Wow! Nairobi is so beautiful and food looks really yummy 😋. Also nice to see Bank of India 🇮🇳 in the CBD of Nairobi city. Giraffe 🦒 centre, Nairobi National Park , Masai Mara and Mombasa are on my bucket list. Cheers from Mumbai India 🇮🇳 👍.
Wow, this is crazy. I stayed in that very same Airbnb my 1st time in Nairobi in Nov 2020. It's in Ngara Flats near the CBD. The host is the coolest. That six floor stair climb tho was no joke. The rooftop ,one level up was quite awesome. Beautiful views. There were multiple restaurants downstairs with tasty cheap food. I was paying 250 to 300 KS for dinners ( US$1 = 103 KS). And a major supermarket Chanderama ( I think) waa walking distance away. Got all my groceries and produce there. Loved the space. That corner window view was awesome. I was being a digital Nomad and had great internet. The host remains my friend today. Great nemories. Bless up.
@@JasonBillamTravel YES she sure is. I took her advice and went to the Ngong Hills. Same hills on her whatsapp pic. Beautiful views from up there and close enough to the city. I can't wait to return as there is so much i didn't do while there. The powdery white sand beaches of the Indian Ocean in Mombasa and Diani was a great experience as well. But the Masai Maara you are planning to visit is something I never got to do also. Beautiful country. Enjoy.
Thank you for showing Kenya 🇰🇪 .... I always happen to see Asia, Europe and elsewhere but less of Africa places.. Thanks again & btw Nairobi is such a beautiful city... I was delighted to see bank of india at @9.45 . With love from India. 🇮🇳
Interesting video, Jason! I didn't expect this luxury to be honest. I went to the Gambia back in 2016, but Nairobi is so much more modern than I expected.
Sadly I was in the same boat until I visited both TZ and Kenya, and I came away humbled by the beauty of the countries and their dwellings among many other things. Thanx to vloggers the whole world is being revealed and many surprises unfold.
I think this video doesn't give the full picture. One guy is was streaming there few days ago. Locals started following him everywhere he went and approached aggressively. One of them demanded him to remove videos he was filming. Police was called and police demanded bribe or they would put him into a jail.
I love how you've showcased my country's capital, everything and how real it is on ground. I would recommend to have a tour guide because there are so many places you ought to have seen and of course, for your safety.
Hoping to visit Kenya withing the next 2 years! This video really helped me to get accustomed! Jason, you're the BEST. Also, glad to read in the comments that people are saying the Giraffes are well taken care of at the Giraffe Center! And the 'snack' feeding is okay for them!
I met jason today February 15th 2022 in lighthouse mombasa while he was filming street foods, he is such a great guy and very respectful…. I always liked his videos and I am one of his early subscribers…..kenya is a nice place to visit….please go to somalia too you will loved it .
Karibu Kenya, I reside in Manchester, UK, but I am from Lamu Island, Kenya. You should visit Lamu Island, you will have good experience, you will like it.

The Giraffes in Giraffe center are the same ones found at Giraffe Manor(Most Instagramed hotel in Africa) which is right next and costs a whooping 1000$ a night. The giraffes graze in the wilderness where they are free to roam around but can also visit the center to get treats from visitors. The pellets consists of dry grass and molasses which is not harmful to the giraffes ,the pellets are also very tiny and easily consumable to the giraffes. You went on a good day and it seems there were quite lot of giraffes around, sometimes it might just be 2 or 3 that come around. The traditional vegetables you took are called Managu in Kiswahili or African nightshade, they are quite common in East Africa and are very nutritious. After Maasai Mara remember to include Diani,Malindi ,Watamu,Mombasa,Lamu into your trip and show the amazing beaches Africa has to offer.

Hi Jason, Great video as always. Thank you. While in Kenya, reach out to RUclipsr with the channel 'Afrikan Traveller' in Nairobi. He is great at collaborations and showing other RUclipsrs around some of the local sites (including those that might pleasantly surprise you and your viewers. I am already your subscriber). He may even help you with doing drone shots for your videos. He is very friendly and helpful. Tell him I recommended that you contact him (I don't get paid for this). Do check out, among other diverse attractions and features of Kenya, the amazing beauty and relaxing verdant expanses of Kenya's tea farms (tea is their main export). And by all means, sample some of Kenya's locally packaged tea (I am finishing my first cup of the day of a great Kenyan tea brand). Best wishes.
