I've been to Watamu thrice, it's a paradise as the locals said , white sandy beaches, snake parks , dolphin watching etcétera. I really miss this place
Personally as a person from south coast Im in awe of watamu and the north beaches but trust me come down south and im not speaking of diani and co but in prestine places not accessible to most tourist but to us the locals Digo pple and everyone is welcomed one such place is kiteje and tiwi where the river congo meets the mighty Indian ocean
In 2004 I stayed at the beach front Villas, which was then a resort owned by The African Safari Club, German & Swiss owners I was told. Amazing place, though unfortunately didn't treat their (local) staff with respect. Eg. The huge restaurant which was simply out of this world in catering for the tourists & all buffet style, all leftovers had to be disposed of as trash, yet the local chefs & waiters would have loved them to take home. It simply wasn't allowed & their bags were checked by guards on leaving the resort each day. It was sole destroying to hear. They earned the equivalent of $20 per month working 6 days per week. African Safari Club went out of business some years later, I don't know the reason why. Thanks for sharing this video Gabi, it brought back some great memories. There's a great animal sanctuary with the deadliest killer Aligators in Bamburi to visit, plus an amazing child orphanage on the Bamburi road towards Mombasa. Oh & the never ending mangroves along the Mida Creek esturie. Enjoy, what a place.
Waw..... what a wonderful beach. I am so happy to see Charles improvements. Thank God send an angle called Gabi to help Charles and his family. Be blessed Gabi.
Watamu was the best place i ever visited. I was staying at the next resort called turtle bay resort. That place i can agree to say its very beautiful place. Thank you very much for showing me and remembering how it was. ❤️
Such a wonderful video, full of beauty and love. This beach is amazing! And so happy Charles got mattress and chairs! Gabi, your videos are such a gem. Thank you!
So much love for you guys!! Algorithm still being unfair, same as the state of the wider world.. Please don't loose hope or your JOY!! You are so important! Beautiful video friend 🧡
Nice beach.. Good that you helping the needy.. But suggest to keep you vlogs as travel only and not for donations.. Sometimes you might end up in wrong place.
It’s crazy as Albanian I’m very amazed with those white beaches they’re big opportunity to invest big resorts or villa resorts on water like Bora Bora, you know and build like a town for 20 to 30,000 people all tourist town make a good airport good stores for food, restaurants, and make direct flights from Europe from me to least to this areas very interesting It’s very sad whole couple people from Europe purchased the whole beach, which is too much and not fair
every place in the world where european tourists go, the locals pick up the language for trade, be it german, italian, russian, french, portuguese, spanish etc. This is a world wide phenomena especially in africa where languages are a breeze for locals. Russians are new arrivals in Tanzania due to covid and now you find locals speaking Russian in Zanzibar.
I love your Diani video. I went to Diani a year ago and loved it so much that I returned two more times and ended up investing on a plot to build a house in the future. Can I point out though that the beach boys are letting this amazing beach down, not all of them are conmen but I paid someone to reserve a boat and they never showed up. We need authorities to crack down on the crooks and licence the good ones. On the other hand, I feel the good beach boys/men should organise themselves and create a clean business environment eradicating the crooks. Otherwise best beach in Africa.
@@ridewithgabi Wow-reasonable indeed, that place in a resort next door in Ethiopia would easily cost USD $200+ per night. BTW is that price per person or per flat ? Cheers
Mille Grazie Gabi for your amazing videos and generous helping, Please have you got contact with Salim-I text ,email.but no answer- ? ( I am visiting Nairobi in 3 month and need him as a guide) .Multo Grazie
illegal rock harvesters have invaded watamu especially Jacaranda beach. They are quarrying even under the new Watamu-Malindi tarmac road and behind Jacaranda Beach Hotel under the safaricom masts. They leave big gaping quarries in unsuspecting people's plots and are quickly spoiling the beauty of the place.
Paypal banned Kenya back in 2015. It is now more strict to open and maintain a Kenyan paypal unless you're a business. Thank goodness for alternatives like wise,r remitly and payoneer
@@japhethnamayi8582 you are Kenyan or African I guess... Trying to lie about the reality. Well you can lie to yourself, and i warn people I care about. Kenya is not safe it's a fact.

