Let's journey together!
After you watch the video, please take time to read the short essay in the description box, it captures in a nutshell the glory of Nairobi was in the 70's to mid 80's before a precipitous decline in the 90's which it is yet to recover from.
I actually did before I watched. He describes it beautifully. It took me to the place and time. We lived in the upper hill area in the early 80s and we used to visit friends that lived in Buruburu.
Hi. Big fan of your content, absolutely love it.
When you did the buruburu bit you said next you would do Jericho. If you are still planning on doing it please holla at me. I have lived my entire life in eastlands and I would like to show you around Jericho from a resident perspective
Born and raised In Buru, My parents moved there in 1978 they still live there😊
Same here...back in the 90s
Is it a nice place. It looks very developed.
@@MrRklewis Well, back in the 90s, it was the coolest neighborhood in Nairobi. Things are different now though. Not as cool..
Watching from the UK. Precious memories. We all had to live in Buru them days! Nairobi has truly grown. My fav city in the whole world. I love the Kenyan style of music too! Keep showing us our beloved nation. Show us more please as some of us are itching to come back to the motherland.
My memories of Buru go back when that land was just part of the national park..from Jericho we could see kilima mbogo,mt kenya and ngong hills..
Wow
You can't see mt kenya...why are you lying?
For those who were born and lived in Buruburu know how beautiful this estate was, to me it’s still beautiful. We have to be thankful for the estate groups/home associations that have really protected Buruburu from proliferations of unplanned structures. The old and new inhabitants appreciate a planned estate, and every time I come home I love it. It’s not perfect due to age but it looks lovely. Jericho and other estates nearby are still intact, the curse of umoja and pipeline estates hasn’t befallen them. You are right about the nganyas, Buru was the thing, man the 23s came in first-anyone remember “pure pains”series,the music system was setup vizuri. When I am home I take the quiet Mathee’s, the days of boom twaff ziliisha. Those drone shots are lovely, and you gave us 8mins of Buru. Let’s just say some of my relas and friends bado wako buru. Thank you boss afrikan.
Reading your story about life growing up in Nairobi brought back memories of my own childhood in Zimbabwe.
Thank you ❤️🙏🌍
You most welcome.
Burukyln.Buru buru home sweet home.Born,raised in buru.A safe place.I enjoyed everybit.only the Burukyln's understands💖👍. niko Obama land miaka mob.Bado Napenda mtaani Bless🙏
Thanks.
still a nice mtaa
Had some of my best childhood times in Buru Buru around 1991/1992. I stayed at Maperesha court in phase 5. What a wonderful time it was!! We had this matatu #58 named Shadow, it reined for quite sometime.
@Roblox Suubi, Wow I was just about to talk about hiyo matatu Route 58 Shadow, that mat was dope. I remember it very well. Even matatu za Route 9 Eastleigh zilikuwa noma sana. Remember Poison!
Lol I remember that Matt shadow it was purple in colour😅😅 Aleki was the driver.
Also late 90s to early 2000s there was a cool mat called Drama
@Roblox Suubi....Hapo sasa.Memories💖.#Shadow, Eternity, immaculate Love, &Chicago sprinter which was my late brother's May His soul rest in eternal peace.
Home sweet Home.
GOD Bless.💞
@@joynya1246 i think it was a family bizness coz even drama he is the one who used to manage n harlem.
As soon as I saw Buru I went straight to the comment section 😂. Former resident from late 80s to mid 90s. Went to Shepherd's Junior in phase 2. Childhood memories.
Same here....the same period..
This video evokes great memories for those of us born and raised in Nairobi. From the late 70's to 80's estates such as Buru Buru, Nairobi West, South C, South B, Langata etc were the sh*t back then. This is where the emerging middle class aspired to buy, own and raise their families.
I grew up in Buru from 80s and 90s...only heard about South C in the early 2000s.
In Buru the best thing is that its self sufficient in that if they were to shut off Phase 1-5 it will sustain itself,there being play parks,schools,library,shopping centres,banks,fast food joints kina kfc and the houses are all mostly 1 storey with so not much congestion of people, front and back gardens plus water is pretty much reliable!
I first visited Buruburu in 1987. Straight from the village. I was amazed by the beauty
Wow! Must have been the best in Eastlands by then.
Yes love Buruburu' can't wait to vsist again
Yes buru used to look so good before the concrete and extension fashion there was a nice garden front and back,we had playgrounds before the land was grabbed.
Cheers for taking us through the view' I miss Buruburu' I use to live their in 2002 n studies at Nairobi river primary school 'stayed a bit in Jericho as well as my late Auntie use to live thier but she moved to Buruburu ' then I moved to nyayo estate where I lived while I was in Maseno Boarding school before living Kenya..miss kenya 'I wonder how Jericho looks now coz it's been 15 years n over since I was there. But I was in Buruburu in 2015 staying with my Auntie during my visit then stayed in Rongai from late 2015 to 2017 . During my visit back n forth 'miss them places' can't wait to vsist..please go to Jericho I want to see how it looks like .
I had a lot of friends from Jericho most of them moved to the states and are doing so well.
@@maxi4693 oh yeah' know 2 people who are in uk . I wish to visit m see what has changed
My relatives were born and raised in Buru 😊 it's such a beautiful place to live in Nairobi 🇰🇪🇨🇴❤💯
Buruburu!!! This is where I was born and raised. Phase 1 big numbers, huko chini karibu na Outering. Ulisahau kumention mat za 58. Us 23 folks had a big rivalry with them! 23 was always the better choice! Hehe!! Juicy Gossip, Bafana Bafana, LL Cool J, Rigs, Remix (Touchdown)!! Thanks @Afrikan Traveler for all your videos.
