
Farmland giving way to real estate isn't a recent phenomenon, it is established practice, almost muscle memory. You need to look at some of the older neighbourhoods such as Karen and Lavington to see evidence of this. It carried on with Runda and others along Limuru road and is taking place in Ruiru right now. A pain point is forests around the city getting converted to real estate. The Nairobi national park just survived by a whisker, this was in the cross hairs, however, there was retreat. There might be another attempt to excise in the future, who knows..
I hope we will never loose the current forest land and Parks to real estates. The society is currently also very vigilant.
@@AfrikanTraveller for starters, lets see how these pretty tea estates fare the moment Kiambu Road is turned into a dual carriage way, soon enough..
These farms are private. The neighboring Karura forest is intact despite some encroachment during Baba Nyayo corruption era. People have the right to exploit their resources. Those who are crusading for the environment can lobby for the preservation and restoration of gazetted government forests. Let private developers grow the economy. There is something called sustainable development.
We should have legislation whereby we shouldn't sub divide land, kiambu is becoming too urbanised
Excellent job! You put things into context so well.
Thank you.
The reason people are moving and building in the outskirts of Nairobi is as you stated the prices. For example, when it comes to rent, you can find a 4-5 bedroom massionette going for 50k ($500) p/m in the outskirts (places like Mlolongo, Athi river, Utawala, Kiambu etc) but in areas close to the city (Westlands, Upperhill, Kilimani etc) a 2 bedroom apartment can go for upto 250k ($2500) a month.
The difference is usually huge.
@Anyway Uncle Santa By now you should have realized no one is giving you any attention!..Scout your negativity to another channel.
Kuna place nikipata nyumba nitakuwa najipiga kofi kila morning kuhakikisha ni mimi.
😄😄😄😄😄😄
hahah nipe iyo kazi ya kukupiga kofi
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Why
Damn! manh this is beautiful and real.Love it
I’ve lived outside my country for 17 yrs, and I must say, your videos are what we really need to tell ‘our stories’. And what a gentleman too, to present them! Keep up the good work.
Thank you, gladly keeping you guys upto date.
That right there is the best sky view of Kiambu I've ever seen.
Thank you
these concrete jungles should be taken to the vast land in eastern. The government should do something. Wasting agricultural land for 'leafy suburbs'. The answer is water and you'll see wastelands become estates
Land sio ya government.
Once again absolutely brilliant plus the music is very thoughtful.
Hope you can get to Nyahururu some time and a look at the outlying communities.
Sure I will. Thank you.
Kenya is Really Beautiful and Blessed 🙏🏼
We are indeed blessed with mother nature.
Wow, kiambu is a good place to live in
Beautiful houses in thindigua. Am speechless 🙊
Wow its a great video
The music is so soothing. My beautiful country. I miss you 😘. Good job .thank you so much
Karibu sana.
Wow..magnificent 💪🏼
Thank you.
I used to shoplift Goody Goody and toffee in KAMINDI supermarket when i was a kido, fun times in kiambu county. VIVA Kiambu!
What do you mean shop lIft, kuiba ama, kubebea watu mizigo?
@@ewm4266 wewe..... shop lift ni kuiba.... Goody goody ni chocolate... uta bebeaji mtu...
Hope you changed. That's disgusting
The green 👌 and arrangements 😍😍.
Kabisa
It's we the youth to change backgrounds and styles of Africa
So true.
Very nice views
Beautiful Kiambu, Pls Pple Preserve this Beauty, Once it's Lost ,Haita Zoleka Tena!!
I was born here; beautiful drone shots; I love it
A lot of the yt drink teas. I love tea as well. Found Rooibos Tea on Amazon. Unsure if it’s farmed where you live. Anyhow it’s delicious! Tastier than green tea. Great job Afrikan Traveller!
I have tried Rooibos tea, it's very common in Southern African countries. It's awesome 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
Asante sana kwa kazi nzuri.
Karibu Sana.
great piece
Thank you.
This chanel is growing rapidly and I give glory to God alone
Thank you, I give Glory to God
You should do thika as well.
I will
Beautiful place 😍.
The full video finally
Yes Bro.
Wow great
Great great video. Could you please do a tour of Syokimau/Katani area as well?
I did before, Katani road, you can't fly drone on that side coz of JKIA
In the next 50 years those tea plantations will no longer be there as the way people are investing in those areas at least if the government was to come in and stop the investment so that we can preserve the tea plantations in our country there are so many places we can invest like those region which are arid and region which are semiarid we can preserve them for farming.
