In Africa, there is much to explore, ask the colonizers that came and keep coming. Nonetheless, here in Nairobi, there is so many places to discover and uncover. Today, we were back on our "residential tourist vibe. In our adventure, we took time to check out an awesome "forest in the middle of the city".
Who would have thought?

This forest was largely defended by the late wangari maathai , Kenyas first Nobel prize winner
President Moi wanted to build skyscrapers by clearing that whole forest but it took a bravery of one woman called WANGARI MATHAI for those plans not to be implemented and so the world recognised her efforts by awarding her THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE
The damage that primitive dictator caused to Kenya really kept Kenya a 100 years behind I'm telling ya. He literally jumpstarted misgovernance & corruption as you witness today..It is quite a shame previously backward countries like Malaysia & Singapore have overtaken Kenya.
Later she was erased.....ngai knows why she suddenly became sick😮
@@decoloniz_afrowe all eventually die, all these conspiracy theories flying around makes one question our general mental health.
@@decoloniz_afroShe got sick with cancer. What are you talking about?
That's amazing. Thanks for sharing this information
This makes me love Kenya before i even get there! Love love nature
Absolutely beautiful forest. I am absolutely relocating. Thank you for sharing.
Welcome to Kenya. You will enjoy it.
Visit Tigoni and Limuru Tea plantation. Only few km from Karura forest. The greenery and landscape is amazing. (Visit during clear sky day)
Baby steps . You will get there. Next try Ngong Hills. There are many more hiking trails and hills. it's a good therapy and good way to start your week. The fresh air the quiet and the sore muscles after make it worth it
You guys need to visit tigoni kiambu county 40 minutes drive from Nairobi your wife will enjoy it if she love tea plants 😊
I bet you know the story about the lady that won a Nobel Peace Prize for this forest (and other greenery around the city), Wangari Maathai. Our 2nd president, Moi, was a dictator (just like in practically every other country in Africa then, SA just emerging from apartheid). Moi was surrounded by political thugs who wanted to build commercial buildings there, as well as in Uhuru park (one of them was my neighbor, wealthy AF). She protested and despite being beaten and bloodied up, she persisted. Wangari was the 1st black African woman to win the Nobel prize.
I'm loving the vibes from both of you. Looks like you're both having a blast in Nairobi. Please don't forget some of us still left in Kigali. We'll like to know how to live and thrive in Kenya. I love the positive energy. Keep them coming. Blessings!
Can also check out Kereita forest in Kiambu. They have activities like zip lining, bike riding, archery and paint ball. They also have a restaurant in the middle of the forest. You'll be fascinated.
So beautiful Nature. Happy people
Wow guys absolutely amazing, i will definitely as this to my "must visit" list! as always, great video and thanks for sharing!!!
Thank you sir
That was a date with mother nature too.
You'll definitely have to explore Karura Forest once or several more times to cover every interesting nook!
Spanning over 2500acres, Karura is one of the green and natural spaces referred to as the "Lungs of Nairobi".
Others are Uhuru Park, Central Park, Uhuru Gardens, Nairobi Arboretum, Michuki Park, City Park, Jamhuri Park, Ngong Forest and the very wild Nairobi National Park.
All these parks have eventful pasts bordering on sheer greed of developers and other capitalistic interest groups out to turn them into concrete jungles!
Kenyans fought hard breaking limbs and livelihoods to save and conserve them!
The city has grown in expanse and heights but the parks have remained intact thanks to public vigilance.
In the city centre you'll find smaller but convenient Jevanjee Gardens and the non-motorized Aga Khan Walk that stretches from Hilton on City Hall Way to Heile Selassie Avenue. Adjacent to the Walk is the August 7th Memorial Park (Kenya's equivalent to Ground Zero)
Wow. This is awesome information 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾.
Next try Oloolua forest in Karen, the Ngong Hills in Ngong, Arboretum in Kileleshwa.
Peace n Blessings to you too Muhammad's family.. You guys are such a joy to watch. I hope we meet one day. I just love your authenticity and how you guys have been able to flow with the river called life. Your ability to adjust and manoeuvre is refreshing.
