I started primary school in Nairobi - down by the airport in the 1950s. We lived in Kenton Camp - the married quarters. Looks like that has gone and this modern suburb has evolved. A sign of Kenya's growth. But the old corn fields are gone. Nice to see the river still passes by - we used to play in that.
Asante sana. I lived in Kile from 2012-15 Laikipia Gardens on Oloitoktok, not far from Valley Arcade. My wife is from there. I don't recognise many of the buildings but the infrastructure is well kept up. It was already good back then but the traffic looks much denser now. We'll leave Europe and retire in a couple of years in Ruiru which is better suited for us older folks. 😅
No wonder the sewerage system & the water company cannot serve this estate adequately....... Because the area population has grown exponentially but the services provided have not changed with the times.
Oloitokotok is in Kileleshwa, you actually never left Kileleshwa. The upcoming construction you were asking about is mixed use apartments and shops. It’s called Covo.
Ooh my God! Kileleshuwa has really changed! What?! I lived all my teen ages and my 20's in Kileleshuwa ( Othaya Road) and then Kilimani near Yaya Shopping Centre (at Chania Apartments). However, I can not recognise Kileleshuwa at all. Except the Police Station and some part of Othaya Street. Ooooh..... It looks a concretes jungle , lost its serenity and specious Family homes with private gardens and swimming pools. It is sad.
Yeah, it's really changed as a whole from Riara Road all the way to Riverside. I'm also born and raised until my 20s when I left for Rongai, and when I go back I always wonder where kids play
Minute 4:56 - I stayed in this area for 2 months while visiting Nairobi. Very calm and people were very helpful. The clinic over there is very well run as well.
I lived as a kid on Makueni Road 1973 to 1976. Government houses with compound. Now the place is full of apartments. I can barely recognize the place now.
Nice video, but having so many tall buildings and single lane roads, congested compouds is evidence of failed planning. Emergencies are almost impossible to sort out in such an area
And some useless fellows are still living in a reversible state of mind .ati watu hawana future ohh everything is bad, economic is bad.people should learn to work and avoid politicians.
The problem is not narrow roads, it's too many private cars. Nairobi needs to focus on improving public transport. Especially we need bus lanes, so busses don't get stuck in traffic. If the busses are safe additionally, more people will take the bus, which is much more efficient and less polluting. "A developed country is not a place where the poor have cars. It's where the rich use public transportation."
I lived in Kileleshwa in 1973-1976...Thanks for the updated tour!
Kileleshwa has changed a lot. It is no longer as prestigious as when we grew up. Watching from Switzerland. Keep up the good work Dolphine
Appreciate your hard work of showing us abroad how Kenya is progressing. Watching from the UK 🇬🇧
Thanks and stay tuned for more

Thanks for your feedback 🙏🏾
I visited family living in Kileleshwa in the mid 90’s. I must say, I can never recall seeing a single high rise building. How times have changed

Kilelesha is beautiful I'm loving it
God bless the work of your hands 🙏🙏
Thank you so much 😀
Dolphine good job girl, all the best from UK🇬🇧, kenyan roots💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪

Yes...Kilimani area coming up in my next video..I didn't want this video to be so long...thanks for your feedback 🙏🏾
My home, Tabere Crescent Area❤
It's been 8 years since i left Kile. Wow!!! the place is amazing and beautiful. Happy to see Holy Trinity Church😊

I concur . Right to proper abode has been abused in this country. Real should not have been prioritized either in the 2000s
Kenya kileleshwa
I lived in kileleshwa from 2013 to 2016. I barely recognize the places 😮
Great video, thank you. How fast Kileleshwa is changing.
New subscriber. Thank you for showing us in the diaspora what is available in Nairobi. Would love to see the inside of some of these units! 😊
Residences houses are many there and are nice looking
Watching from lusaka zambia ❤❤❤
Thanks
You are doing such an incredible job. I would highly suggest showcasing some of these apartments in your channel❤

Watching from Germany 🇩🇪
What ,!!!!!Kileleshwa was one of those leafy suburbs quite ,green umbwa Kali etc things have really changed
I know the area of Saguta in Kelelashwa, I think that's the name of the place where I stayed.
Keep up the good work!
I am watching from Belgium, Brussels.
Thank you
Good job. Next time invest in motorcycle safety; helmet, reflective jackets and avoid rider distraction
You are right
I can barely recognize the Kileleshwa I knew when growing up. Weh!. Sad.
Competing in building tall buildings.That sure is a sign
It's enough now... this is why water shortage is experienced every now and then
New here❤❤
I think boda can also do well as a vloger
True 👍🏽
Best vlogger I've ever seen
Thank you for loving my work
10:59 You asked … So, this is Covo Square (Apartments and commercial shopping centre) nearing completion
Thank you so much...I didn't have an idea 😃
Nice video, but having so many tall buildings and single lane roads, congested compouds is evidence of failed planning. Emergencies are almost impossible to sort out in such an area
The Kileleshwa of Otoyo Obambla wa Vioja Mahakamani is long gone. People rarely boast about living in those areas.
And some useless fellows are still living in a reversible state of mind .ati watu hawana future ohh everything is bad, economic is bad.people should learn to work and avoid politicians.
U have a point that place is a clear indication kenya is real developing so fast
You cannot police people's thoughts, even a little baby in Kenya knows that the economy is in shambles.
@@berylotieno276poor people always think how stutions is bad and rich minds take advantage of that moment.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Am following u from Toronto canada ❤
Thank you 🙏🏾
Whats the contact of the Tour Guide boda boda guy?
Your content is more fire😂❤
Thank you 🙏🏾
am just worried of our narrow roads.
I believe something will be done
