- We finally made it home!
It was a long Matatu ride from Nairobi but it was all worth it when we were reunited with Juju and Ntagu in Meru.
The next morning we saw our home that we’ve been building from abroad for the very first time!
We are happy to be home and are settling in.
Thanks for watching! 🇰🇪❤️
Hey friends! Keep your eye out on my instagram stories/ saved highlights tomorrow for some more details on the house building process.. info about contractor etc.
many of you have been asking and I feel like this will be the best way to relay the info!
My instagram is @mekenze_in_ Kenya
Thanks so much! ❤️
Sorry most of us are not on IG
Say it again! 'Jūjū' and 'Ntagu'
am watching from qatar getting beautiful house like yours

Hello! I have been a follower. But just trying my shot. Can I light up your home with some of our beautiful solar products🙏
I was called to do the Exterior textured paint of that house, how beautiful it came out
Your kids will thank you one day, they are truly blessed…
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ from 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

Isn't it interesting how Africans will welcome Mzungus with open arms into Africa, but Mzungus will never welcome Africans into their countries like this. Instead they look forward to Africans returning to their countries. Smh.
Meru, Kikuyu and Embu men don't talk much. We let actions speak for us.
@@bensonmuriithi1781 🤣 uongo mtupu
Wow 😯 this family is very lucky to have good people back to build such a beautiful house 🏠 for them
I know right.... and take care of the home too... real LUCK!
@@genevievegk Absolutely, it’s hard to get good people like this knowing how much corrupt some family members could be squandering others hard earned money. This good man deserves a great deal of gratitude from his brother and wife. I respect ✊🏾 him
True story so lucky lol
Truth!!
To have good people back to build such a beautiful house, you just need to fast 177 days.
This is Africa that the western world doesn't show on media .... My dear you are the best ever, i wish all Americans see Africa this way ....
Always when they come to Africa they only focus on the negative sides of Africa and ignore how great Africa is... Thanks for showing us the beauty of Nairobi and Meru Kenya 💕💕
Hi McKenzie , Welcome to Meru Kenya. My wife is Meru and we recently visited Kenya and my kids enjoyed Kenya a lot . They keep talking about Ntagu and guka. Your story inspires a lot about going back home one day. We live in Seattle WA.
Am a Kenyan living in the US, and I am both jealous, and inspired. Good for you guys.
The best jealousy,I know you can do it,your dream is valid
Why it's your country u can go anytime
UA-cam recommended me here probably because I come from these areas of Meru but currently working in Nairobi. I've subscribed to follow my Sister. God keep you. When you come to JKIA say Hi, we welcome visitors inthere🤪 as security.
This is the best move any parents can made for their family. CONGRATULATIONS!🎈🎖🎈🎖
Your voices sounds like you were overwhelmed almost close to tears. I am sure things will settle down as long as you don’t get caught up in the imperfections. It’s family anything goes. One thing at a time. ❤
Welcome to Kenya, currently living in Kenya from Mozambique, Kenya is home, I am inspired ❤
You’re most welcome. Feel at home☺️

I am from Kenya and i currently live in Mozambique🇲🇿🥰

We Love you Luzuka, feel at home.
Welcome to meru! You will love it!

Your house is beautiful!! Happy for you!! I live in Italy (but am from the US) and have met many Kenyans here. They're always kind, friendly, with the most generous nature and beautiful smiles. I hope to visit Kenya one day. It's a beautiful country with beautiful people. Bless you and your family!
Thanks so much for watching! Kenyans really are very loving and kind . I love being around them. I hope you get to visit someday ☺️
My wife is a Kenyan, from Ncubu near Meru town. Had many a ride in those mat's. Great stuff. Asante sana.
It's Nkubu that's my hometown thanks for mentioning it

Amazing home, for me those goats, the downtown Nairobi chaos, the ride through the country, and the house it all tied up together so beautifully. Congrats, truly happy for you. You have inspired me immensely