The govt should do something ASAP before it's too late.
Tea and Coffee to benefit who? Any legislation to hinder the development will be shot down on arrival. We are tired of servitude and exploitation of this kind of farming. There are many other places that can grow that stuff if they are so much in love with it. It doesn't make sense to us!
Tea and Coffee for the wazungu? Those stupid plants zingolewe Kenya watu wapande chakula
@@afro-centric2653 Mzungu scam plants
@@cytkl Kenya there is enough food for everyone, artificial shortages and wastage are the problems we suffer
Very beautiful
Kiambu is beautiful, I've lived in Thindigua and Runda paradise before very cool
Wow! Real a nice place.
Kiambu is beautiful 😍
wow I like this...my home land
Wow 😯😯😯❤️❤️ me totally speechless.... Beautiful ❤️. East, North nd South of Africa has the most beautiful infrastructures nd accommodation than the West Africa
Why make comparison????
@@moham.279 we compare to give out the best. We're all in a race in the world to develop nd build a better nation
Kiambu ni green vizuri..landowners wanafaa wapreserve izo miti vizuri
Kiambu is much more developed than I had thought. Yes, I agree with you about it becoming a concrete jungle.
Weeh Kiambu is something else
Cool👍
👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
Could Kindly Give us a Tour of The Homes At 21:00-22:30
The land is so lush
So beautiful
Beautiful ❤️😍
Thanks Lorraine
Great scenes..possible for you to opt for english subtitles..👌
Proud of my county
umeweza !! ✊ 💫
Thanks
My home county ❤️❤️
You are doing a great job. There goes our food and bread basket. In another 10-20 years time we will really more on Tanzania and Uganda for our food.
We need to explore irrigation systems across the country. Big chunk of land is still under utilised.
Yep true, this new people should move out of kiambu
The most barren land or not so much productive land should be used in buildings, and productive farming land to be just used as such.
But do they think,or they just politic.
Loved the video, and the aerial shot.
Which drone did you use?
I also hate it how they are just building and building
The town is kicking off but it will need better urban planning and proper controls to prevent it from becoming a big slum.
We don't pluck coffee we pick
You don’t pluck coffee u pick it ! 😎
Thanks😉
Just go with the flow, We are not in grammar class
Please watch the ads too, so that he can make money...thank you
Good stuff, bro. Sad, though, coffee plantations are giving way to concrete 'plantations'. At about 14:00 onwards, those are amazing homes.
Sad reality we leave in.
I am from Kiambu, the reason behind housing development is because farmers never get the return of their hard work in those coffee plantations. Imagine doing all coffee work which is one of the hardest work out there and all what you get in return is zero money...cartels took over the coffee business and farmers never get anything. This started in 90s and hasn't get any better.
Came to Mombasa now after kiambu
Lockdown ndio shida.
Views for days
My home county 👍 chomba wa Karuri
Kiambu Market in Kikuyu Kangangi Maket ya Wangige is Kimani market all with good Mitura African sausages......but here let be serious R.I.P our Tea and coffee
Dope
Thanks
One day they will start wondering why food prices are so high. Once the farms lands are lost, the never coming back.
my home state
Kiambu has a completely different feel than Nairobi. I took some of my best pics there.
So true, quite laidback and so fresh and Green.
Love the house but that is agricultural land soon kiambu will be a concrete jungle. I don't understand our leaders.
You know you can as well plant coffee and tea bushes in your backyard if you like. Right? Let developers grow the economy.
@@afro-centric2653 not really. This country has food insecurity issue yet we are using fertile soils for concrete living. That's messed up and then the population of the country is growing rapidly and we are not near efficiency is food production. Food will be gold in Kenya in the coming years
@@afro-centric2653 Only stupid people replace agricultural land with construction.
@@gamerflick5895 Thank you..Explain to him.Soon we will be importing Tea and Coffee from abroad at hefty prices,while we were among the worlds largest Tea and Coffee exporters.
@@afro-centric2653 Agricultural land should be protected for future generations, go to Europe or America, no one can build residential houses of farming land.
Ps , when are you going to do muranga county .. especially side za Kanyenya-ini ? Mathioya the land of Billionares 🙈! The Aberdares .. will sponsor Mafuta !
Wao... Amazingly beautiful view.
Time for you to create aside hustle touring people on those Estate/ Cities and charging them. Am sure most of Diasporians would like to take rides on those cities with a professional like you and someone who knows the place. Expand your biz . I love the work you are doing. Not all people come to enjoy life in the beach or safaris. Some of us would like to see country side and get inspired & motivated on the ground.
