One thing I love about these large Kenyan towns like Kisii, Meru, Nyeri, Kakamega etc is that the economy is very robust and almost entirely black/local owned. Some fine tuning and planning they could in the near future make great cities.
Tell you what,,,Kisii's growth is attributed to high number of abroad population investment back in home town and farming,,wish all of kenya would do the same
A better 'city' could be built on these hills but Kenyans are not interested in quality stuffs. Someone spending upwards of 50m KShs still will refuse to engage proper professionals hence building very low quality structures. It is the main problem with Kisii town of today. Of course, it is a big problem in most of the rapidly growing Kenyan urban centres.
But Kisii will get better. We will design and build more decent stuff and improve the urban space from the current chaos.
Everywhere Kenya is growing, we're on an upward trajectory. We just need to mop bad governance from our leaders and tone down corruption and we'll definitely be a proper middle income country by 2030.
Devolution works magic of well utilised
True👍🏽👍🏽
Kisii is very hilly, seems to be weather friendly town, cheap farm produce simply a laid back town simple life hussle free
The problem is the streets they should make them more wider.
True 😹 😹 😹 tao n ndogo bana
Stroads are bad for enjoyment of pedestrians who are the majority.
No land for expansion
It's been years since I travelled to Kisii Town. It seems like it has grown a lot. The people do such beautiful stone work.
The Town has really grown.
Waaa...didn't expect this kind of beauty, especiallythat1st drone shot of the stadium and town cascaded by the hills😍
Going to shop for the soapstone art in Kisii.
Hey AT if you noticed, it's very difficult to spot a fat person in kisii! Just the walking in town is a total work out! Beautiful town
My homerootz, I'm enjoying watching from Doha Qatar and it brings my sweet memories of our green land
Traveller, Traveller, Traveller, now I'm seeing everyday upload and I love that.... Inspiration.. Beautiful kisii... Everywhere in Kenya is under construction... That's very good
Good town messed up by poor planning,... Let's be honest, comparing it to Kakamega... Kakamega is well organized but unfortunately not developed or active like Kisii... For boda bodas everyone must be scratching their head how it will be sorted... Including many other kenyan towns.
True. Kakamega veru beautiful but not as vibrant as kisii when it comes to money matters. Kisii beats even kisumu
The drone work is amazing. I love your content man.
Wow kisii is big , good stuff I have now officially been to kisii through the video
This place is madd huge
Josh we need a part 2 with your done shots
@@AfrikanTraveller walai
@@GaksMogaka hopefully bro we'll make it happen
Kisii and Lamu were high on my wishlist, asante for delivering💪👌
One of these days i'll tuma kakitu kwa mpesa as appreciation
Unafanya kazi nzuri sana bro
Wow ! I love the graphics on the beginning Logo very nice.
Thanks bro for covering my city, good job
Afrika has the best weather and the best environmental friendly , very resoursefull. that why Chinese smart
Excellent Job ,well done.I have all your videos in my laptop
Early squad is here and the content is always top notch. I think you need to have your own TV channel pale start times or DSTV
Future plans indeed.
I'm always following you,I love your excellent work,
Beautiful sceneries. Kisii land is rich in agriculture.
Government African Schools were 3: Kisii; Kakamega and Kagumo.
Kisii is predominantly SDA and Catholic; both days are equally lazy.
Nightlife in Kisii is actually far more thorough than in Kisumu; considering the catchment area for night-lifers.
Thank you for a job well done. You make me miss home.
Walk around with a more informed person next time haha (light note..)
Always locked from Thailand.
Kisii indeed is a city just good roads and u are done nice job my grandson.
Devolution is the best thing that happened in Kenya!
