Kenyans, Can we please agree to the fact that kilimani is a middle class area not a rich area...in rich areas of nairobi , you dont see the houses , you only see perimeter walls , huge gates n security guys...anything less is a middle class
This is an awesome video. We just visited Nairobi for two weeks. We visited most places you showed, and loved it. We did the Nairobi Safari, Nairobi Museum, Bomas of Kenya, Village Market and much more. I wish I had seen this video before, we visited. What an awesome place to be. The people are so friendly and we love them!! Thank you Gabi, and thank you, Nairobi, Kenya for being a wonderful country❤🇰🇪
Indeed! That was the highlight for me. Beautiful and articulate little girl. I am sure her parents are proud of her. I wish he had shown us more of the less rich side too!
Not to take away from the little girl, she is adorable. She speaks very good English because Kenya used to be a British colony. We learn m Swahili and English alongside it in school and both are spoken every day by most city people. Great video. Next time add "sukumawiki" with the ugali and meat.
Heyy am Kenyan and I'd say showing both sides of Kenya is the real meaning of travelling and also showing how people are friendly even in the poor side speaks alot. You do your thing 👍
Ok. So you can show us small poor children in a dirty environment? If someone challenges you to show or produce footage of small rich kids dancing and looking happy CAN YOU SHOW THAT?
I have been to Kenya some 45 times, and own property there. I had an absence of 10 years when I returned, I hardly recognized Nairobi, so much had changed. Many places I knew had closed, with many new ones. The city is looking great, but the Nairobi Expressway blights the city, a big white elephant with very little traffic on it. Driving from the airport, it just cuts off your whole view, The JKIA once dominated the city skyline is barely visible now. Lots of nice tall buildings have been erected.
The expressway has toll stations, meaning that it has a fee, so people tend to avoid it during off-peak hours. It's usually busy though, during peak hours
Change is especially hard when you dislike the result. Sorry you're disappointed; I know how it is. I have been to Kenya five times. It changes every time. Some of the changes are wonderful whereas some things I would like to change are still there. I wish there were not speed bumps on Thika highway.
I was born in Kenya, a long time ago. Since then I moved to the US, but miss home still. It is amazing how much has changed and yet how much is still the same.
I visited Kenya about 30 years ago, stayed in Nairobi some of the time and even then, compared to Boston where I lived Nairobi was at least as modern and certainly bigger. But most interesting for me was the huge variety of animals seen. On my first full day , mostly Maasai Mara I saw 28 distinct species of animals, we drove within feet of lions. It was phenomenal. The people were also great in that they were all trained for whatever jobs they had. Our tour driver had 3 years formal schooling to drive safely, know the roads and sights and teach tourists about the animals etc. I see all of the attention to detail is paying off. Love it.
Sometimes kindnesses is the only thing you can do in this world....I love that black man he has a good heart like you you can be human to see how they live with nothing but still can smile....

Great video as always! The most wonderful and rewarding thing about travel is connecting with the people! You do it so well! Thanks for taking us along!
Your channel is so amazing. In a short while, you managed to go from unknown to me to one of my top 5 (if not higher) travel vloggers. Thanks for showing us so many amazing spots, helping me to curate my own travel plans etc. Good job.
I simply love kenya. What a lovely pair of guys. Love you both . Nairobi is great place . I love the malls and the markets. Kenya has too much to offer though kenya does not know how to show her beauty off. Thanks for people like you showing the world what kenya is made of. Please explore everywhere including the beautiful islands on lake victoria especially mfangano. The water is tranquil and stunning and there is a mountain road round the island. Let me stop there so that one day you will tell us what it is . Welcome and all the best
Hi Gabi. It’s Paul + Yen from Singapore (we met you and Ploy) at the Jewel Changi Airport. By coincidence my son lives in Nairobi so we have really enjoyed your series on Kenya! Hope you are ok as we haven’t heard from you for a while.
Gabi, the guide knows nothing. Kilimani is not a rich area. It's upper middle class. Karen is rich. Muthaiga is rich. Kitusuru is rich. Kilmani and Westlands are middle class.