Down the main road there’s a place called paradise lost it’s amazing the way you find joy in the most natural places
Jambo? You guyz are sooo positive and make a great inpact on other black americans who wish to visit this part of african that has been greatly ignored by the blacks in Usa!. Also, the kenyans are watching you closely and i think they love your positive atitude n honesty, plus your careful thought words. Keep it up and be blessed alwayz🙏🏽
Look at those smiles! Love it. Looks like Kenya is good to/for you❤
There are worlds of adventures to be had in and around Nairobi. Please keep sharing with the world.
For exercise, try to make walking the Karura Forest Trails once per week . Start with the 5km trail before progressing to the 10km and 15km routes as you get fitter. Carry water and watch out for rain from March to May.
1 mile = 1.6km
Awesome 👏 Can’t wait to walk hike that trail and visit the forest
Thanks for sharing. I enjoy watching your videos. Peace & Blessings.
Wow that is really nice
Please do a tour of “The Nairobi Arboretum” which is also a very beautiful park and is a walking distance of the City Centre. Not sure whether Uhuru Park & Central Park is opened to the public yet. It’s also a nice park that’s pretty close to the Nairobi Central Business District.
Thank you
@@TheResidentialTouristsarboretum is also close to Riverside and Kilimani
And the Arboretum has the Sykes Monkeys you love. They usually come out late afternoons. Sykes Monkeys are generally gentle and sweet. Avoid the non-sykes ones because some may bite if you approach them. If you want pictures with Sykes on your shoulder, visit City Park in Parklands. Photographer there knows how to get friendly Sykes Monkeys to pose with you. However avoid going off trail at city park. Just Stat in the main area where all the people are. And hold on to your bag. Sykes Monkeys will grab and run off with it if they suspect you are carrying food! But they are lovely Monkeys at City Park
Thanks for sharing. I was just asking for a video
Nice walk through the forest. So peaceful. Although you said its not real, Im surprised you walked that close to Crocodile. Those things can be still for hours. 🐊
Lol
❤ Beautiful ❤
❤❤❤❤❤
As a foodie, I'm happy to see other people also get derailed from their mission by lunch 😂
If you love coffee try Nairobi coffee and tea farm tours. They are amazing.
Greetings Residential Tourists, let’s not forget that we don’t have to conform to anyone’s linguistic standards as we can create our own language standards and literature. Kenya is my first choice when considering Africa in Western standards and South Africa next maybe, as I am very concerned about the overall condition of our people under Dutch-British colonial financial hegemony in South Africa. Continue enjoying yourselves there in Kenya and I like forward to visit your new restaurant. Queen, it a good thing, you loving Kenya. Thanks for sharing.
i love nature enjoy 254 KE
Make an effort also to visit Nairobi arboretum

Spoke too soon,I guess they have maps.
They actually do provide maps. They also have a map board.
Glad to see you happy. Why did you move from Kigali?

You need Jesus
The United Nations Population Fund, aka UNFPA, is sending a big chunk of its New York City staff members packing to Kenya! This is a problem. Please look it up.
Nairobi has been the UN HQ for entire Africa since 1975. No country in Africa has a huge number of UN Staff than Kenya. It is not new that UNFPA would want to do that. Oxfam's HQ for the entire world was also moved to Nairobi some years back. This is why Nairobi keeps being voted as the best city to live and work in by expats. Many other global businesses have offices in Nairobi. Nothing new to be honest.
send me a link , we know their intentions are never good
Most staff in the UN system prefer Nairobi anyway. After being rotated in New York, Geneva, Vienna and Nairobi they usually fall for Nairobi and eventually push to have regional offices relocated here. Apart from the UNON,UNEP and UN-Habitat headquarters, Nairobi also hosts over 30 UN agencies.
@@esem135 What are you saying. The UN Habitat and UNEP in Nairobi are global headquarters for habitat and environmental programs, not African.
@TimelyInspiration-qp7yi Exactly What I said. The United Nations Office at Nairobi (UNON) is the United Nations HQ for Africa.