Wow 😮, that is the beauty of Nairobi. It feels amazing to see you people coming to Africa by yourselves rather than just viewing it from the TV. With our green city under the sun, Nairobi becoming modernized and growing on and on. We really love the changing phase. I really feel like that uber driver charged you more over that 25 minutes drive
As a white guy from northern europe - I think that price for the taxi was very cheap compared to what I usually give. Often the starting price is 8$ just when you enter the taxi and for a 25 minute drive? 40-50$ easily. And its not to brag about me being rich, because I cant even afford those prices 🥲
Ugali, especially brown, can be quite boring if you're eating it for the first time. What you eat and where you eat in Kenya will be determined a lot by who your guide is. I appreciate your positive energy. Welcome to Kenya.
The brown ugali versio from Kisii region is nourishing and 100 percent organic. Try it someday with vegetables and goat or beef stew and kachumbari (coleslaw). You'll love it.
Love the quality of your work. Kenya surely is a wonderful country, I have no doubt you going to enjoy your stay there. After watching your video Exploring Riyad, Saudi Arabia I started following you & I must say your videos are very informative and fun to watch at the same time.
Jason! My mom and I love your videos so much! I really hope you haven't left Nairobi yet. I would love to you give a tour of the areas around the outskirts of Nairobi that we love. I'm gonna cry if you've left! I hope you enjoyed your stay.
@@cjayw Hello! The places I was referring to are Ngong Hills, Kisamis, Pipeline(Kiserian) and Isinya in Kajiado county. Three of these places offer beautiful scenery for afternoon drives. I wouldn't say they are popular destinations for locals as we mostly go on drives in the area. A car or knowledge of the public transport routes is necessary for these areas. Is it your first time is Nairobi? I would recommend Ngong Hills for a Saturday hike. This one is quite popular with locals and it is really scenic and refreshing. I recommend going to the KICC rooftop for views of Nairobi . I go at least once every year and it is nice to relax(though windy) for maybe an hour. If you like thrifting, there is an open air market on Ngong Road called Toi market. My last trip was a few days ago. I really enjoy picking out really cute second hand items- It would be nice if you go with someone who knows the area. Lastly, I recently visited the David Sheldrick wildlife trust for orphan elephants and it was so lovely. The calves are so cute! I really enjoyed watching them feed and playing. I think there are a lot hidden gems here and there. It would depend on your travel preferences. Some more places I like are- Karen Blixen Museum, MovenPick the View restaurant(for the night view) and corner Baridi(lovely sunset at the end of the ngong hills) and if you do get a chance, go on a circuit drive in the outskirts of Nairobi(this could be my favourite thing to do) For places that locals visit, I am not quite sure I would represent a lot people. I feel like the place I encounter a lot of Nairobians is in shopping malls over the weekend. I really hope you enjoy your stay here. Welcome to Nairobi!
@@alycewangari Oh my goodness, this is so thorough and helpful. I like to do pretty much everything you mentioned. 🥰I am going to see about arranging time at most, if not all of what is mentioned. This is greatly appreciated. 🤗🤗🤗🤗 And yes, it's my first time in Nairobi! I'm so excited!
Wow This is so amazing.. Holiday season is coming I challenge you to visit Tanzania Serengeti, Tarangire , trekking Kilimanjaro , Ngorongoro conversational area and Zanzibar we can accommodate you a Safari karibu sana!
@@alvaroproverbios7841 welcome, I promise you you'll love the kenyan experience, our official language is English and kiswahili. We got local languages as well.
For some reason, I've been skipping this video whenever RUclips recommends it to me for months. And now that I've finally watched it, turns out, this is actually a very very good video. Nice job, Jason.
Thanks Jason for lifting our country to the world. I really pity myself seeing you guys (esp -foreigners) visiting Giraffe center before me yet i stay within that area.