@@MainneliThere are so many people earning above 100k in Kenya. The statistics wanatumia ni za watu wako kwa formal employment. Sahi kuna very many young people doing their own businesses na wengine wako kwa industries kama online businesses, including writing. Just because watu wa Kilimani wanalipa 100k rent does not mean they're rich. Na si kila mtu huko analipa 100k, kuna cheaper houses huko. Rich people wanakaa places kama Muthaiga, Runda, Kitusuru, Karen, etc. If unadhani watu wanaishi Kilimani ni rich ask them wahamie hizi places nmekutajia uone kama wanaeza manage.
@@Mainneli It's not rich. A person on a salary can afford to live there. There's no employed position in Nairobi that can make a single individual afford to buy in Karen based on salary alone. You need legacy money for Muthaiga, Kitisuru, Sprng Valley, areas like that. That's how you tell rich and middle class apart. So even parts of Lavington are attainable but real Lavington proper where there are no apartment blocks is rich because houses go for 1-2 million dollars.
@@swts4k It's not my passion to guide people around neighbourhoods. But I have all the time in the world to call out misleading information on UA-cam when I see it. Kilimani is not "rich".
thankyou for you are the first to go through the two sides of kenya, even though there is the small sector of the poor side, u also looked on the rich side of kenya
Gabi, I loved your video. I also appreciate tour other videos -especially the 7 things.... I totally agree eith you on everything ans dound your video to display teie Naorobi. I would love for you to return to Kenya multiple times. I ha e been there five times. I always learn something new each time I travel there. The people of Kenya are the best. They are resilient, smart, kind, loving, hospitable. Kenya boasts heavenly topography from white sandy beaches to snow capped mountains. The animal preserves host the best safari tours, the tea plantations and the flora make it look like Garden of Eden. Your video was honest and reliable. Thank you.
Perhaps they live in Kibera but she is schooled in the rich schools. Also some Kenyans choose to live humble lives but own immense land and are comfortable. I get the vibe that the tour guide didn't show his property land or businesses in the country side, he just showed one of his residences while in Nairobi.
The problem is , when he’s in Europe or the USA he doesn’t go to the slums, he stays in the nice areas, he doesn’t show homeless people covering the sidewalks or drug attics talking to themselves, so if you don’t do it in Europe then don’t do it in Africa
@@jarodwilson4946 omg please. this is so insufferable. He's not doing anything with malice intent. He's literally shaking hands and treating everyone as an equal and going to their homes. He's not saying look at all the poors. This woke shit really is ruining society. Because y'all are attacking the wrong people.
Good job man Love what u do 💪🏼🙏🏼 be blessed Kenya is one of my favorite country am from Rwanda & I love Kenya I like that man who was kind enough to show u around he's country I love he's baby girl she. Speak very nice English keep it up 💪🏼
OMG...I was there 45 years ago! Of course, it was going to develop but it's crazy I don't recognize anything except for the Kenyatta Center high rise which I believe was the only one in 1979. Thank you so much for the very interesting update tour.
Sir thank you for showing some of the things to be admired in our beautiful motherland. Most western media only show the negative side of Kenya @nd Africa but you've done us some justice. I hope next you visit other parts of Kenya and you'll love it.
people praising Kilimani.. was it not on the news just the other day for it's vertical and concrete slums??!!! with flats similar to those in Pipeline and Githurai areas..!! I think the only area in Kilimani that can be considered rich is along Dennis Pritt road. The rest ziiii❤
Gabi - Wow, what a wonderful video! I loved seeing everything… rich to poor…. to the modern malls and the wild animals. So exciting for me! I have chills just seeing those big giraffes so close!
I was born in Nairobi. As you know, you've been mistaken for an Indian many times. There's a rich history of Indians in East Africa. Please make a video about their connection and also take the train to Mombasa.
But you’re still Indian. You’re not originally Kenyan. There is no area in kenya in which you come from unless you refer to parklands as your ‘ushago’. Majority of you can’t speak Swahili and you don’t have Kenyan culture, you only practice your Indian culture which is fine. When Kenyans go to their rural homes in December, you’re on your way to India. So yes, you’ll always be Indian unless you marry a Kenyan and give birth.
