The ban on plastic bags was effected in 2017, We weren't happy but 7/8 years later we can appreciate living in an environment that is not litterd by plastic bags and drainages that are not clogged by plastic bags
Good move
@@EfyaKimoraI have enjoyed your video, good job 👏🏾
The low temperatures are seasonal, you visited during "winter" Go back in January, and it will be hot and dry. In SA, and it gets to -3° in June/July
As for driving RHD on left side, it's carry over from British who colonized EA & that we mostly source vehicles from Japan, while on your side of the continent it's influence from French colonizers and also that you get vehicles from US
@@kevingakio6412 yeah
we also want to ban plastic bottles

As a Kenyan currently in Ghana, i see the differences as well..and i am learning new things too!
You see
You are a very objective reporter. Your review gives an accurate account of how Kenya is.
Thank you
In Kenya you have to stay for along time and interact with the various cultures to get the full scope of all traditional dishes which are many. But if you only stay in the Urban centers you will probably come across the national staples that you've mentioned .
And cry how tasteless the meals r, then create another video of how similar n delicious our meals r to what she knows
East Africans are more Polish in character and public behavior. These people look humble.. not so loud when in a conversation..or just talking..but they are so tough mentally.
Don't be mistaken when you meet any of them and think that they are timid.
exactly
Couldn't agree with this
I would mention the country but that's true
Tell that to Nigeria people as a lot of people that most East Africans meet are mostly Nigerians. A French speaking west African person will not be moving or relocating to English speaking east Africa.
Is more of a Nigerian East Africans encounter and with their laud, speaking behaviour….that irritates East Africans. French speaking west Africans are quiet speaking and mostly go to France and maybe other French speaking countries in Africa.
Polish people are loud when talking what are you talking about.
Kenya is one of the biggest flower exporter
I see
You are correct. But Kenya, Azania, and Ghana do similar things, they never revenge against Any Europeans,
It's a shame there still are plastic flowers, I would ban them if I became prez
And best in long races
Ugali, Spinach & roasted meat
As a Kenyan,what shocked me about Ghana was seeing death announcements on highway billboards.
I had one tourist friend from Liberia who said the same thing
What 😮 That would be interesting to see 😅
That is interesting 😅
Haha the annual rent thing in West Africa and plastic bags everywhere was such a culture shock for me, coming from Kenya. It's true, we live a VERY different life compared to a lot of African countries in West and Central Africa. Ghana is my favourite country outside Kenya though 💝
The plastic bags in Uganda was a culture shock for me especially because they use the black and green and blue bags that we used to use pre- 2017.
😅yeah, when it comes food we score very low. We had traditional foods but people just became lazy to prepare them
In Ghana, we love our local food even if it's hard to prepare it
Yes, Ghanaians score big on food varieties. I could marry a Ghanaian just for the food score😅.
We pride ourselves for having been the first country world over to use mobile money, that's why MPESA is our most preferred mode of transaction
Okay
And it is still the best mobile money transfer system in the world
Am a proud Kenyan,love that u experienced good places in East Africa Kenya
I am too