Jason, once you arrived, how did you locate a tour guide or how did you pre-arrange a guide? I'm traveling form the United States and don't want a formal tour or Safari. You seemed comfortable exploring the city with your camera. I've heard contrary stories. I also understand the rainy season is from April through June. How bad is the rain during this season. I'm also concerned about malaria, the rain brings mosquitos? Is it not a good time to come to Nairobi. I plan to arrive in May, 2022. I also plan to stay at an Airbnb, in the Parklands district, any suggestions or recommendations you extend is greatly appreciated. I've been putting this trip off for a couple of years because of Covid. My friends and doctor tell me to, throw caution to the wind, and just go. I've had all vaccinations including booster. I need help with my trip details. I'm a solo leisure traveler on a budget and appreciate any help/assistance you extend. Thank you for your very information videos. Please respond.
Mostly are RUclipsrs or youtuber subscribers/any social media follower. Be careful when picking a tour guard (he/she should be sincere not a mean/greedy )
Jason....Nairobi's huge....U missed Westlands, the real downtown and Places like Gikomba ...the place u called downtown around Jamia is the Central Business District....Downtown is way tooo busy and crowded. Anyway Jay....hope u had a nice time here....all the best in your travels.
KARIBU Kenya...If you would like to visit remote villages out of town to experience a bit of Cultural practices then I will be glad to take you around.
Amazing! You did your research about places. You'd pass for a Nairobian. By the ay you describe places, one would thinks you have been here for a long time. Welcome to Kenya. Your tour has triggered an awakening to start exploring places.
I hit the like button on your videos even before viewing them which is how confident that I’ll enjoy them. A full proof system as I’ve never been let down.
You're a good blogger. You've decided to go the small local restaurant that's where you get genuine local cuisine. Many bloggers who come to Kenya only try out food in big restaurant chains and in those places you don't really get the unadulterated Kenyan cuisine.
first time visitor! I was looking for just this very thing to check out Nairobi after reading a news story lol Anyway...THANK YOU! I thoroughly enjoyed my Nairobi tour, you are a great, articulate guide. Safe travels my new youtube friend! #likedandsubscribed
Thanks Jason. Welcome to Africa! I think the giraffes have a proper meal provided by the park which is a combination of the giraffes themselves browsing on the acacia trees within the park & some pre-prepared meals to supplement the not-so-great browsing. I imagine that there are not enough trees or bushes within the park to sustain them. The tourists only provided some tidbits to entice the giraffes to come closer to the fence-line & interact with the visitors. Is that good or ethical? I am not sure either but similar things are done in some zoos around the world. Wish you safe & memorable travelling.
@@JasonBillamTravel - hakuna-matata & you're welcome. PS: if after a while, you start NOT liking the Kenyan & East-Central-Southern African standard meal component known in Kenya as "ugaali", don't worry. Many Africans find it too stodgy too. People eat it because it is the cheapest thing that provides the poor with enough carbohydrates to make them feel full for a bit longer than the fancier & more expensive options. I heard that there are some good & cheap "Ethiopian restaurants" in Nairobi. So, something a bit different to try. Good Luck.
Thank you for filming our capital city so well. Be careful not to film government buildings and military installations it could get you into trouble. Good luck on your journeys! Subscribed.
Absolutely great videos ! Your content is very well organized overall . The emotion you want to express appears as it is . I can see in this video what makes someone happy to watch . Keep upload more videos . Hope to see you around and be connected . Thanks for sharing Have a great day !
Maasai market is very cool. Your tour guide was lovely. The CBD filming is no joke it is highly forbidden. Thank you for sharing the beautiful city of Nairobi.
Am a Luhya Kenyan based in the UK. The first item on the menu, the Luhya chicken and flying ants are cuisines from my region. Karibu Kenya and enjoy. 👌🏽
welcome to kenya next time you visit kindly get a professional tour guide otherwise you will get disappointed from parklands to yaya centre then to town thats a long trip with back and forth parklands to CBD then Giraffe later makes more sense Karibu Kenya. anyone visiting kenya will be more delighted to be your guide
What would you say is your best experience so far? Nairobi by far is the best developed city in East Africa. I would be curious to hear what your overall take is on it is.