Pin your Contacts...Email...on your Videos and am sure many will do the rides with a cost and promote your Job.
I like such rides but I do them with a car hire or a Taxi and sometimes the driver doesn't know the place well which is abit disappointing. I will come and drive on this Area..I love it.
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾.
kiambu is just a few kilometers from Nairobi, its like far far lol
Finally, I subscribed after I couldn't ignore your content anymore. final finally no matter what Uhuru might make you believe, Kiambu is not Nairobi, we are not Nairobi we are Kiambu please, in fact, my homie told me he has lived in rural Kenya all his life and he is in kinoo. please its Kiambu and Nairobi cant be in the same sentence. your vlogs are IT.
Thank you for finally subscribing. Yes Kiambu is not Nairobi but under Nairobi's Metropolitan 😊
Understanding Nairobi County and Nairobi Metropolitan is a head spinner
*Nairobi metropolis.... Wide nairobi in lay terms.
You're just like your name muchene,,tutigithie muchene 😂
@@Benjamin-ny7qt haha :)
Kahawa na misitu itakuja kua history
kiambu to me is the best place investors made a good deal investing there.
In my opinion I'm against the distributing the coffee plantation
I worked and lived in Kiambu for about 8 years. Lived in the apartments at 10:45( Sheqel) for some time. The owner's wife was gunned down during the time I was living there.
So sad 😢,
James..By thugs or?
@@Tata-bd9nx more like hitmen. Nothing was stolen during the murder. Even her car was left as is.
She was my neighbour, njoki was an avid businesswoman but I didn't like it how she treated her workers
Kiambu is really developed. I used to live there over 30 years and it was not this developed then.
This have really changed since then.
This is not development, its destruction
Compare kiambu and kisumu,or Bungoma
Actually Bro the reason why Kiambu Town dint grow is because they left the old old Kiambu Town to the Indians now is like a slum Thika Limumuru, Kikuyu by far I think are much bigger Town even though they all fall under Kiambu
Thanks for the info Bro
Old kiambu is there right from Nova Hotel as you going Kanunga High or Turitu Loreto Turitu gals 5 mim drive is a museum mimi ni wa County 22 Damu love where I came from which aparrrently Kiambu County don't know it all but got few things I know but so vast we can't know it properly Bro. See you soon
@@AfrikanTraveller The one there is new Kiambu which had even Afraha cinema Theater don't know wheather still exstist that our age me and you there Novatel hotel 5 min drive youll see old Kiambu Town new one have no plans they left Maps to the Indians Colonies times
@@AfrikanTraveller And that road will take you even to Senior koinange hihg school to Banana/karuri
@@AfrikanTraveller And famous KIAMBU High not very far from old Kiambu
17:56 Those houses are beautiful. How much does it cost?
Check Edenville Estate on Google
In eden ville, they go for 25m, there about
Can't you just get it, you offer us essential services ,while we stay at home in keeping up with health guidelines we are updated without travelling. Wewe ni ka press useme hivyo kwa road block, hope you won't get clobbered.
😄😄😄😄 this essential service can get me in problems. Naweza pita wanikazie kurudi🙆🏿♂️🙆🏿♂️
It's the richest county!!
Nairobi is much richer. I think even nakuru surpassed kiambu
Sure it is the richest!
@@TheTororist 😂😂sawa basi
The richest is Nairobi, Nakuru, kiambu, Mombasa then machakos. Latest rank.
@Papi Meru has a higher GDP than Nyeri.
The music is kinda sad to signify the green beauty we're about to loose to urbanisation in the next few decades 😢😢
Very sad😧😧
Wish you could take a fun with you once in a while....
I will some day for sure.
What's the name of that estate at 21:45?
Edenville Estate
@@AfrikanTraveller Thanks
Please don't tell us you didn't buy that liquid protector at 9:59 😅😅👍
😂😂😂😂 too bad sikubuy
Watu wa kiambu mko wapi
Niko hapa
Acres n acres ,
It's beautiful nature
ads have started to be too many
and the video longer as well
He needs to make money too, don’t be selfish
Please watch them ndio amake doo🤗🤗, help him help you.😜😜😜
With all the billions and billionaires in and around Kiambu, driving through downtown looks pretty pathetic. I’m very disappointed looks like Nandi Hills.
Kiambu isnt Nairobi!!!
Who said it's in Nairobi?
Did you even watch? Too quick to comment 🤔
This channel will blow up one day, keep traveling
Thank you, fingers crossed 😊😊😊
