    My father had a small coffee plantation just outside Kiambu back in 1959. Fascinating to see those roads again. The last time I was there was in 1963 when I was just 15 years old.

    I don't know what is more painful for me: to watch or not my beloved second home. I dare to call it although i'm not Kenyan but my wife is. Since i married her i miss her home too. I got know kenyan people i find you very similar to my nation therefore i love you all. Warm hearted, intelligent and suffered a lot but still strong. I go back as soon as i can. Thank you for all these videos i keep watch them every time. Greetings from a Hungarian.

The skies are fair too, very fair and I notice you guys take pride in edging something that doesn't happen here in Jamaica. In your videos I see edging at a distance of miles😍😍😍 Beautiful country again and ancestral guidance🌙

      Afrikan Traveller So glad you saw my comment and followed up. Please see Maki Estate on the road entrance towards ShadeNet. Those areas have great pineapple and flower farms. Unfortunately it will be a very, very bumpy road and maybe impassable right now after the heavy rains. There are alternate roads but they would wreck havoc on your car. Also, Please check out the construction of Juja - Mukinyi Rd. It has taken decades for them to start building the road. Now from Gatundu count towards Thika Highway, there is some little progress. I think you should be compensated by the government for your reviews-since they are unable to monitor where their funds go or don’t go. We have learned so so so so much travelling with you. Thank you for sharing your work.