Kisii has developed wow
Oh gosh. Kisii town is this big? Crazy
Beautiful land of matoke. Amazing view from above
I wd definitely stay there and cook matoke ugandan style
21:07 these ones in city market you'll find them at higher prices, in kisii the artefacts are pocket friendly
I think they buy them for low and sell them at ridiculous prices at Maasai market.Good business venture if anyone is interested
Our neighborhood county,,,Kisii is wow,,,welcome to migori town through Rongo,awendo,Ranen then migori town which has also witnessed much development
where my roots begin...so happy to see my kisii being represented
And where it ends🤣🤣
Thanks AT and Josh for always giving us superb content. Kisii is a town with so much potential. After Nakuru and Eldoret attain city status, next on the list should be Kisii, Kericho, Thika and perhaps Kakamega and Malindi
Mybe kakamega
The others are just towns
Kakamega is actually better positioned though still has a long way. Nakuru is very much qualified it just need a little bit more infrastructure to accommodate mass transportation like Kisumu, Mombasa & Nairobi
Watu husahau Meru sana.
@@brianokero4991 All of them are towns. Kakamega beats them all but only in planning and organization. Definitely Kisii and Thika should be sixth and seventh after Eldoret.
@@ivanterence698 Okero is Ruo so he feels so jealous about kisii the Truth is kisii is more developed than kakamega Okero acha wivu.
The beautiful matoke land and great place to be.
Awesome😍
Greetings African Traveller, loving the Vlogs, keep them coming young man as you're doing a wonderful job and that drone is a hit. The lyric and beats are "PERFECT". Thanks for sharing Vlog King of Kenya.
Always appreciate you Elder.
AT never disappoints
Thank you
Kisii high is known for exam leakage was banned a while back , the town is generally nice though congested, they should widen the road network
NOT KNOWN, BUT UNFAIRLY TAGGED
2004 is a long time ago. It is one of the best performing schools.
mtu wa wivu ,kafie mbali
@@kevint3322 exam thieves
Nice work
10:30 devolution has played a bigger part in the growth of kisii town
Most towns
Kisii has the most remittance from abroad after nairobi. That has also contributed to kisii development
@@marygekonge5983 true in my village almost everybody has a relative in the US UK Canada or Gulf countries and they are investing so much money building their parents homes etc
@@oirereomanga7936 yes.. They purchase land everywhere too
yeah, consequently the 2007election played a role too. many people who had invested outside kisii like in kericho and kisumu were flown and some of them rersoted to reinvest back home
You are doing great Bro💪💪
Thank you
@@AfrikanTraveller Karibu sana
Blessings there African traveller, Makueni County tunakuombea sana.
Hopefully
Nice video as always. Just work on those lags/freezes.
Exactly. I guess haku review the footage before posting. I even thought it was my internet playing up on me.
Kisii town need good Rd it will be amazing town
We're still in Kisii..ikinya gwa ikinya😀😀enjoying the content AT,Dubai,UAE

Thx
The real highlands ❤️
Yassss! Home town. Go brother 😍
Thank you
Edna kumbe you're a kisii.Nmekuwa nlikuwa have vlogs zako za manyumba...keep it up siz.risase ria gusii❤❤
I love the rain. Maybe I should move to Kisii. Beautiful.
If you love rain Kisii is the place to be.
Welcome. If interested I will welcome you
@@AfrikanTraveller I will do my research on Kisii.
@@mkenyammoja7046 Thanks.. Is Kisii your City?
@@lucygreen8549 yes my rural home and city
2:20 Please give us a better description and details of the hotel and other interesting places you visit such as the soapstone quarry/shop. So that those local tourists who would want to visit Kisii and other towns in Kenya know what to consider in their plans.
Kereri is headed by my Mum. But do I say.
Wow! Do you say 😊
Haha😍
Wooooow my second home!
Wow am in love with kisii i wd love to support that guy with them artwork his prices are👍🏽can someone drop his no cnt clearly understand the accent plz
You are killing it when it comes to Drone shots 🎬🔥
My Top five towns to keep eyes on in a few years :
1.Kisii town
2.Kakamega town
3.Lamu town
4.Kisumu town
5.Kiambu town
You can chain more towns with pontetial down in the reply section section
Maybe Bungoma town too the governor is doing his work
Meru town
Migori Town.
Nakuru and Eldoret just surpassed kisumu in population
@@natureworld295 town ni kugrow si kujazana
You should visit voi bro....what I love about Kenyan towns they're really growing fast with the cash from county govt.