How are you
Muuga @regina come from Meru central too
Eti kaârî gakwâ kangêntî ! Ûrâ kaînyî😂😂😂😂
You are bona-fide Kenyans if you go to upcountry home using the matatu... Welcome 🤗🤗
@@africanman5915 I do it all the time. It's a good way of teaching our kids to be humbled
Wow, your house is gorgeous! I'm excited to follow you guys! Many blessings to you & your family!
Thanks so much! I appreciate you being here. ❤️
@@Mekenzeinkenya ,,,welcome to Kenya,,,,am a student here Meru U niversity,,and a big deal,,,
@@albertkariuki7399 chillax my boy
Thanks for glimpse into life on the continent, it’s a fascinating place for sure.
It is an incredible place. Thanks for watching my videos! ☺️
The home was built well and the interior finishing is splendid. I love that you documented the Nairobi to Meru trip, the 'Tea Room' matatu stage, taking a break at the Mwea stop over, takes me back.
They stopped in Mwea
@@Ravasco20 Oh yes, Mwea. That's how long it's been 😄
@@stephenlamba6379 don't worry,,, everything will be alright😂☺☺
@@stephenlamba6379 mwea probably
That journey is familiar, almost thought I'm heading to meru
So great to hear the matatu touts speak Kimeru!! I am Meru and live in the USA. Just found your channel. Can't wait to see my home through your eyes.
Muuga 😊
It was fun....Kwanza it's pure kimeru...fun...and no vulgar
I am JEALOUS! I was born in one Caribbean country, married a girl from another Caribbean country, lived in both places for some time, and we now live in the USA. We have been to Ghana and Tanzania, and I have been to Liberia. Videos of almost anywhere in Africa make me HOMESICK and JEALOUS!!! It looks and feels and connects like HOME. Forget "diaspora"; I'm in "exile"! Sigh.
Home is where the most 🤎 is 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
How could you visit TZ and skip Kenya😛
Welcome to Kenya .....hakuna matata
Come back home and stay for good. Greetings from Uganda 😊
Welcome to Tanzania 🇹🇿
I'm a new follower... eeeeeeish I'm excited! Welcome home.
Meru is all amazing!
I must look for you soon❤️😘
Merians in the house cheeeeeeeei 👊
Watching from Scandinavia and I got homesick though I am not a Kenyan. You inspired me a lot, hopefully I could get a good contractor like your to build me such a house in Uganda.
Sister Nalunga try Bakaluba when it comes to contractors in Ug. He truly understands pretty much everything people from diaspora want/taste.
@@sullykiyaga7922 Thanks for the response but I rather not take anymore UG contractor. Unfortunately many have done us wrong!
U get a good contractor so long as u a trust worthy relative n who not jealous of you. U will make it
@@balkissuleiman4278 Relatives? If you are desperately in need of breaking away from your family, engage them in your business. Money is a relationship breaker in this Godless wicked world.
@@nalunga64 its unfortunate it's true but there only few people who r trusted. Sorry but wish u all the best.
Thanks for giving me The plan for a beautiful bungalow ...these r the designs real estate should embrace it has a descent taste.
I’d steal the design of that house , I love it
Thank you!!
Wow, I came across your channel today. Your house is very beautiful, I love it ❤️. With love from South Africa.
Beautiful home, congratulations! I am from Taita Kenya currently living in the uk. I hope to go back home with my daughter. Karibu nyumbani!
I hope you get to come back soon with your daughter.. this country is an incredible place to live peacefully.
Aaah wonderful mwanedu habari ya cha kolughu wulaya. Welcome home taita is quite developed nowadays @Christine W
Mdawida maana . Habari ya UK?
The house looks so beautiful both outside and inside,, someone can't believe its in the village in Meru wow, welcome to kenya
I like that sound of rooster... hopefully you enjoy yourself!!! you're so humble and you earned yourself a subscriber from Kenya.
Hopefully?. She is going to have a blast. Chilled lce life on the rocks, you deserve it sister you made the correct decision. Now relax, hakuna matata.
Just beautiful. Welcome to Kenya. Kindly more house tour. I love what I see.
This is a beautiful house. I love the yard space and how fruitful and natural everything is.
Greetings from Connecticut USA, I just came across your channel on my TV and I love you guys a family, you guys are a awesome family. Am a Jamaican living in the USA for 27 years but my heart is in Africa for a long time now. I trace my ancestry DNA to Nigeria and Kenya, I already visited Nigeria and now am planning on visiting Kenya, I can’t wait. Stay bless you lovely family ❤
Men I have watch a few of your videos, and it’s no brainer Kenya is beautiful. Going back home and settle is our longtime goal. When I grow up I wanna be like you guys! It’s so refreshing the freedom and living in the country free from the pollutants.
The calmness,peace, fresh air,beautiful scenery,house,family at large is what welcomed me too online..May God bless you all.❤
Hi Mackenzie, karibu sana Kenya as we say it in kiswahili I'm excited to be following you in your journey to settlement here in Kenya I'm sure you will enjoy it.
Asante sana!
When you said quick meal in mwea my heart stopped I really miss home I can't wait to go back coming next year
I just came across your channel for the first time and I'm subscribing now
you are a smart lady. UA-cam suggested this video and I clicked real quick, liked and subscribed. My notification bell is also on. I am a UA-camr here in Kenya based in Watamu. I am positive once you settle in you will visit the beautiful coastal towns please put Watamu & Lamu onto your bucket list. Okay enough excitement from me now, Karibu Kenya😀💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
First, Kenya is one of the few countries that uses a Christian (edit: many have clarified in the comments that is a Kenyan prayer) hymn as its national anthem. Which came as a surprise to me. Second, as one who is Indian in origin, the influence of India on Kenya was also quite surprising. Chapati, Samosa, Bhaji... I could not believe my ears when this Kenyan pastor's kids were referring to their food with Indian words. Turns out, we a lot more in common than meets the eye! We both love Kenya, and I hope to visit Kenya. Soon, I pray!
Edit: Thanks to all who clarified that the Kenyan national anthem is not a Christian hymn, but rather a Kenyan prayer. But, it inspires, never the less.
All the restaurants in Kenya seem to be ran by the South Asians that Idi Amin kicked out of our neighbours to the north in Uganda.
Chai, Dunia
@@mamawatorotalks8208 chai=tea
Dunia=world
Our national anthem is actually a prayer the words of which were locally composed and the tune is from a local traditional song.
@@zahraismail4617 yap same same
I also live in Kenya but because I understand how ma3s can be you must be so proud you made it out alive
Oh I love kenya 🇰🇪 and the food and culture is amazing. Meru is quite far to go with a Matatu, nice to have several stops to exercise your legs and stretch. I wish you the best, nothing like home.
Made me miss home especially those streets of Nairobi and commercial
welcome to Kenya Mekenze Family that's such a great piece of engineering.👏 congratulations the kids are really happy to be home 😊
Wooow just wooow. Welcome to Kenya. You have a beautiful house, adorable children and a wonderful family🙏.