Hi Gabi. Hello from Maputo the capital city of Mozambique. That is good, showing the both sides. Congratulations for your wonderful vídeos. Keep going. Stay safe and healthy.
Love this video so much! This is where we spend time when in Nairobi! Thanks so much for showing this in a respectful way with curiosity and without disbelief.
Check out my other 2 videos in Nairobi: ➡ AFRICAN MAN INVITES ME HOME 🇰🇪 ua-cam.com/video/DdLZdY82nZg/v-deo.html ➡ SAFARI IN NAIROBI: ua-cam.com/video/n3MDhUzYZco/v-deo.html
Thank you for a well balanced presentation of both extremes. Unlike many visiting tourists, they always present the poor side only. I am from Malawi, one day come visit Malawi......Enjoy your travels...Sawa
Hi Gabi have been watching your UA-cam videos I am from Kenya as well but live in UK now and like the way you showcased Kenya in both aspects of life poor and rich life ...Ur videos are very informative and entertaining and like the way you engage with the local people..once again ..Karibu saana to Kenya which means welcome to Kenya and asante Sana means Thank you for showing us the new Kenya look forward to more videos 🙂
Great ❤ video with lots of humanity touch... the smiling happy kids in the poor neighbourhoods.. every society has all the sides from poor to rich.. other malls you missed are Sarit center ..a walk from Westgate ..The Hub Karen.. nice video.. ❤
Gabi, you are one of a kind. I love traveling through your eyes and your heart. Your images and comments make me think about what it really means to be rich. Hug from Canada
@@aidaofearth😂😂 wdym majority to survive here like in many cities you must have employment if not people leave in villages if can't afford the city so don't be making assumptions go to LAS VEGAS people are homeless there too new York the same there's no perfect City so just shut up
@@aidaofearth Capitalism and communism are two distinct economic and political systems that offer contrasting approaches to managing economies and societies. Here are the key differences between them: ### Ownership and Control - **Capitalism:** - **Private Ownership:** In a capitalist system, individuals and businesses own property and the means of production (e.g., factories, machinery, and land). - **Market Economy:** Decisions about production, investment, and distribution are driven by market forces such as supply and demand. - **Communism:** - **Public Ownership:** In a communist system, the state or the community collectively owns the means of production. Private property is typically limited or nonexistent. - **Planned Economy:** Economic decisions are made by central planning authorities, aiming to allocate resources equitably across society. ### Economic Goals - **Capitalism:** - **Profit Motive:** The primary goal is to generate profit, which incentivizes innovation and efficiency. - **Competition:** Market competition drives economic activity, often leading to better products and services. - **Communism:** - **Equity and Fairness:** The primary goal is to achieve a classless society where wealth and resources are distributed according to needs. - **Cooperation:** Emphasis is on collective effort and cooperation rather than competition. ### Social Structure - **Capitalism:** - **Class Distinctions:** Capitalism often leads to significant class distinctions based on wealth and income, with clear divisions between capitalists (owners) and workers. - **Individualism:** Emphasizes individual rights, freedoms, and responsibilities. - **Communism:** - **Classless Society:** Seeks to eliminate class distinctions, aiming for an equal society where everyone has similar social and economic status. - **Collectivism:** Focuses on collective welfare and the well-being of the community over individual interests. ### Government Role - **Capitalism:** - **Limited Government:** Generally advocates for minimal government intervention in the economy, supporting free markets and individual entrepreneurship. - **Regulation:** The government may regulate to prevent monopolies, protect consumers, and ensure fair practices, but its role is limited compared to communism. - **Communism:** - **Extensive Government Control:** The government has significant control over economic activities, including production, pricing, and distribution. - **Central Planning:** The government plans and directs economic activities to ensure that resources are distributed equitably and according to the collective needs. ### Examples and Outcomes - **Capitalism:** - **Examples:** The United States, United Kingdom, and other Western democracies are often cited as examples of capitalist economies. - **Outcomes:** Capitalism has led to significant economic growth and innovation but has also been criticized for creating income inequality and social disparity. - **Communism:** - **Examples:** The Soviet Union, China (historically), and Cuba are examples of countries that have implemented communist principles. - **Outcomes:** Communism has aimed for equitable distribution of wealth but has often struggled with inefficiency, lack of innovation, and authoritarian governance. These differences outline the fundamental ideologies and operational mechanisms that distinguish capitalism from communism.
