    I was in Kenya in November my first visit to east Africa en route to Zanzibar. I am Nigerian but lived in England for 28 years. I fell in love with Nairobi and its people. I told my friends I would be looking to relocate there in the near future.

    Nice video you captured quite a bit. In Nairobi we have many parks not animal related. The Karura forest, the Uhuru gardens, Uhuru park, chiromo park etc. These provide the fresh air and relaxation/recreational places we need in Nairobi and were fought for by civil and environmental activists like Peace Laurette Professor Wangari Maathai. Visit them too.

    In terms of rent, it is financial system issue. In Kenya mortgage facilities are widely available hence house ownership is far wider and as such competition is wider so landlords cannot dictate rental payment. The higher the amount one pays in advance is advantageous for a landlord whereas a lower amount favours the tenant!!

    Greetings! Thanks for your commentary on how you see Kenya compared to Nigeria. One thing I’d mention and maybe you could touch on is the fact that Kenya has some of the best coastal life (beaches) in Africa - and the general public has unfettered access; meaning, NO ONE has to pay for access. I don’t know if the same can be said of Nigeria.

On rent Kenyans pay monthly but it's not compulsory your can even pay annually if you wish(though no Kenyan would want that😊), on trees and green spaces not just Nairobi but all our cities and towns are very green (you can do your research) we built infrastructure as we plant trees in equal measures.