Beautiful place
Kindly consider Kericho and Meru as the next towns to explore.
You didn't do justice to Kericho last time coz it's always raining like kisii..better be the morning hrs
Afrikan Traveller idk why but there was a couple of lags in the video several time like at 14:05
Yeah, just noticed as well. Some issues in the post production
AT kindly direct me to the video you did promoting a certain car hire company. I would like to try out their services while in Nairobi
Oooh my!! African Traveller, Imagine I've seen myself penye unauliza "twende na aje" then ukaambiwa twende straight🤭🤭🥰
Wee ni nani exactly?😀😀😀
@@nyabasamoffat1239 mimi ni shem😅😅
All credit goes to the pioneer of the new constitution Baba Raila odinga atakumbukwa
Good morning - We are planning to visit Kisii Kenya next year....Where did you stay while there? What Hotel's do you recommend? Or do you recommend airbnb?
Ufanisi Hotel and Kamel Park are international standard. AirBnB can be more affordable too, but consider those two hotels. Enjoy your visit. We call it GUSII ENSE Y'OMWANDO - Gusii The Promised Land.
Than you so much - My team and I are planning to go to Kisii in 2025- Also, one more question...do you know any reliable transportation companies (preferably vans) there will be about 8 of us traveling @@felixmakinda7689
Speaking of boda boda riders in Kisii town... you should visit Kiale.
I bought I 89.52 HA land there. I love kisii woman. Very nice and very kind
Hello 👋 please does anybody knows about OMEREMBE COMMUNITY HOSPITAL in kisii Kenya?
When i miss Kisii my home,i just watch videos
AT hapa ndo home😎karibu sana
Asante
Why's the video lagging man
Would you kindly do a Bungoma video when you visit western again. It's very much developed too
Nope wasijaribu
@@lindahn877 vumbi tupu.
@@williamwatitwa3534 bungoma maybe wakuje huko 2030 maybe
😅😅😅😅 Ati 2030? Governor anafanya nini huko?
@@saimzmuiruri pls don't even ask Bungoma is kinda jungle small streets, pikipiki, bycicle and cars.
Nobody is talking about how green Kisii County (including Kisii town) is! I am talking about the juxtaposition of the trees; the forest to be exact with the development of the populated areas. No wonder it always Kisii is blessed with rainfall because of the conservation of trees! The greenery is not just for the beauty of the eye; trees supply us with abundance of fresh water and fresh air to breath. No domestic animals roaming around everywhere eating every vegetation in sight (a.k.a. pastoralism)!
Pastoralism is why the Sahara desert is moving South at an alarming rate creating drought and famine in its path! The sooner Africans should realize and abandon that age old environmental degradation practice, the better. Other counties such as Baringo, Turkana, West Pokot, Laikipia, Marsabit, Tana River, Mandera, Wajir, Garissa, etc. should take note if they really value the welfare of their own people. There is no excuse now; each county government should strive to make their county green for their own sake and those of their future generations. It is the forests that bring rain folks...
We Kenyans seem to have forgotten the crusade spearheaded by Mama Miti, Professor Wangari Muta Maathai. Each county government and leadership should mobilize their own youth ili waweze kufanya kazi kwa moyo wa uzalendo kupitia utamaduni wa *"ujima;"* isiwe tu iwe lazima kutegemea kulipwa mishahara kutoka kwa serikali kuu au mabwenyenye. Moyo wa kizalendo ni lazima uzingatiwe.
What's funny is that when I was little (in the early 80s) I can still remember a lot of open, undeveloped land around "Kisii District". I even used to see wild animals like gazelle(or what looked like it) and even monkeys. Today that same land is parceled up and settled/farmed. There were also a lot less people in Kisii back then too. Kisii is still beautiful, but back in the day....It was magnificent!
Actually in Kisii cutting trees can only be done in dire circumstances,otherwise it's a sin
How are they planning to repair the areas they are taking the stones from protected mining gives the best outcome
So if there is no plan to repair the land please work on a plan
My homeland
Beautiful Place.