I haven't been there but I love Kenyan's, because I used to enjoy their TV programme on GBC, called URTNA, in the 90s. And I have always known Kenyans are more enlightened than Ghanaians. Their educational curricula is also better.
URTNA, the Union of National Radio and Television, was under the OAU.
Some of you just pour ignorance with confidence. Do you even understand what you just typed? How do you measure enlightenment. On what scope? And what was the sample size of your research?
@monagiselle common wisdom should should tell you to listen to the blogger if you can't assimilate my comment. If the average Ghanaian can't assess and understand distance in Km or Miles, but the average Kenyan can do it, that should tell you that Kenyans are not only literate enough but numerate enough as well. Look at streets of niarobi and compare to Accra? Can you compare your korle lagoon and odawna to any water body in Niarobi? Has your beloved Ghana been able to go cashless in your economy? A stark illiterate in Kenya is able to transact businesses without cash. Now tell me if you have any beach in Accra devoid of human excreta? Massa, you are not civilised yet ok? travel to East Africa and see how laws are obeyed far better than the west. Go and see how infrastructure development is taken seriously, whereas ordinary pipe borne water is luxury in Accra.
@@psalm91courtslimited17 . You are actually a walking ignoramus. Which average Ghanaian are you talking about? Have you seen the slums of Nairobi? Ghana and Kenya who has better HDI, infrastructure etc. Ofui
@@monagiselle he is right, most of West Africans might have discovered East Africa through the internet but in Kenya the whole of Africa was part of the curriculum way before the 'internet breakthrough', you are likely to meet Kenyans who can breakdown the Asante Kingdom even better than Ghanaians, I don't know if Ghanaians (read West Africans) would do a breakdown of the Buganda Kingdom, you tell me.
I loved your comparisons. Educative without exaggeration. Kenyan here.
Thank you 🤝
I admire east africans of how they enjoy life/laid-back and very hard working /loving people
They really enjoy life
Welcome if you can travel I have been to tamale
West Africans are very proud and loud, especially naija guys but they have nothing to show on the ground for their pride and ego😅😅😅
Try visit the rural parts of Kenya. You will experience a lot of diverse cultures, the Game reserves and beautiful terrains. Thank you for visiting our Country. I have been to Accra - University of Accra and I can relate.
Okay
But we don't have University of Accra
You've made the most comprehensive culture shock video I have ever watched! 🎉🔥👏
Ooh wow, I'm glad you enjoyed it
@@EfyaKimora I'm honest. I've watched a hundred and you really tried.
@@findinglela very much appreciated 🥰🥰🤝
You came to Nairobi during the cold season it seems. That's around June, July and August partly. The rest of the year can get a lot warmer. Can get up to 28.
Oooh okay
On Mpesa you weren't told that the mobile money concept was created in Kenya. It's the reason why it has grown exponentially than many other areas.
Ooh okay
Temperatures are affected by altitude.Nairobi is at 1650 metres above sea level.At sea level it very warm throughout.Futher,June to August is Kenyas cool season.The other months are fairly warm,even at altitude.
Thank you for adding up🤝🥰
We drive on the left and use Rigjt hand drive vehicles.
British model
Yeah
It seems your tour guide was in a lot of hurry. He should have taken you to places where you can eat street foods like mutura, smocha,bhajias etc. Kenya is a lovely country with lots of friendly people.
The people are lovely indeed 🥰
@@EfyaKimora coast has a huge variety of foods even coconut rice, coconut fish, mbaazi, sea food, different candies like mabuyu, kashata, desserts, swahili beef, chicken, goat, fish biriyani, pilau, maandazi, vitumbua, bhajia, kuku wa kupaka, shawarma, mchicha, chapati, samosa, even how they make tea is 👏🏾
Main land save for roasted meats, there is wetfry, mukimo (many varieties here), traditional greens, githeri, mutura
, ugali as youvecseen (we like meat) For good food we borrow alot from the coast
Chips is not taken as much i think that was your tour guide. Chips is a snack unless paired with alot of meat
We also eat chapati with beans or green grams, kitheri( a mixture of beans and maize), maandazi(baked cake) mshombo( a mxture of rice and green grams), ugali with fish stew or meat stew, cassava either boiled or cooked with coconut oil served with roasted shark or fried fish.
Sounds great!
Stop sugar coating and say Chapo dondo (Chapati served with beans😂)
This was so interesting. Thank you for sharing your travel experience to Kenya.
Thanks for watching
Surprisingly, if you hoot at someone, they get very angry because its like an insult. If you hear a hoot, there is a near miss accidental... its a very serious warning or someone is very angry with the next driver
Ooh wow… here it's normal
@@EfyaKimora😂 thats why you guys are loud. You like noise
You're welcome again to Kenya the land of flowers 😊
Thank you! 😃
We prefer our food dry, if you want soup, just ask for some
Okay
Speak for your tribe🫢