Ukipata please share lol
Your home house is looking sow beautiful from out side.to the inside and your families looking sow respectful both of you. Stayed Cool and God less👍Cheers
Off a truth i do really like your Idea of being able to convince your wife to come down with you to Keny, i know it was a hard work. But I do appreciate both of you efforts. More of you to say and to know. From Stewart Lucky salami 🇬🇧
Welcome to Kenya my sister. Your children are very beautiful. Kenya is a unique country and its home to everyone. All the best!!
Asante sana!!
Connect me with your sister,friend, jirani etc
10:30 looks like a septic tank :) not an underground water tank. I don't think the US has septic tanks as most places are sewer-connected
Watching this made me miss my homeland.
I hope you get to visit home soon
@@Mekenzeinkenya thank u
Congratulations !. You are still young with three children to build a beautiful house like that need the courage , brave, hard and hope. Well done !.
George's a jack of all trades..from chef to contractor..to everything..
I’ve never been so quick to subscribe and like a UA-cam video! This was such an apt recommendation by YT! Beautiful house, beautiful family! 👏🏽
Ingekua ni mkenya haungefanya hivyo....woiii, ukoloni uta tumaliza...

Share videos in your current country. Would love to have a glimpse of life in the UK. I dream of studying there for masters🙏.

In Meru I'm thinking you should be able to see the snow capped peak of Mt Kenya to your west pretty easily since it's starting to be autumn.