@@aidaofearth The approaches of capitalism and communism to housing and homelessness reflect their broader economic and social philosophies. ### Housing in Capitalism - **Private Ownership:** Housing is largely a private good. Individuals and businesses own and develop real estate. People buy or rent homes from private owners. - **Market-Driven:** Housing availability and pricing are driven by market forces like supply and demand. Developers build where there's potential for profit. - **Variety and Quality:** There's a wide variety of housing options, from luxury apartments to affordable housing. However, quality and accessibility often depend on income levels. - **Government Role:** Governments may intervene to varying degrees, providing subsidies, tax incentives for developers, or public housing projects. Zoning laws and regulations shape development. - **Homelessness:** In capitalist societies, homelessness can be a significant issue, often tied to economic disparities. Efforts to address it include shelters, non-profit organizations, and government programs, but funding and effectiveness can vary. ### Housing in Communism - **Public Ownership:** Housing is typically owned and managed by the state or community. Private real estate markets are limited or non-existent. - **Planned Distribution:** The government plans and allocates housing based on need rather than market forces. Housing is often provided at low or no cost. - **Uniformity and Quality:** Housing quality may be more uniform, with efforts to ensure everyone has access to basic accommodation. However, this can sometimes lead to lower quality or less variety due to limited resources and centralized control. - **Government Role:** The government plays a central role in all aspects of housing, from construction to allocation and maintenance. - **Homelessness:** Homelessness is less visible or officially acknowledged, as the state aims to ensure everyone has housing. However, shortages and inefficiencies in allocation can still lead to inadequate living conditions or unofficial homelessness. ### Comparative Outcomes - **Capitalist Systems:** - **Pros:** Greater innovation and variety in housing options; potential for high-quality living environments; dynamic response to demand. - **Cons:** Significant disparities in housing quality and accessibility; higher risk of homelessness due to economic inequalities and market fluctuations. - **Communist Systems:** - **Pros:** Aim for universal housing access; reduced disparities in housing quality; housing not typically tied to individual wealth. - **Cons:** Potential for inefficiency and bureaucratic delays; quality may suffer due to limited resources and lack of competition; shortages and over-centralization can lead to suboptimal living conditions. In summary, capitalist and communist systems offer contrasting approaches to housing and homelessness, each with distinct advantages and challenges influenced by their underlying economic and social principles.
But you didn't visit Two Rivers mall, Sarita Center mall, Lovington mall, Karen mall, Junction mall etc u need a good tour guide to explore really rich side.
I think it is very important for myself and the world, to see the slum areas of Africa and all the children; these children, are the world’s future and they must have computers in their schools and the best healthcare, nutrition and education that the world can possibly give them.
If Africa is at all like SE Asia, just show up. Use discretion of course, but many people will be happy to show you around, often just for paying for their lunch.
why don't we hear the same sentiments when it comes to western world? For example in america and canada there is Too much homelessness. What if the world only decided to forcus on that like they do when it comes to Africa? This is 2023 Africa moved on in a Major way
You're very honest person with impartial good concepts .. others come here in Kenya to see and report negativity about us. Thank you for loving Kenya 🇰🇪 We Love you and visit more cities country wide.❤❤
I visited Nairobi in 2023. First I spent several weeks in a poor part of the city. Of course not in the slums but in Roysambu, Kasarani and Kahawa West. Only after that I got to a rich part of Nairobi. It looked, smelled and felt like another country! I never expected such a big difference. People are very friendly but a foreigner should not walk alone. And in some districts of the city only the district residents should walk. I feel you made a good video. And my favorite mall is Sarit.😊
Gabi, is there any chance you could connect us with your guide Richard? How would we find him? Heading to Nairobi in 2 months and he seems like a nice guide. Thanks
Kenyans, Can we please agree to the fact that kilimani is a middle class area not a rich area...in rich areas of nairobi , you dont see the houses , you only see perimeter walls , huge gates n security guys...anything less is a middle class
Kilimani is middle class
I agree
This is exactly what I have been saying!