As a westerner living for several years in Nairobi I can tell you tcat KPLC ( Kenya power and Electric Company ) is faster to fix powercuts than in europe
Hi Jason. Good work dude. Just one question, how do you go about meeting locals to show you around in advance? I'd like to be able to do this when I start travelling. Thanks in advance
Thanks for the video, Jason,My 2cts take on the ethical view on giraffes is at least they have a choice of top grazing the acacia treetops in an open surrounding over controlled zoo scenario. We all know ,ost big animals will eat all they can get! Don't think I tire watching giraffes from the first time we saw them there in 1987,the orphanage lives on!! Kudos KWS!
I have a really depressive life. If i die, I would like to be born again as a travel blogger and live life to the fullest the way these guys are doing it.
If you had asked at the giraffe centre you would have been told that the tourist pellets are not the giraffes' only food at that centre. They are free to roam and eat as much as they want. They come back for the treats cos it tastes good. The giraffe treats are more for the tourists pleasure than they are for the animals satisfaction.
Just going on the visual , I think the green colored vegetable with your meal would be what we call in the Southern U.S. "collard greens" or " mustard greens". They are similar to spinach but not as pungent as cooked spinach. US Southerners cook them in bacon grease or ham hocks to provide flavoring. It's also great to add a little salt , pepper and vinegar to taste at the table as everyone emphasizes one of those three seasonings over the other. Some also put a slice or two of boiled egg in them. They are a great compliment to pinto beans (soup).
No they are not collard greens, its a local veges although the collard greens are the most common and are eaten even day hence called (Sukuma wiki) in swahili
From NJ and Kenya..yes collard greens are a must in the menu for USA southern soul cooking and is usually cooked with ham,pork .in Kenya we call the greens kale or sukuma siki.. push the week.. when the family is on a low budget!
Hi, can I ask what month you were in Kenya? I'm planning to visit early next year and your videos give a better understanding for someone not living in Kenya.

Brits have no fear! They're go anywhere regardless if they're the minority, not just islands. The food looks good. Much respect. Cheers mate. 🙌🏾
They really do have fear. They’re literally afraid of minorities in their own country (well some of them at least) 😂😂😂
Hi Jason, Great video as always. Thank you. While in Kenya, reach out to RUclipsr with the channel 'Afrikan Traveller' in Nairobi. He is great at collaborations and showing other RUclipsrs around some of the local sites (including those that might pleasantly surprise you and your viewers. I am already your subscriber). He may even help you with doing drone shots for your videos. He is very friendly and helpful. Tell him I recommended that you contact him (I don't get paid for this).
Do check out, among other diverse attractions and features of Kenya, the amazing beauty and relaxing verdant expanses of Kenya's tea farms (tea is their main export). And by all means, sample some of Kenya's locally packaged tea (I am finishing my first cup of the day of a great Kenyan tea brand). Best wishes.
Very True he should link up with Afrikan Traveller.

Wow... The journey begins, waiting for your videos now part of my life. This going to be fabulous. All Best Wishes 💕
Thanks, lots more to come!
Wow 😮, that is the beauty of Nairobi. It feels amazing to see you people coming to Africa by yourselves rather than just viewing it from the TV. With our green city under the sun, Nairobi becoming modernized and growing on and on. We really love the changing phase.
I really feel like that uber driver charged you more over that 25 minutes drive
A white is definitely rich😂😂
The rates are determined by the app
As a white guy from northern europe - I think that price for the taxi was very cheap compared to what I usually give. Often the starting price is 8$ just when you enter the taxi and for a 25 minute drive? 40-50$ easily.
And its not to brag about me being rich, because I cant even afford those prices 🥲
Ugali, especially brown, can be quite boring if you're eating it for the first time. What you eat and where you eat in Kenya will be determined a lot by who your guide is. I appreciate your positive energy. Welcome to Kenya.
