    I am Tanzanian who live in Arusha, for me i prefer Nairobi to Dar. It is close and easy for me to go to Nrb than Dar. Arusha to Dar 700 kms whle Nairobi is only 250 kms away. Wheather in Nairobi is very similar to that of Arusha cold Dar is too hot. All in all we are all East Africans same backgrounds, same culture lets love one another.

    As Tanzanian i can agree to some point on what youre saying because i lived in Dar and i visited Nairobi regularly, these two cities and people can not be compared, Nairobi is more modern and advanced technologically and socially way far than Dar, Dar is full of coastal people who are much slower and Swahili Natives, Nairobians can only be compared by people from Northen Tanzania, Arusha and Kilimanjaro. Dar is beautiful city and is growing fast but Nairobi is on another level, and it is the people makes that difference.

      @@raandit471 Many of tourists attractions in Kenya are around or closer to Nairobi, so the city is full of tourists, thats why Kenyans automatically became friendly,polite and welcoming and English became priority, Unlike Dar tourism is not Major business, the City have more of local vibes with very minimal numbers of tourists, Tanzanian Goverment is now trying to invest more in modenizing the city to keep tourists longer, for a long time touriss visit Tanzania to go to National Parks and visit Zanzibar and leave immediately , very few hanging around , Nairobi discovered that is more profitable to invest in infrastructure and in businesses that will keep visitors longer by making them feels at home, many tourists feels more at home in Nairobi and they stay longer, and some wants to move parmanently.

    Good day sir, I am Kenyan, I have recently been to Dar es salaam. Dar is more like Mombasa, the culture, religion, speed, language, beaches and all. Nairobi life, everything is fast, speed is everything. Life is more affordable in Dar than in Nairobi. Tanzanians don't trust Kenyans at once but once they do, they have proved to be very wonderful people. Kenyans are generally very aggressive just like Nigerians. I like Dar very much.

You need to learn about the ways of a particular people and find out why they do what they do before you comment. Ask questions, don't draw uninformed conclusions. These countries/cities are not trying to be England. So they don't need to meet your standards. They are what/who they are. Up to you to experience them and not to want to experience yourself in them. That's what makes this world diverse and beautiful. For me not a very good video because one moment you completely trash one of them then you come back and say they are slightly different. One of the most confused comparison videos.

    Honestly, this analysis tell more about you as a person than Dar and Nairobi as cities.
    First, you have to understand about the diversity and cultural dyanmics and differences between people of Nairobi and Dar.
    SWAHILI.. if you want to live or work in a country you have to atleast try to accomodate that country culture. You cant complain about people not speaking english as if is some accomplishment, when you come as a tourist you will get some guidance but if you want to work and live in Tanzania as a Brit, learn some Swahili and be respectful.
    MUSIC... Tanzania love more their own music "Bongo Fleva".. again dont expect Tanzanians to love your international music more than their own..
    I know you try to be honest, but you come a bit less considerate, as if the only way to be developed in your lens is for Africans to be more like Westerners..
    Respect African culture and our ways of life.

      Firstly, my analysis was predicated on an empirical examination of the tangible differences between Nairobi and Dar Es Salaam, rather than a mere reflection of personal predilections. The diversity and cultural dynamics of both cities were meticulously considered, and highlighting these differences does not inherently diminish respect for either locale.
      Regarding linguistic integration, while it is undoubtedly crucial to assimilate and respect the local language and culture, it is also a pragmatic observation that English serves as a lingua franca in many global business milieus. This acknowledgment does not seek to undermine the significance of Swahili but rather to elucidate the practical challenges faced by expatriates and tourists.
      On the subject of musical preferences, my observations were not predicated on an expectation that Tanzanians should favor international music over their indigenous genres. Instead, it was a recognition of the distinct cultural predilections that imbue each city with its unique atmosphere.
      The objective was to provide a nuanced and balanced perspective, not to insinuate that development is synonymous with adopting Western paradigms. It is essential to respect and honor African culture and ways of life, and this principle underpins my analytical endeavors. The analysis was intended to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of the rich cultural tapestries inherent in both cities.

    When comes to language you shouldn't complain. You're In a city of Swahili speaker, why should they speak English? why can't you bother to learn proper Swahili. That's like asking native London residents to speak arabic or Swahili when English is their native language. I appreciate Nairobi speaks English but you can't complain about Dar people not speaking English when you're fully aware Swahili is their language. I don't hear this narrative with Chinese, or Japanese but only when comes to African languages it seems no respect. If you want to live in a city of people who speak English then do that but don't go to non-english speaking cities and ask for privilege of them to speak to you in English. You should appreciate the fact that they are even trying too. Cut the entitlement.

    One weekend we went for a nigh out with my hosts, by 5 I was super hungry and thought I'd find something to eat. Niliambiwa ningojee hadi 9 ndio atleast nione kiosk imefunguliwa.
    The customs officers too are super slow when it comes to clearing people unlike in the kenyan side.

    Can't wait to visit Dar Es Salaam. I schooled in Nairobi and I've been working here. If the climate of Dar is similar to Mombasa, I'm sure it's not a city I would love to live in. I prefer visiting than living in Mombasa as the weather isn't as favourable. Use of AC sucks 😞. Houses in Nairobi rarely have ACs. I found Kampala to be more integrated - poor and rich live together freely. There are parts of Nairobi one may never visit in their lifetime. If you're poor, there are the rich parts of Nairobi you may never know exist and the opposite is true. Poor and rich people may not meet at all. 😢😞 I don't know if that's a good or a bad thing, but it explains glaring disparities.

      Imo I think the heat and humidity works against worker's productivity. Every time I go to Kenyan coast (Mombasa, Kilifi, Malindi), I can't imagine living a long time in that heat. Although we can learn a lot from a city like Singapore which also has terrible heat & humidity.
      The advantage of kina Dar es Salaam and other coastal cities is logistics. Btw TZ has bigger untapped potential than Kenya. It has more resources, more land, more arable land and higher population. I think the ONLY advantage that Kenya has right now is human capital.

Still the difference is small enough that Kenya will be ahead maybe until the 2040s. Tz's economy isn't as formalized & their infrastructure spending is lower. But like I said with the right direction, the country has potential to be bigger than Ke. It has way more resources, way more land, way more people. Also it's extremely cheaper to produce anything in Tz than Ke. Cheap agricultural products will price out Kenyan farmers (given EAC is a free market) and cheaper safaris will attract more tourists to Tz. Unfortunately, the current policy makers in Ke aren't acknowledging this so that they can shift the kenyan economy to manufacturing.

      ​@section8ight174 You are a fool , I'm talking about Wild animals , does Dar have a national park ? Should I educate you that the meaning of vibrance in the English dictionary is full of energy and life , The UA-camr has said it himself Dar is a boring city with slow people and basically nothing to do other than going to the beach , that's the exact opposite of the word vibrance. Vibrance is having a city so green that it's nick named the green city in the sun , yet so Morden that it's crowned the most developed city in East Africa. Having a public urban park like Uhuru park in the middle of Nairobi CBD screams vibrance, a city full of life , in both Morden and natural aspects. I saw a Tanzanian UA-camr called Bertin being shocked by Nairobi's malls ( esp Two rivers mall) and the streets of CBD it even got cringe at times lol. I'm not even surprised to see the number of tourists coming to Nairobi is twice that of Dar 2.4 Million and 1.8 Million respectively. shouldn't that independently answer the question of which city is more vibrant