Thank you for the video. I am Kenyan. Watching from Atlanta. Ghana is dear to my heart ❤️, as I have an old Girl Friend who was a Ghanian when I lived in Florida in the 80s and 90s as a young man. Ghanaians are very calm and friendly. I hope to visit maybe next year. Asante Sana!!
Thanks for sharing and watching 🤝
So you have used a Ghanaian girl without marrying her.
@@klaw1425 She knows I would have died 100 times for her. We were deeply in love, however we were both very young. We went to High School together in Florida and ended up in the same University. I can’t give any more details, as what happened next just brings tears 😭 to my eyes. I will love her always.

Kenyan in Washington DC here I also loved the video and yes Ghanaians are some of the most friendly Africans most of my high school friends were Ghanaian.
Thank you for marketing our motherland Kenya.
Welcome to #magicalkenya. Karibu tena🎉
Thank you too!
Ghana has a long way to go. West Africa is generally not developmentally conscious. They are different, very different.
Who has a long way to go, and West Africa is what? Learn how to spell developmentally correctly before commenting ignorantly.
Ghana is Ghetto. Only Ghanaians don't know lol. But the traveled ones know Ghana is far behind compared to East Africa. Even Nigeria without light is more developed LOL
@@everythingeveedwards🤦🏻♀️
FACT!
@@everythingeveedwards 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Btw ugali greens and meat is not just a Kenyan dish. Very common in southern African countries. If you go to Zim you will find their popular meal called Sadza it's the same. Same with SA ugali is just pap. So it's very common in Eastern and Southern African countries
Okay
In Uganda 🇺🇬 it's posho ❤
Rent for two years continuous looks like a problem to me. It is like a chain to tie your mind to one place. I would like that for commercial premises not for residential.
By the time you are leaving the neighbours look like your relatives already.
I totally agree!
Where did you do that in Kenya? Uongo!!! That means lies in swahili.
We don’t do that in Kenya. Be keen not to be scammed .
@@56manya seek to understand before you comment
@@Swians It's not only a chain to tie you to one place but also expensive to many kenyans. If the monthly rent is kshs 10,000 for example, rent for two years will be kshs 240,000 which is out of reach for many of the citizens.
@@56manya did you really read the comment well?
Thanks for visiting Kenya. You are always welcome and I hope to visit Ghana soon.
Please do!
@@EfyaKimoraI will never visit or associate with Ghana people,a whole pastor literally coned me a few thousand $ despite saying and promising that he will pay up. Almost one year aside type.

On food I have to agree but its not that we dont have,I think we kenyans like to foods we can fix fast and conitnue with our businesses.Theres no time in pounding yam or so..lol
Mmmmm🤔
So you don't really eat to your satisfaction 😕
@@EfyaKimora Normally we go with what is easy to make fast,but there's more variety of foods there but not as much as Ghana
@@EfyaKimora..I think we should just accept that we r diverse as africans with different cultures.we can't all like the same things.

@klaw1425 Mr.Right you know all
@@paulinewangila-cs6ys yeah
@@paulinewangila-cs6ys Africa is a continent, not a country, so it does not have a capital city. Each of the 54 recognized countries in Africa has its own capital city. Some examples include:
- Cairo (Egypt)
- Pretoria (South Africa)
- Nairobi (Kenya)
- Addis Ababa (Ethiopia)
- Lagos (Nigeria)
However, the African Union (AU), which is the continental organization of African countries, has its headquarters in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. But this is not a capital city of the continent, rather the location of the AU's secretariat.
Yes...the hooting in Lagos is just crazy unlike in Kenya where theres no hooting at all..
Yes