The brown ugali versio from Kisii region is nourishing and 100 percent organic. Try it someday with vegetables and goat or beef stew and kachumbari (coleslaw). You'll love it.
yet another great entertaining video from Jason.Thank you and love from Cambridge England
One day you must explain how is possible that in every country you go, you know so many beautiful girls!
Use tinder and Instagram
I like your beard 😉, I can't wait to visit Niarobi this year. Love from 🇳🇬
Kenya greatest country in the world 🌎
Kenya iyo Somalia hanoolaadan
Really ?? 😂
Love the quality of your work. Kenya surely is a wonderful country, I have no doubt you going to enjoy your stay there. After watching your video Exploring Riyad, Saudi Arabia I started following you & I must say your videos are very informative and fun to watch at the same time.
That’s great to hear!
Welcome 😍 Kenya is a beautiful country ,
This is my home town ❤️
Jason! My mom and I love your videos so much! I really hope you haven't left Nairobi yet. I would love to you give a tour of the areas around the outskirts of Nairobi that we love. I'm gonna cry if you've left! I hope you enjoyed your stay.
Hi there! What are the places called? I'll be visiting next month and I'd love to see areas that the locals visit.
@@cjayw Hello! The places I was referring to are Ngong Hills, Kisamis, Pipeline(Kiserian) and Isinya in Kajiado county. Three of these places offer beautiful scenery for afternoon drives. I wouldn't say they are popular destinations for locals as we mostly go on drives in the area. A car or knowledge of the public transport routes is necessary for these areas. Is it your first time is Nairobi? I would recommend Ngong Hills for a Saturday hike. This one is quite popular with locals and it is really scenic and refreshing. I recommend going to the KICC rooftop for views of Nairobi . I go at least once every year and it is nice to relax(though windy) for maybe an hour. If you like thrifting, there is an open air market on Ngong Road called Toi market. My last trip was a few days ago. I really enjoy picking out really cute second hand items- It would be nice if you go with someone who knows the area. Lastly, I recently visited the David Sheldrick wildlife trust for orphan elephants and it was so lovely. The calves are so cute! I really enjoyed watching them feed and playing. I think there are a lot hidden gems here and there. It would depend on your travel preferences. Some more places I like are- Karen Blixen Museum, MovenPick the View restaurant(for the night view) and corner Baridi(lovely sunset at the end of the ngong hills) and if you do get a chance, go on a circuit drive in the outskirts of Nairobi(this could be my favourite thing to do) For places that locals visit, I am not quite sure I would represent a lot people. I feel like the place I encounter a lot of Nairobians is in shopping malls over the weekend. I really hope you enjoy your stay here. Welcome to Nairobi!
@@alycewangari Oh my goodness, this is so thorough and helpful. I like to do pretty much everything you mentioned. 🥰I am going to see about arranging time at most, if not all of what is mentioned. This is greatly appreciated. 🤗🤗🤗🤗 And yes, it's my first time in Nairobi! I'm so excited!
@@cjayw I'm glad to hear it helped. Karibu Nairobi.
Wow This is so amazing.. Holiday season is coming I challenge you to visit Tanzania Serengeti, Tarangire , trekking Kilimanjaro , Ngorongoro conversational area and Zanzibar
we can accommodate you a Safari karibu sana!
Tive oportunidade de conhecer este país incrível! Simplesmente amei!
Diz me como é, e a língua oficial, vou para lá o próximo mês, sou missionário
@@alvaroproverbios7841 welcome, I promise you you'll love the kenyan experience, our official language is English and kiswahili. We got local languages as well.
For some reason, I've been skipping this video whenever RUclips recommends it to me for months. And now that I've finally watched it, turns out, this is actually a very very good video. Nice job, Jason.
Thanks Jason for lifting our country to the world.
I really pity myself seeing you guys (esp -foreigners) visiting Giraffe center before me yet i stay within that area.
Wow?
@@irenedavo3768 yea
Why have you not visited?
@@wanjaucharity2720 🤑🤑🤑
Thanks for showcasing my country....... point of correction, the giraffes are in the rescue centre, once they're okay, they're taken back to the wild.
