    Mutombo you know the drill! it’s all about the local food or at least try it and a sightseeing ride around the city. That’s а great combo. and I was Pleasantly surprised to know that Kempinski also operates in 🇰🇪. Speaking of kempinski, My favorite kempinski is in Moscow right opposite and facing the Kremlin(red square) over the river and the view is breathtaking. highly recommended…

    The concierge was alarmist and a bad representation of his country by perpetrating stereotypes. As a Kenyan he should have known better. Like you rightfully pointed out, just have your wits about and around you in any big city or crowded places. In the 90s Nairobi CBD had a bad reputation because of the street kids menace that stole and terrorised people and just general insecurity like mugging. Today, that can rarely happen and the part of town you were in is generally safe. Hopefully we have more footage of activities you did in Nairobi and I hope Mombasa is treating you good.

    • @mutomboinprogress
      @mutomboinprogress  Рік тому +1

      Yeahhh I think the concierge just preferred to err on the side of caution. He probably didn’t know that generally, I can handle myself out and about It’s good to know that Nairobi CBD is generally safe… I definitely felt at ease walking about.

    • @mutomboinprogress
      @mutomboinprogress  Рік тому +1

    That greasy chips and chicken can hardly be described as Nairobi street food. Such kind of places were popular with teenagers in the 80s and 90s as they were obsessed with anything Americana and it's obvious they really didn't grow up 30-40 years later. I would not advise anyone to go eat that bad food. There's nothing culturally Kenyan about it even the weird names that pay homage to US cities and celebrities

    • @mutomboinprogress
      @mutomboinprogress  Рік тому

      Ahh this makes sense. I agree that the actual Kenyan food (chapati, Ugali, mrenda etc) that I ate the next day was definitely better. Great, in fact.