Hey Efya,most burials happn on Saturday too here in Kenya but still some happen on week days
@@topamazingclips okay
Lowest temperature in Nairobi Kenya can be 7° and highest @ 28° depending with the season
Wow
Accra is a coastal town, so you can only compare Accra weather to Mombasas
We have different seasons. Check out the weather before you travel
Kenya has a mazing culture, new subscriber from south Sudan.
Thank you, sir 🤝
Hi from kenya. South Sudanese have always been my fave east Africans, they co-exists so well with us here in our country.
Different cultures in Kenya do funerals/bury on different days of the week.
Ooh okay
@@EfyaKimorathere are funerals on weekends, though not many. Growing up, most funerals used to be held on Saturdays. The reason many are done on weekdays is because funerals on weekends would clash with other functions where the priest’s presence was required. For example he’d have two weddings and two funerals. So you’d find the functions running into the night waiting for him. So it was a decision among the people and the church to have Saturdays for weddings. A funeral can be held on Saturday if the priest is available to do the rites
Even weddings nowadays are done on weekdays like Thursday or Friday. It's not as common but it's not unusual infact I believe the trend is rising.
Okay
You should have visited 3in one Kenya Uganda Tanzania east Afrika community development vs west African
Okay
East Africa gives are stan south Sudan those girls are beautiful kenya Rwanda my gosh i like them
Yeah my motherland is the London of Africa👍also our culture is completely different with the West Africans. Regarding Kenyan foods/dishes that roasted meat can be cooked as stew, or there's stew chicken and stew fish EITHER roasted then cook stew/source keep meat pieces or chicken pieces even fish stew ANOTHER alternative the source/stew can be cooked and served separately to eat the roasted meat with vegetables ie kale also served as side dishes with these different foods❤❤
Yes
Nairobi is a maasai word for a place of cool waters. It very above sea level. We have varieties of food. the green bag is called uhuru bag, Thank you for visiting. Karibu tena (Welcome again)
Thanks for the info!

July is the coldest month, usually as low as 17C . Other months weather in Nairobi is around 23-25C.

Me too my friend my dream is to tour AFRICA then the rest of the world
We have different seasons in kenya. You came to nairobi in the cold season. September to around march is warmer with dec to march being the hottest months. Mombasa is generally warm to hot and humid because its a coastal town and altitude is lower
The cold weather here in our Nairobi is only in June July and UpTo mid August
I loved it
Sometime back, while walking on the street in Nairobi, a colleague from India asked me why it was so quiet. I asked him what he meant and he explained that hooting is the order of the day in India!!
🤣🤣🤣
Welcome to kenya
Hoping to meet you before you back
😅 too late
The friend you spoke to who told you burials take place on weekdays must be from the tribes living next to Nairobi. In the western part of the country, funerals are generally on Saturdays and Sundays as the mourners have to travel all the way from their resident city or town.

13:48 it's cold season in June - August, then short rains September - November, then the real hot season (30 degree highs) in December through February, long rains in March to May.
Yeah
This is the winter season in Kenya so that is why you felt very cold especially in Nairobi. Maybe if you visit again in the near future and you don't want the cold visit from September-December and also from January-May. Those months have fair temperatures and some are rainy but definitely not cold. I hope your had a pleasant stay in Kenya.
There's no winter season on the tropics, we only have dry and wet seasons 😮