Muthaiga is the richest
What about Karen and runda?
This is an awesome video. We just visited Nairobi for two weeks. We visited most places you showed, and loved it. We did the Nairobi Safari, Nairobi Museum, Bomas of Kenya, Village Market and much more. I wish I had seen this video before, we visited. What an awesome place to be. The people are so friendly and we love them!! Thank you Gabi, and thank you, Nairobi, Kenya for being a wonderful country❤🇰🇪
I hope to visit kenya too love from Philippines 🇵🇭

Welcome 🤗
Welcome and free accommodation will be provided for you
I love you too baby. Welcome to Kenya ❤.

Indeed! That was the highlight for me. Beautiful and articulate little girl. I am sure her parents are proud of her. I wish he had shown us more of the less rich side too!
Not to take away from the little girl, she is adorable.
She speaks very good English because Kenya used to be a British colony. We learn m Swahili and English alongside it in school and both are spoken every day by most city people.
Great video. Next time add "sukumawiki" with the ugali and meat.
Hi Gabi,I'm from South Africa,and I really appreciate you showing the different lifestyles in Africa 🌍 .Stay humble and caring ❤.
Thank you 🙏🏻
Hi gabi is south africa safe I wanna visit soon
Heyy am Kenyan and I'd say showing both sides of Kenya is the real meaning of travelling and also showing how people are friendly even in the poor side speaks alot. You do your thing 👍

I have been to Kenya some 45 times, and own property there. I had an absence of 10 years when I returned, I hardly recognized Nairobi, so much had changed. Many places I knew had closed, with many new ones. The city is looking great, but the Nairobi Expressway blights the city, a big white elephant with very little traffic on it. Driving from the airport, it just cuts off your whole view, The JKIA once dominated the city skyline is barely visible now. Lots of nice tall buildings have been erected.
Good
The expressway has toll stations, meaning that it has a fee, so people tend to avoid it during off-peak hours. It's usually busy though, during peak hours
Change is especially hard when you dislike the result. Sorry you're disappointed; I know how it is. I have been to Kenya five times. It changes every time. Some of the changes are wonderful whereas some things I would like to change are still there. I wish there were not speed bumps on Thika highway.
It really messed up the Westlands area. I hope they do finishing touches.

I visited Kenya about 30 years ago, stayed in Nairobi some of the time and even then, compared to Boston where I lived Nairobi was at least as modern and certainly bigger.

Yes last time I saw Nairobi what's 1995 even then it was beautiful absolutely beautiful

Hi Gabi. Hello from Maputo the capital city of Mozambique. That is good, showing the both sides. Congratulations for your wonderful vídeos. Keep going. Stay safe and healthy.
Love this video so much! This is where we spend time when in Nairobi! Thanks so much for showing this in a respectful way with curiosity and without disbelief.
You did not visit Kitisuru. It is the best and richest of those places
Check out my other 2 videos in Nairobi:

Thank you for a well balanced presentation of both extremes. Unlike many visiting tourists, they always present the poor side only. I am from Malawi, one day come visit Malawi......Enjoy your travels...Sawa

Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Kenya is the pride of africa ❤ so we must be the frontliners we can't brag about that
Kenya is not Poor!!! its a really fun because i Live there
majority of kenyans live in very poor circumstances and areas.make no mistake. and it's purposefully designed that way
@@aidaofearth😂😂 wdym majority to survive here like in many cities you must have employment if not people leave in villages if can't afford the city so don't be making assumptions go to LAS VEGAS people are homeless there too new York the same there's no perfect City so just shut up
@@Westoner_keeveryone has a right to a dignified life regardless of their working status. Deprogram yourself from capitalist mindset
@@aidaofearth Capitalism and communism are two distinct economic and political systems that offer contrasting approaches to managing economies and societies. Here are the key differences between them:
### Ownership and Control
- **Capitalism:**
- **Private Ownership:** In a capitalist system, individuals and businesses own property and the means of production (e.g., factories, machinery, and land).