Travel to kinagop also
There's multiple times where the footage cuts and gets stuck on one frame. it's disorienting
Kisii school class 2011 ❤️
try going to northern Kenya, it is highly ignored
I will need a better car or a tour Company. My vehicle can't
@@AfrikanTraveller I think its possible with your car, the infrastructure in kenya has improved with this administration
Bro don't forget kisii university
Why do you ignore parts of meru embu chuka and do an aerial footage as well
Tutafika pia
Embu and Chuka nimefika though
Lodwar, Lokichokio, Maralal, Isiolo, Garba Tulla, Laisamis, Marsabit, Moyale, Habaswein, Wajir, Ramu finally Mandera
Yeah at last my homeland
Tumewasili finally
@@AfrikanTraveller i remember i requested this long time ago but finally here we appreciate your work
Hii vita iko hapa kati ya wajaluo na wakisii juu ya maendeleo ya pande hizo mbili,je Raila akiwa prezo i bet it could be even worse.my fellow friends calling kisii town a mere village market is ignorance of the highest order same as trumpeting how migori and kisumu are developed or developing even turkana has a share in our overall GDP let's not diminish while uplifting other regions because of economic activities going on in those places.we are all in one territory called kenya we use the same currency every part of this country is developing albeit in different paces so let's not bring that primitivity of camparing anything and everything in the same umbrella kenya hio ujinga tuliachia watanzania
True kisii is also proposed to the Senate to be given city status I don't see any proplem with. That let's be happy all .
It's a friendly fire no biggie.
Lakini ukweli pia usemwe.
Of course Nyanza is developing very fast and it's the best region if you are considering investments.
With kisumu to the North, Kisii on the South
Migori, Homabay, Bondo, Siaya ,Oyugis, Nyamira, Keroka ,Rongo, Mbita we are on the move
After 2029 census Kisii will obviously hit the 250k population and be declared a city
It will be our happiness.
@@innocentodongo8011 already kisii is above 250k Is only the issue of good roads and planning already it has been proposed on the Senate together with Nakuru I like the way u argue Kenya is one and if kisii becomes a city it is good for people from nyanza and Kenya .
@@innocentodongo8011 i like this kind of reasoning. not just chest thumbing baseless arguments that mean no good at all
How do you like kisii?
I don't like it, I love the town. It's a bustling town.
Niko mtaa 🙂😎
Yooo
Hey
Kenyan Towns look cleaner than South African towns..i would be embarrassed to drive around my town and take videos because of all this rubbish piling up everywhere.
Really? I have always thought SA to be the most developed and organized in this part of the world
@@ivanterence698 come to my town bro..you'll be surprised
SA is another level
@@brianokero4991 some parts of SA not the whole country...majority of South Africa is still like any other african country.
@@afrikanwalker7943 lol, which is your town?
the one editing this video atolewe kakitu kwa Salo ju the audio is bad and ni kama some video frames are mising.
Kisii came from the Nkisi river in the Kongo
Interesting fact
Our roots trade back from Congo...that is true...watching this from New Jersey...real humbled to be home through your lens.
@@kajeffa Kongo is home, I am glad you understood
Lies we originated from Mt. Elgon. Kisiis are among the first settlers of Kenya. Today Luo nyanza to kabianga was settled by kisii before we were displaced by the luos and kipsigis
@@marygekonge5983 their is a dispute on that but their is little evidence pointing to Kongo as our original homeland.

Thank you
Doesn't seem like it rains in the stadium though😂😂
It is under construction though it is taking forever.
@@alexchui3511 oooh, that explains why. Thanks.
It's like there's no local govt in this town,dirty and an unorganized,shame on them.
Try and improve on your video coverage and production.... this particular video is really wanting
In terms of infrastructure, and more so roads kisii is lagging behind compared to other towns in nyanza region.I don't know what governor ongwae is doing to upgrade the town to the required standards
Kabisa, kwanza i am pretty sure Kisii has a better cash flow than Kisumu.