July tends to be coldest month in Nairobi.
I see
on mt kenya your friend lied... snow doesnt fall on mt kenya..but Mt Kenya has ice caps..its just ice because of the low temperatures, its not snow.. what we have close to snow is hailstorm and in some very cold areas the ice can stay for a day without melting, when i was young it would stay even 3 to 4 days without melting
Okay
A place called limuru in Kenya it does snow
@Rita12.443 there's a difference snow and hail..
@@PatsConfectionery nyahururu does
It's not like Kenya doesn't have variety of food, it depends on which region one comes from. Like in my background we Fry matoke, arrowroot, yams, pumpkins mashed with potatoes and cowpeas.
Okay
This is really interesting hearing the differences! I live in USA and have been acquainted with people from most parts of Africa including Ghana (west) and Kenya (east) , but Africa is big and I knew there would be differences. Probably the most interesting to me is that Ghana drives on the right like the USA whereas Kenya drives on the left like the UK, which I would expect left as former British colonies. Quick googles reveal Nigeria also drives on the right but Gambia and Sierra Leone drive on the left (also former British colonies). I will have to research how Ghana and Nigeria escaped the British curse of driving on the left (left is wrong as you know 🙃😛). I used to frequently go to Hong Kong and PRC China a couple of decades ago and HK is left and PRC is right. As you know, one is correct and one is not😉. jk, sort of :).
I love it. Thanks for adding up. When I returned from my trip, I told my mom about the driving style in Kenya and she told me Ghana used to drive the same and it was changed in 1974 or so
Left and right as I am saying it is what lanes the car is in, not what side of the car the steering wheel is located :).
@@EfyaKimora Yes! I just looked that up. A lot of neighbors were French influenced so Ghana and Nigeria decided to be good neighbors and switched to the right to be consistent.
importing cars from US for kenya would be a disaster due to geographic location hence the British way..west Africa is close to US
@perezscholes9110 Same as Japan. Most of the cars are imported from Japan.
Most burials in kenya used to happen on weekends( Saturday, Sunday) but the union of church leaders came up with weekdays burials to avoid interference with the church going . Most kenyans go to church on Saturday as well
Okay
Mombasa has to be hot because of the Water Body, that is the Indian ocean
Okay
Mombasa is hot cause it's lower in altitude and hotter in humidity

@@GreaterLight-xl6wvAcha uchokozi😂😂
That's generally East African culture, though few exceptions do exist such as Ugali/rice in Tanzania for instance will always be accompanied with stew or vegetable or both, in most cases you will be saved with 2 or more different vegetables in addition to your main dish which consists of ugali/rice /French fries with meat (fish, beef or chicken are common protein in various restaurants) . But I equally get shocked how can one manage driving on the left side of the car, it is easy to drive your car while using your right hand to control the stearing wheel, so I love the way we drive in East Africa. In Tanzania Also I don't have to carry cash, I can pay using mobile money for any service from personal transportation to grocery shopping, buying bus or train ticket etc. Also paying for government services such as water and electricity is strictly through mobile payment.
Burial ceremonies and wedding ceremonies are mostly on Saturdays a very small percentage bury on weekdays especially Adventists do it on Friday or Sundays.This is the truth here in Kenya for majority, whoever told you about week days burial did not give you the true picture.
True we don't do burials on wkdays.
True about the funerals
This has recently changed burials nowadays are held during weekdays and the reason why its changing from saturday is to accomodate without the feeling of guilt.As in your neighbor is holding a burial while the other is doing a wedding or a dowry ruracio ceremony has prompted the shift and most pastors will not allow burials on weekends.

