I am black American and I lived in Mombasa for a year. Best year of my life!
Thanks for visiting. Welcome back again.
Would you recommend Mombasa over Nairobi? And have you been to any other African countries. And if so, how do you compare them to Kenya?
As a Nigerian man I luv our kenya brothers and sisters ,they re loving people 🇰🇪 🇳🇬
We love you too guys love from Kenya 🇰🇪
They really are sweethearts 🇳🇬
Most welcome our West African brothers.
I know we be going in on each other sometimes but it's all love always 😂 We are family!! 🇰🇪 🇳🇬 ❤️❤️❤️
The Kenyans certainly don’t like all you Nigerian cyber scammers kewli
Africans telling the African story, love it!!
I came to Mombasa as a tourist but I decided to settle permanently due to this fascination
Where do you come from brother?
From Nigeria 🇳🇬 I'm sending love to Kenya and Kenyans. Beautiful people 💜💜 God bless Kenya
Am A Nigerian living in Mombasa,Bro welcome to Mombasa👌
That's amazing, how do you find Mombasa? ☺️
In South Africa - Bantu education had Mombasa on its syllabus in 1992. So happy to see the place being profiled. Children never forget what they learn.
Im Norwegian and visiting mombasa was one of my best trips! Lovely people!
Plastic papers are banned throughout in Kenya... they're planning to extend the ban on bottles as well this year. Beautiful video,, and karibu tena na tena 🥰.
East Africa is such a beautiful place. That's my second home.. Karibu tena
I Love Mombasa ❤💕❤ Uber & Bolt Drivers are real cool, humble people. Its also cheap & easy moving around in an Uber or Bolt. Mombasa people are pretty easy going people. 💕❤💕❤ i'm a Nigerian living in Europe. 🇳🇬
Thank you Tayo Aina for showing us beautiful Kenya, love from Naija 🇳🇬
Mombasa is a Beautiful City... VIVA MOMBASA VIVA KENYA.
Thank you for showcasing a bit of Mombasa. There is more to Coastal Kenya than Mombasa. Award-winning Diani Beach, Watamu, Kilifi, Malindi, Lamu with the beautiful Shela island that can be easily confused for Santorini in Greece. Coastal and all of Kenya is worth visiting.
Hope this message finds you doing well. Thinking about coming to the coast to bring in the new year. What hotels, airbnb would you recommend to really enjoy the coastal experience? Want to experience beautiful sunsets, with nothing but white sand crystal blue waters. Would be great to find a place where I can usher in the new year in a lively atmosphere. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Very nice video! I was in Mombasa about one week ago, definitely one of the best trip of my life! The city is so lively especially at night. Bamburi, mtwapa, there was always something to do!! I couldn't tell the difference between Monday night or a Saturday night like seriously! My kenyan brothers knows how to party. Don't even get me started with the food sheesh
😂😂 shout out to Mtwapa and Bamburi...
@@brayo001 🤣🤣 so much fun!!
Kenya is beautiful country. Hope to visit in 2023.
missing home after watching your video Tayo! Nigerian brothers and sisters should visit Mombasa. All Africans too
I never actually knew Mumbasa was a part of Kenya. Simply beautiful 🇳🇬
Oldest city in Kenya. 2nd largest.
? Like saying I am shocked port Harcourt is in Nigeria?
@@bloggtalk5085
No, don't take this wrong way pls. I love Kenya and the loving people of Kenya very much, I actually consider Kenya a country Nigeria cannot do without. it's just that Nairobi was all that my news and info feeds always fed me with all this time. 🇰🇪 ❤️🇳🇬
@@ladysafari01
Great city indeed
@@bloggtalk5085
Stop being so butthurt, you cannot fault a man for what he doesn't know.
Tayo thanks for showcasing our beautiful coastal paradise. Your Kenyan fan 🇰🇪
Bella olum thanks for supporting our African content creators ..I've always been reading your comments in almost every African content creator I follow from wodemaya , miss Trudy , Tigress , Marwa , now Tayo and also the African American Brittney.
@@defny5555 Wow ok, thank you for appreciating me. If someone has good content we must support.
Congrats on this partnership, Tayo 👏🏿 Big things are in store for you.
I'm half-Kenyan, we went when I was 4, it's one of my oldest memories now at the age of 26. We were meant to go back on a "heritage trip" in Dec. 2020 when my older sister finished med-school and I had finished my undergrad. Life had other plans, but my Dad and I are planning to go this December (2022). I've been able to fo a lot of international travel since I began college, and just got back from London last week (28/10/2022) as my second solo trip and eighth country - we are planning to go to Mombasa on this trip and I cannot wait. Please pray round trip tickets stay under $2,100 come 15 Nov. 2022, that's when we are going to book flights and that's our per person limit.
I´ve never heard about Mombasa before, it´s so beautiful. I will visit it someday.
Great place great people disturbing police thats my experience
@@yusu0154I have very bad experiences with those Mombasa cops
Thank you Tayo for covering Mombasa Kenya 🇰🇪🇳🇬 😊 much ❤
How long are you in Mombasa for
Welcome My Beautiful Homeland Kenya Mombasa Raha Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 watching
Greetings for Magic Lenny and beautiful Mombasa !