- **Market Economy:** Decisions about production, investment, and distribution are driven by market forces such as supply and demand.
- **Communism:**
- **Public Ownership:** In a communist system, the state or the community collectively owns the means of production. Private property is typically limited or nonexistent.
- **Planned Economy:** Economic decisions are made by central planning authorities, aiming to allocate resources equitably across society.
### Economic Goals
- **Capitalism:**
- **Profit Motive:** The primary goal is to generate profit, which incentivizes innovation and efficiency.
- **Competition:** Market competition drives economic activity, often leading to better products and services.
- **Communism:**
- **Equity and Fairness:** The primary goal is to achieve a classless society where wealth and resources are distributed according to needs.
- **Cooperation:** Emphasis is on collective effort and cooperation rather than competition.
### Social Structure
- **Capitalism:**
- **Class Distinctions:** Capitalism often leads to significant class distinctions based on wealth and income, with clear divisions between capitalists (owners) and workers.
- **Individualism:** Emphasizes individual rights, freedoms, and responsibilities.
- **Communism:**
- **Classless Society:** Seeks to eliminate class distinctions, aiming for an equal society where everyone has similar social and economic status.
- **Collectivism:** Focuses on collective welfare and the well-being of the community over individual interests.
### Government Role
- **Capitalism:**
- **Limited Government:** Generally advocates for minimal government intervention in the economy, supporting free markets and individual entrepreneurship.
- **Regulation:** The government may regulate to prevent monopolies, protect consumers, and ensure fair practices, but its role is limited compared to communism.
- **Communism:**
- **Extensive Government Control:** The government has significant control over economic activities, including production, pricing, and distribution.
- **Central Planning:** The government plans and directs economic activities to ensure that resources are distributed equitably and according to the collective needs.
### Examples and Outcomes
- **Capitalism:**
- **Examples:** The United States, United Kingdom, and other Western democracies are often cited as examples of capitalist economies.
- **Outcomes:** Capitalism has led to significant economic growth and innovation but has also been criticized for creating income inequality and social disparity.
- **Communism:**
- **Examples:** The Soviet Union, China (historically), and Cuba are examples of countries that have implemented communist principles.
- **Outcomes:** Communism has aimed for equitable distribution of wealth but has often struggled with inefficiency, lack of innovation, and authoritarian governance.
These differences outline the fundamental ideologies and operational mechanisms that distinguish capitalism from communism.
@@aidaofearth The approaches of capitalism and communism to housing and homelessness reflect their broader economic and social philosophies.
### Housing in Capitalism
- **Private Ownership:** Housing is largely a private good. Individuals and businesses own and develop real estate. People buy or rent homes from private owners.
- **Market-Driven:** Housing availability and pricing are driven by market forces like supply and demand. Developers build where there's potential for profit.
- **Variety and Quality:** There's a wide variety of housing options, from luxury apartments to affordable housing. However, quality and accessibility often depend on income levels.
- **Government Role:** Governments may intervene to varying degrees, providing subsidies, tax incentives for developers, or public housing projects. Zoning laws and regulations shape development.
- **Homelessness:** In capitalist societies, homelessness can be a significant issue, often tied to economic disparities. Efforts to address it include shelters, non-profit organizations, and government programs, but funding and effectiveness can vary.
### Housing in Communism
- **Public Ownership:** Housing is typically owned and managed by the state or community. Private real estate markets are limited or non-existent.
- **Planned Distribution:** The government plans and allocates housing based on need rather than market forces. Housing is often provided at low or no cost.
- **Uniformity and Quality:** Housing quality may be more uniform, with efforts to ensure everyone has access to basic accommodation. However, this can sometimes lead to lower quality or less variety due to limited resources and centralized control.
- **Government Role:** The government plays a central role in all aspects of housing, from construction to allocation and maintenance.
- **Homelessness:** Homelessness is less visible or officially acknowledged, as the state aims to ensure everyone has housing. However, shortages and inefficiencies in allocation can still lead to inadequate living conditions or unofficial homelessness.