Roads, parking space etc highly needed
@@assadalawite9527 Hapo Sasa umejidanganya. Kisumu is a City. It has more industries, More startups, More retail shops/malls, More Banks, More hotels, a very busy airport, a port, Large scale sugar /rise, Fishing industries, and More people than Kisii. Kisumu has a better cash flow than Kisii, Kericho & Eldoret combined according to it's GDP size & HDI. Only Nakuru, Mombasa & Nairobi beat Kisumu due to their robust tourism industry of which Kisumu is working on.
@@nairobinyeusi5811 I am saying this based off research man...Kisumu is supported by HIV NGOs, civil servants and diaspora remittances plus the indians own almost all the CBD buildings
The normal Kisii man/ woman has more spending power than Kisumu,tembea Kisii on a normal day ujione biashara. Even the nightlife is better, Kisumu just has the better infrastructure but no cashflow amongst the majority
@@nairobinyeusi5811 Even the number of saccos and their portfolios is higher than Kisumu
@@assadalawite9527 😂😂😂Your argument more tribal & emotional that factual. Kisumu has no NGO programs, it's food secure, has no Landless people & has a very high literacy level. Kisumu accounts to 70% of Nyanza's GDP. It's not some Village town with pathway unpaved roads with a mad house kiosks town with no estate. Kisumu has the biggest middle class population in Nyanza & Western.
It's called the "bathroom of God"
Tabaka,shop number or owner contacts pls.
Focus on the content not the passengers please, we come to see the town & roads
I think we have less than 5% of the passengers face on the entire clip.
Kisii rivals Kisumu, just a little fine tuning and this town will be the commercial hub of western Kenya
Is this a Joke. 😂. Kisumu is Miles ahead. I watched the Kisumu video on this channel. Kisumu is just on another league literally. Wide Roads, Tall buildings, very clean grid lock streets, Massive estates, industries, airport & port . I bet some estates like Kondele in Kisumu beat Kisii.
@@nairobinyeusi5811 Well, that's debatable. Kisumu just has three of four tall buildings, the rest are old two or three floors. But Kisii has more cash flow than Kisumu, CBK acknowledged this and gave them their own cash collection center so they no longer depend on the branch in Kisumu. And again Kisii is growing faster than Kisumu.
@@ivanterence698 According to Official financial report Kisumu is way ahead of Kisii in Revenue production. Kisumu generates more cash than Kisii & Nyamira combined. It has a GDP of 3.9 Billion currently with a HDI of 0.630 Medium. Here is the link: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_counties_of_Kenya_by_GDP
@@ivanterence698 kisii will have a long way to go to reach the level of kisumu.. bearing in mind that the town does not have much land for expansion like kisumu.. from the video of kisumu that African travellers posted he did not include other areas of the kisumu city and estates like kondele, nyamasaria, lolwe, nyalenda 5 ways. as at now kisumu town is on flight it even contributes much to the GDP of kenya than kisii town.Besides, with the resumption of the railway transport, international flights, and the port, the special economic zone, the expansion of city center up to ojola.. man kisii is growing but it wont match kisumu any time soon.
@@ivanterence698 You are also mistaken about Kisumu's buildings. Kisumu has the most buildings over 10 floors outside Nairobi & Mombasa. Kisumu has a built up urban territory of 297 km² while Kisii has an urban Size of 68 km² meaning Kisii is actually smaller than milimani Estate in Kisumu 😂. Kisii is literally a Center not a town. It's a dwarf compared to Kisumu. Comparing Kisumu with Kisii is mere stupidity to be honest. It doesn't make any sense at all. Kisumu County is 8th on Revenue production in Kenya, Kisii is 14th. In the same list Kisumu County ranked above Nyeri, Kakamega, Bungoma, Narok, Murang'a and even Uasin Gishu of Eldoret. So let's not Fool ourselves. Let's talk facts
What a disservice to Kisii! I’m a Mazungo, having visited Kisii 5 times and I know more than this video. How dare you pretend quarry excavation is a cute touristic experience! Do you know how little money they make for all the hard work?!? Do you know that their roofs leak during the rainy season?!? Yes, it’s a season! Not all the time. Do you know of the women’s annual gathering here?!? Did you speak with the women of the 2 markets?!? Did you explore the effects of illegal coal sales?!? Etc.
Land of witches and wizards