Jason, once you arrived, how did you locate a tour guide or how did you pre-arrange a guide? I'm traveling form the United States and don't want a formal tour or Safari. You seemed comfortable exploring the city with your camera. I've heard contrary stories. I also understand the rainy season is from April through June. How bad is the rain during this season. I'm also concerned about malaria, the rain brings mosquitos? Is it not a good time to come to Nairobi. I plan to arrive in May, 2022. I also plan to stay at an Airbnb, in the Parklands district, any suggestions or recommendations you extend is greatly appreciated. I've been putting this trip off for a couple of years because of Covid. My friends and doctor tell me to, throw caution to the wind, and just go. I've had all vaccinations including booster. I need help with my trip details. I'm a solo leisure traveler on a budget and appreciate any help/assistance you extend. Thank you for your very information videos. Please respond.
I would be your guide if you're coming to Kenya
I will offer to take you around for free. Am in Nairobi
@@lucywanaks8341 🤣🤣🤣tunawajua nyinyi
Mostly are RUclipsrs or youtuber subscribers/any social media follower. Be careful when picking a tour guard (he/she should be sincere not a mean/greedy )
@@lucywanaks8341 Lucy, please give me your contact information in Nairobi, Kenya.
Jason....Nairobi's huge....U missed Westlands, the real downtown and Places like Gikomba ...the place u called downtown around Jamia is the Central Business District....Downtown is way tooo busy and crowded. Anyway Jay....hope u had a nice time here....all the best in your travels.
The most relaxing voice on RUclips , I love your videos 🙌
Thanks Richell
Also the guy from "Authentic traveling" is American and his voice is very very relaxing 🤤
Fascinating and informative. Planning to go to Kenya next year. This video will help.
KARIBU Kenya...If you would like to visit remote villages out of town to experience a bit of Cultural practices then I will be glad to take you around.
Love AFRICA from INDIA.
You looks so cute sweetie 🌹
Amazing! You did your research about places. You'd pass for a Nairobian. By the ay you describe places, one would thinks you have been here for a long time. Welcome to Kenya. Your tour has triggered an awakening to start exploring places.
what i love kenya is the people
Thank you for sharing your love!
I hear this a lot...as a Kenyan I say thank you!
I hit the like button on your videos even before viewing them which is how confident that I’ll enjoy them. A full proof system as I’ve never been let down.
You're a good blogger. You've decided to go the small local restaurant that's where you get genuine local cuisine. Many bloggers who come to Kenya only try out food in big restaurant chains and in those places you don't really get the unadulterated Kenyan cuisine.
first time visitor! I was looking for just this very thing to check out Nairobi after reading a news story lol
Anyway...THANK YOU! I thoroughly enjoyed my Nairobi tour, you are a great, articulate guide.
Safe travels my new youtube friend!

Ayo I agree with yo hakuna matata having ass ma dawg
Great Video! Thanks. Just a quick question: is this shot on cell phone or camera?
Thanks Jason. Welcome to Africa! I think the giraffes have a proper meal provided by the park which is a combination of the giraffes themselves browsing on the acacia trees within the park & some pre-prepared meals to supplement the not-so-great browsing. I imagine that there are not enough trees or bushes within the park to sustain them. The tourists only provided some tidbits to entice the giraffes to come closer to the fence-line & interact with the visitors. Is that good or ethical? I am not sure either but similar things are done in some zoos around the world. Wish you safe & memorable travelling.
Thanks for that - makes it seem a bit more understandable.
@@JasonBillamTravel - hakuna-matata & you're welcome. PS: if after a while, you start NOT liking the Kenyan & East-Central-Southern African standard meal component known in Kenya as "ugaali", don't worry. Many Africans find it too stodgy too. People eat it because it is the cheapest thing that provides the poor with enough carbohydrates to make them feel full for a bit longer than the fancier & more expensive options. I heard that there are some good & cheap "Ethiopian restaurants" in Nairobi. So, something a bit different to try. Good Luck.
Nairobi is definetly on myyyyy list!!!! I cant wait to go there!!
welcome ul not regret
Thank you for filming our capital city so well. Be careful not to film government buildings and military installations it could get you into trouble. Good luck on your journeys! Subscribed.