Kenya is so blessed.No wonder it always scoops best tourist country in Africa
Hey..He should have visisted Mama Ngina water front to sample the street foods and enjoy the views of the ocean from there, also taken a Ferry at Likoni.Also showcased how clean the city is, with its blue and white painted buildings. Nyali could have also been a good spot to visit
Tayo always shining a bright light on Africa 🙏
@Tayo Aina, you said "Arab, Indian, and colonial European heritage" This eliminates the Swahili civilization's agency, which is the city's founding civilization. Taking away this agency erases its Blackness. I think that should have been phrased better. Other than that, I love that you love East Africa and you keep coming back.
Let me educate you about 'SWAHILI' and swahili culture. Swahili is coming from an arabic word meaning coast or coastal people. Swahili culture is a blend of bantu, arabic and indian culture blended together because mombasa is a melting pot of cultures. Swahili language is a mixture of bantu, and heavy loanwords from arabic indian and a little portuguese. So you cannot mention mombasa and swahili by eliminating its arab, asian and portuguese heritage. I myself being born and live in mombasa i am a 6th generation indian with mixed bantu heritage. I hope you understand now
It's not a secret that the African origins and African agency of the coastal people who later came to be known as the Swahili people was distorted to fit colonial narratives. It was African first before anything else
@@shuaibaslam6247 kiswahili as language is 90% a Bantu language.
@@shuaibaslam6247 good explanation brother.
Hapo umenoa kaka. Soma vizuri historia ya Mombasa.
Proud to be a Kenyan .. being a student at the Technical university of Mombasa we usually say "Hakuna Matata" , Swahili to mean all is well
We don’t say that
@@Annie-dl9vd thank you😂. No Kenyan actually says that
@@Annie-dl9vd 🤣🤣
Cumon he is trying to be kind to tourists🤣🤣
Beautiful city, beautiful people.
You’re on DW once again. You’re going to be a popular V.I.P. A great video like always.Best regards. Greetings from Europe.
I'm so drawn to eastern Africa. Such a beautiful place, and the best coffee in the world. Tanzania is a very close second.
I stay in Mombasa, and work 5 min away from fort jesus but I have learnt things I never knew about today. Thank you
@tayoaina ….great job as always👏🏾…. Nairobi is also a beautiful, well maintained city with lovely trees, cooler weather & the National park there has lots of animals (giraffes, lions, zebras, wildebeest, buffaloes, rhinos, etc). Pride of Africa 🌍
Tayo, so many thanks for this great job. And thanks to DW!
It's exhilarating to see the Africa that mainstream media will not show.
Africa is beautiful! God bless Mama Africa and her peoples!
Looks so beautiful! I’m planning a trip to Mombasa soon so this was great to watch 👍🏾
Ma man Tayo, wow the beaches of Mombasa are one of the cleanest in Africa.Pls tell Wode Maya the cleanest breaches are in the East .

Thanks @Tayo Aina for walking through Mombasa. Great Episode.
Beautiful Video! My best part of the video was the beach and Fort Jesus, what a remarkable building!
Great video. Mombasa looks chilled.
Wow, beautiful!!!!
As a Kenyan.. a bit of history.. Mombasa and 3 mile strip of coast from Kenya into Tanzania was not part of Kenya till independence but was part of region ruled by sultan rulers based in Zanzibar. The ruler made a deal to cede the strip to UK king George V in exchange for recognizing the culture religion and people who inhabit the region. It was incorporated into Republic of Kenya in 1964.
Mombasa was actually inhabited by Bantus (Miji Kendas) before the arrival of Arabs, Persians, Portuguese, British etc. There were many battles for ownership which changed hands until the British arrived. At some point the ownership fell into the hands of the Omanis who also ruled Zanzibar. So as much the Sultan of Zanzibar ruled Mombasa at some point, they were completely separate territories and were never one and the same, just the same Sultan. Infact, some quotas claim Zanzibar was to be part of Kenya.
it was already part of the protectorate before independence. george died before kenyas independece
You mean the Omani SLAVE TRADERS and THUGS
@@esem135 Mombasa was not inhabited by mijikenda stop lies. Mijikenda came 700 years ago from Congo. The swahilis people were the first bantus to settle at the coast . Then at that time the swahilis were known as Wangozi. The name swahili were given by the Arab traveler Mohammed ibn Batuta. When he went back to Morocco he explained to the king what he saw at the coast and he called the wangozi as civilized Ahlul swahil. Mean people of the coast. Visit lamu ,Gede ,Faza islands you will see ruins of building built more than 1000 years . There is a mosque in Taqwa which was built 1400 years. ago by the swahilis. Secondly, the swahilis were trading with the Arabs since 4th century. All you know about the Arabs is Omanis came to fight the Portuguese . Infacts the arabs have been at the coast before mijikenda.
@@TheTororist There was Kenya colony and British protectorate. Coast was not part of Kenya colony. Coast was merged into Kenya on 10 December 1964 . It was an agreement which will to last for 50 years. Right now according to what was sign Kenya should leave coast. That's why we members of MRC we want sussesion from Kenya. Pwani si Kenya!