it's pretty impressive how the locals speak what seems like fluent Italian. And the water...bliss!
The beaches are so beautiful in Watamu! It was interesting to hear them speaking to you in Italian! Such wonderful and friendly people! ❤
Yes very nice people… and Watamu is beautiful! 😍
I've been to Watamu thrice, it's a paradise as the locals said , white sandy beaches, snake parks , dolphin watching etcétera. I really miss this place
Gabi you are such a kind person,please take care and dont feel obligated,help where you can and want only❤
Sir Gabi I'm watching every travel vlog you have! God bless you for your kindness and sincerity to all people you encounter. Enjoy every journey!
I love how quickly Kenyans learn other languages it’s amazing
The Maasai women in Namanga can speak German. GERMAN! I was shocked. It's a very difficult language 😂
@@freedomm it’s crazy
We're linguistic by nature 😅
Yess
Thank you for the Charles update, I’m so glad they could buy mattresses and some other needed items ❤
Thank you everyone for donation for Charles
Sadly, most Kenyans don't even rate Watamu, preferring Diani and Lamu. Personally, Watamu remains my favourite of Kenyan beaches.

@@radamell3216 sad to hear that you're not welcome in your own home. Congo River is heavenly.
@@felixmakinda7689she says its not accessible to tourists but the locals enjoy it

What the apartments name Gab 😊? Wana come there
It’s called Rischland Villas
I have been there but a lot old people perverse from Italy
Watamu tamu sana
Hi, thank you for the vid. Which place is good in Watamu to stay if you like beach volleyball?
I love your Diani video. I went to Diani a year ago and loved it so much that I returned two more times and ended up investing on a plot to build a house in the future.

On the other hand, I feel the good beach boys/men should organise themselves and create a clean business environment eradicating the crooks. Otherwise best beach in Africa.
Correct
In future just show up at the beach in the morning and you'll get a boat. Pay before boarding or after
😅😂the guys are already stoned @8am haha my pipo are just living their life
When are you coming to Zimbabwe?😅
What is the name of the appatement in Watamu please ? :)
Hii, please let me know which apartment it was, thank you
i live around
How much does the hotel your reviewed cost? Indeed paradise..
It’s actually an apartment, I was alone and I paid something like 35 usd per night. Very good deal!
It’s called rischland Villas
@@ridewithgabi Wow-reasonable indeed, that place in a resort next door in Ethiopia would easily cost USD $200+ per night. BTW is that price per person or per flat ? Cheers

Have you suggested to your followers to participate with you in opening a hotel in Thailand?

contact details for that appartment pls
Un giorno, quando verrai in Kenya, per favore fammi sapere che sarò il tuo fratello ospitante 😂
Grazie 🙏🏻
Sad to see one foreign investor Italian after investing millions he is being told its not his land.
Foreginers can't own land in Kenya, only rent it for up to 99 years.
Be careful in Kenya brother, especially in Nairobi. It is not safe at all, I speak from experience. Take care.
Fake alarmist
@@japhethnamayi8582 you are Kenyan or African I guess... Trying to lie about the reality. Well you can lie to yourself, and i warn people I care about. Kenya is not safe it's a fact.
Depending on who you meet, also the bad ones smell fear so go in fitting in. Don’t show to be an outsider.
Stop spreading fear and propaganda
Being a Kenyan in Kenya or being a foreigner is different. Maybe it's safe for Kenyan (although I doubt it) but definitely not safe for foreigners.
Gabi why are you uploading 2 months old videos in 2024. You left Kenya in December 2023.
Internet Safety ! You never show your actual Location. Also if you were content creater you would know that you shoot when you can. Upload later on.
Exactly
The should really call this place Beggars Paradise, everywhere you go is beggars, in the shops, on the beach, Don't go it's a dump.
You're so ridiculous!😅