### Comparative Outcomes
- **Capitalist Systems:**
- **Pros:** Greater innovation and variety in housing options; potential for high-quality living environments; dynamic response to demand.
- **Cons:** Significant disparities in housing quality and accessibility; higher risk of homelessness due to economic inequalities and market fluctuations.
- **Communist Systems:**
- **Pros:** Aim for universal housing access; reduced disparities in housing quality; housing not typically tied to individual wealth.
- **Cons:** Potential for inefficiency and bureaucratic delays; quality may suffer due to limited resources and lack of competition; shortages and over-centralization can lead to suboptimal living conditions.
In summary, capitalist and communist systems offer contrasting approaches to housing and homelessness, each with distinct advantages and challenges influenced by their underlying economic and social principles.
Kenya is beautiful.
Really enjoyed this video!!!!. Watching you from the Southeast of Haiti.
You kept it authentic 💯 👌
Someone asked about historical sites.. I'd love to say we have Vasco da gama area in Mombasa.. And Malindi also has some nice places 😉😉

Thanks for promoting tourism in kenya ,kenya its beautiful !
Am from Nairobi. Welcome to Mathare, I'll give you a de'tour for nother form of diversity.
Thank you for doing this video
I think it is very important for myself and the world, to see the slum areas of Africa and all the children; these children, are the world’s future and they must have computers in their schools and the best healthcare, nutrition and education that the world can possibly give them.
🎉🎉🎉🎉this was a great 👍 video and very informative
Ur videos always get real. Love it❤
God bless you Gabi❤I was triggered by your first video but am grateful now you showed both sides of the coin, good work keep up👏👏
I understand that :)
Really enjoying your videos, makes me want to "jump" for a week in Nairobi. Where do you find the nice people who guide you?
If Africa is at all like SE Asia, just show up. Use discretion of course, but many people will be happy to show you around, often just for paying for their lunch.
I can guide you when you come 😊 MD student here
Friends of friends.. or sometimes I just meet them randomly 😉
Kenyans are very nice to visitors/foreigner s.
Thnk u for showing the Nice parts of Kenya❤️❤️🇰🇪🇰🇪🇩🇰🇩🇰
Cool video buddy. I was hoping to film for my vlog there this year but I heard filming on the streets is illegal, it's that true? Thanks
The kid's English is out of this world.
Don't take it the wrong way...but we have a really good education system and English is native here. But thank you
Just asking, where does that little girl school?? That’s a gem that needs to be treasured and mentored
The maasai canvas shirt looked nice on you
Wonderful thank you Gabi
You should have taken a tour to Eastleigh, the shopping capital of Kenya, and probably also the most culturally diverse place in Nairobi.
Show life as it is. Follow your own thematic style. Thanks Gabi.
why don't we hear the same sentiments when it comes to western world? For example in america and canada there is Too much homelessness. What if the world only decided to forcus on that like they do when it comes to Africa? This is 2023 Africa moved on in a Major way
Peter Santenello covers poor Ameeica. Very interesting vlogs.
You're very honest person with impartial good concepts .. others come here in Kenya to see and report negativity about us. Thank you for loving Kenya 🇰🇪
We Love you and visit more cities country wide.❤❤
Village Market is more sophisticated than Two Rivers.
Keep going Gabi!🤜🏽⚡️🤛🏽
Sarit is also a nice mall.
Last video you chang the boy life.super brother
What a good environment that we have here in kenya
I visited Nairobi in 2023. First I spent several weeks in a poor part of the city. Of course not in the slums but in Roysambu, Kasarani and Kahawa West. Only after that I got to a rich part of Nairobi. It looked, smelled and felt like another country! I never expected such a big difference. People are very friendly but a foreigner should not walk alone. And in some districts of the city only the district residents should walk. I feel you made a good video. And my favorite mall is Sarit.😊
Gabi, is there any chance you could connect us with your guide Richard? How would we find him? Heading to Nairobi in 2 months and he seems like a nice guide. Thanks
❤❤❤❤brings many friends to Kenya I love your show
Hello Gabi also you want to look into Parklands in Nairobi.