Gh is hot due to its position close to (0,0) Equator and Greenwich Meridian. Thats where the sun resides hence the high temperatures. Kenya is on the equator but to the East, thats why it is colder.
Thanks for the lesson 🤝
For funerals it depends on who and where in Kenya. For people coming from mostly western sides of Kenya funerals are held either Fridays, Saturdays. This is because on distance to travel from Nairobi to those areas. Also for those observing sabbath on Saturdays burials will be done on Thursdays or Fridays, for those who go to church on Sundays then they will likely bury the dead on Saturday to allow maximum attendance of friends and relatives. Muslims will bury any day according to their customs. For the people coming around near Nairobi they will usually bury weekdays since its convenient for them travel wise. As for driving on the left side on the road we inherited from the British our former colonizers, Ghana must have changed their side to conform and accommodate the French speaking west African countries.
I see but in Ghana, funerals are done on Saturday and Sunday traditionally. But Saturday churches have their own days
But probably that's where similarities ends, I think in Ghana the family can bury somebody to even upto an year
@@samuelsamuel1800yes
@@EfyaKimorasomething different in Kenya is most commuties burry their dead meaning no show off or comparison of best burrial interms of varieties of food , slaughtering cows ,extreme dressing or bigger parties because money is contributed by community for everything mortuary fee, hospital bill, vehicle on the day of burrial and burrial expenditure all is done by community but family is involved to give their preference while few community do like west African cultures big parties facilitated by the family members
I come from Western Kenya. Have never seen a burial over the weekend. All burials are done between Monday to Friday
Thank you for coming
You are welcome
Welcome back to Nairobi there's much more to experience. Great City.
Thanks! 😃 sure👍
You did justice to the review❣️❣️proud Kenyan here!
Thank you girl🥰
Mombasa is a coastal town.
Most burial is done on Saturdays in kenya rarely in weekdays
Our Presbyterian ministers refused to perform funeral rites on weekends, they said it was messing up with their mental health to move to weddings from funerals. This then spread to other denominations...
😂😂😂 why you lying
Kenyan living in the UK and having visited Ghana and the Gambia. The cultural differences are great especially food wise
You see that too
Food there is plenty it depends on what you ordered , what you call as different varieties of food, in Africa we have mashed bananas,cassava dried grond to flour rice, corn flour and so on, with this you have to decide what goes with what, and at this point is where you're talking of varieties but what you eat in Ghana, we have the same the difference is that in kenya we don't make a a of mixed meats in one pot we cook separately even vegetables
Oooh I see
Truth is we don't have varieties like majority of other countries
Kenyan food variety is so limited compared to WestAfrican countries.In the cuisine sector lets accept that we are limited and not as creative, these guys even eat cow skin,snails etc and makes it tasty don't compare.Food wise and creativity of various cuisine s,west Africa is at the top of the pyramid.
Nairobi cold period is normally between june- august, bt the rest of months we have a lovely warm weather
She missed that Point....it's not usually cold
I see
Amazing shocks ❤❤
👍👍 the differences
We don’t use plastic or rubber bags, we use reusable bags which are easily disposable. We take care of our environment
When your audience is kenyan u got talk first coz no much time n patience
Ala I thought it was just me… kumbe it’s a Kenyan trait. I feel so relieved 😂 😂 Asante!
😂😂😂 so true
On buying carrier bags,some vendors will provide you with it depending on your purchase.
Okay. But in Ghana, you will get it for whatever you buy
What was surprising with Ghana is about burial if the person is dead while driving he will be made doing that while dead
Ohh okay😮😮
Its cold because you visited on the cold season. June -august is very cold. Other months is very Hot 🔥
I see
I am Kenyan and thoroughly ashamed of our cuisine or lack thereof. Thanks for being "diplomatic" about it lol....
You are welcome dear
This myth should be dismissed as soon as possible. Kenya has a variety of cuisine. Countless. Each tribe has their own meals
Luos- fried/fish stew, omena, aliya, traditional vegetables..
Luhyas- Chicken stew, traditional vegetables etc
Kisiis- Majorly matoke
Kambas- Muthokoi
Kikuyus- Mokimo
Kalenjin- mursik
Now these are just some few I've mentioned from each tribe. Remember we have over 48 tribes.
The business sector is the one that has failed us specifically the Nairobi's capital hotel industry. They haven't invested in such meals but only the generally eaten meals like ugali, rice, fish,meat and the western foods like fries,burgers etc hence this false idea that we don't have a lot of local cuisine. We actually do.
I've not even mentioned the street foods like mutura, smokies, kebabs, boiled eggs, smocha, etc etc.
We have alooot!!!

On the weather part, you got it wrong. In Nairobi we have seasons which are very sunny/hot at temperatures can be between 27-33 degrees. Especially around November to February. It’s so hot. If you travelled around june/July that is our cold season. The ac are used mostly on hot seasons. About food variety, we also have so much. You need to go to specific joints to take our delicacies. Am also guessing that your stay was short. But most welcome back again. Kenyans love visitors. Fun fact: we have restaurants that offer west African dishes like Mama Ashanti ni lavington(nairobi)
Ooh nice, I shall visit again 😊