Love KENYA from INDIA.
Absolutely great videos ! Your content is very well organized overall . The emotion you want to express appears as it is . I can see in this video what makes someone happy to watch . Keep upload more videos . Hope to see you around and be connected . Thanks for sharing Have a great day !
The giraffes feed on the leaves of trees. Those pellets that people feed them are like snacks. So it's not unethical.
Great video presentation, Jason Billam! Keep up the good work!
The veggies you ate are called managu! Nice video by the way
Thanks for clearing that up!
Maasai market is very cool. Your tour guide was lovely. The CBD filming is no joke it is highly forbidden. Thank you for sharing the beautiful city of Nairobi.
Am a Luhya Kenyan based in the UK. The first item on the menu, the Luhya chicken and flying ants are cuisines from my region. Karibu Kenya and enjoy. 👌🏽
I hope I'll have a chance to try the flying termites later on!
Kumbe kumbe 🥲🥵delicious 😋

welcome to kenya next time you visit kindly get a professional tour guide otherwise you will get disappointed from parklands to yaya centre then to town thats a long trip with back and forth parklands to CBD then Giraffe later makes more sense Karibu Kenya. anyone visiting kenya will be more delighted to be your guide
What would you say is your best experience so far? Nairobi by far is the best developed city in East Africa. I would be curious to hear what your overall take is on it is.
In Nairobi it would have to be visiting a coffee farm (included in the next video).
@@JasonBillamTravel Excellent!
As a westerner living for several years in Nairobi I can tell you tcat KPLC ( Kenya power and Electric Company ) is faster to fix powercuts than in europe
Hi Jason. Good work dude. Just one question, how do you go about meeting locals to show you around in advance? I'd like to be able to do this when I start travelling. Thanks in advance
If you gonna visit Kenya, try a guy by the name African traveler on RUclips to show you around nairobi.
Thanks for the video, Jason,My 2cts take on the ethical view on giraffes is at least they have a choice of top grazing the acacia treetops in an open surrounding over controlled zoo scenario. We all know ,ost big animals will eat all they can get! Don't think I tire watching giraffes from the first time we saw them there in 1987,the orphanage lives on!! Kudos KWS!
I have a really depressive life. If i die, I would like to be born again as a travel blogger and live life to the fullest the way these guys are doing it.
Love and light your way 🤗
You can still do it my friend, if you are able to move . Start in your locality
Just start from somewhere we will subscribe
@@miriamondigo6970 thank you

If you had asked at the giraffe centre you would have been told that the tourist pellets are not the giraffes' only food at that centre. They are free to roam and eat as much as they want. They come back for the treats cos it tastes good. The giraffe treats are more for the tourists pleasure than they are for the animals satisfaction.

@@terrybaker8156 thank you Terry
Am a Zambian youTuber and I must say Welcome to Africa! I wish you a nice and happy stay! I hope to meet you in Zambia? just next door to Kenya?
Thank you man. Not on this trip but maybe for the next time I’m in Africa I’ll keep it in mind!
Just going on the visual , I think the green colored vegetable with your meal would be what we call in the Southern U.S. "collard greens" or " mustard greens". They are similar to spinach but not as pungent as cooked spinach. US Southerners cook them in bacon grease or ham hocks to provide flavoring. It's also great to add a little salt , pepper and vinegar to taste at the table as everyone emphasizes one of those three seasonings over the other. Some also put a slice or two of boiled egg in them. They are a great compliment to pinto beans (soup).
No they are not collard greens, its a local veges although the collard greens are the most common and are eaten even day hence called (Sukuma wiki) in swahili
@@davludi2612 thanks for the clarification and sharing your insight...✅
The greens might be kale (we call them Sukuma Wiki in Swahili).
@@davludi2612 you are right. They are Sukuma Wiki (Kales)
From NJ and Kenya..yes collard greens are a must in the menu for USA southern soul cooking and is usually cooked with ham,pork .in Kenya we call the greens kale or sukuma siki.. push the week.. when the family is on a low budget!
Actually...you needed a better guide
Thank you for showing off our country