Good job. But umeshoot a very short video. Ungeenda through some of the courts and shopping center kiasi.Watu wa buru wako wengi hapa😊
I think he did a deservice to buru
Back in the day if someone in my HS said he was from buruburu, they were considered super wealthy. Today if you said the same thing, hakuna tofauti na kuishi kayole. What a shame for lack of regulations.
To young nonsensical people to older people its a huge difference if you own the property because even though it might not be prestigious the property value is high
@@janendegwa5462 makes no sense to live in a place just bcz of value & there is no security. Most people who lived in buruburu in the good old days moved out to safer neighborhoods
that's a lot of exageration. Buru may have lost some of it's former glory but it's nowhwere near Kayole. It's still a controlled development estate
It doesn't matter. I'd rather stay in 1960 than 58. Buruburu is ghetto & filthy.
@@yerfillinois8254 😆 when was the last time you visited Buru?
Ai John umenifurahisha sana bro, Buru, and Donholm used to be my stomping ground back in the day's joe. It was still very nice even in the 90s before I left Kenya. I don't recognize any place. Good job bro.
These aerial views are wonderful!
Thank you Sam.
What a great video. I lived in Phase 1 from 2007 to 2010, Buru was my intro and warm welcome to Kenya, i loved it and loved the great & genuine people everywhere, has a big place in my heart. Much love and respect from Mombasa
Just a quick thought for some of the locations a quick interview with a veteran resident in the area could add some spice.....
Yeah, connection ndio sina. If I get would definitely go back.
@@AfrikanTraveller true ask the great viewers if the channel
@@AfrikanTraveller Nitafute when you're around Buru, I can see you missed a lot on the ground, from Phase 1, Outering, and the real Phase 2 and 3 estates. Can info you about Jericho as well. Grew up in Buru. Was impressed by your *Doonholm* video show.

@@AfrikanTraveller 📱👍🏾
This is good job Afrikan Traveller
Thank you.
Correction, Afrikan traveller. Sheng originated from ziwani,kaloleni,majengo estates
Kabisa wanted to comment on that.
Then it migrated to Jeri, Jerusa, Maka and Umo. Buru was the very last place to speak Sheng circa 1975.
@@martoking we muislando halisi😁
watu wa farova na salem ,jeri,na okongo
It still looks good just needs residents to plant more vegetation
Point of correction .buru matatu was no 58. 23 was for outering and buru face one.
Siku hizi 58 zinakuja mpaka phase one 23 ni salem
@@veronnanjero1269 thanks. But I was referring to those days .not nowadays 🙏
Yep, It was 58 only.
hear for some inspiration Before i go create content for an estate in South Africa. great to Learn about Buruburu
Born and raised, I could literally see our court in your aerial shots. Hapo Buru Phase III. Sadly we had to move out in the early 2000's. Brings back memories.
Same here...Buru was hood until early 2000s. It's not the same anymore. 😒
Born in phase one 1981 ,i saw phase 5 extension being built from scratch, i could see greenfields , umoja 2 being built and komarock,we explored the whole of eastlands 15 boys at age 8 ..i still have the blue prints ,of even dandora estate.
Ungeingia kwa one of those courts bana
I was born in Buru in the early 80s.... was then a middle class estate and we would feel offended when our teachers in primo predicted it will one day turn into a slum. Sad to see how much it has gone downhill.
Inner cities huturn na kuwa hivyo
Haiya, The teachers could see. What were guys doing?
@@AfrikanTraveller History lesson:. The 1980s saw the introduction of SAPs (structural adjustment program) or austerity. This was also the beginning of the decline of the Moi error. There was hardly any investment in social programs, housing etc after this period.☹️
Ala! Kweli we went to the same primoh? 😂😂
@@AfrikanTraveller well... uncontrolled and unplanned extensions. Grabbing sidewalks, lack of maintenance (eg roads) there were empty fields in and between the courts which hardly exist anymore just to name a few. Local government during Moi era was super corrupt.
Nice, reminds me of old good memories.
I moved from ol’kalou to buruburu, so that place hold special memories for me in the 90’s before relocating majuu. I have never been back but I hear it has changed, I need to revisit.
You will be depressed. I went back after almost 17 yrs majuu. I couldn't recognize the place.
@@salmki5882 woi thanks, I remember it used to be really posh.
@@hannahw4769 these days they built sidewalks almost everywhere in Buru , and the roads are mostly good, it’s only the houses that are old, it’s also quite clean compared to other eastlands areas
Watching this now. I grew up in Buruburu phase 1 in the early 80's before moving to Western. Wow big Big developments. Good one👍👍
Wow! You must have lot's of memories of this area.
do interview with moha graphics ,og matatu designer
Great Suggestion.

I remember Buru/ Buruburu estate
Partly grew up in Buru phase 5. I also remember matatu no 58, from Bury phase 2 to town and no 23 through Buru phase 1 from outer ring. BURU 👍 good memories when I was growing up in those days.
My in-laws live practically around the corner from that church.
Wow!!! You gat somuch stories to tell from this sides.
@@AfrikanTraveller Yeah, just a kidogo here and there.
Good 2 see buru it's been a long time, I wish u could have gone in depth i.e a broad video of the place buru 12345... Anyway good 2 see buru again long time, big up and thank u 4 the wonderful vida... Was best 😀👏 born and raised.
Another Nice video Asanteni sana Bro.
Moved there in 1980 and moved out in 1988. Phase 4 no 604 Buru Buru 2 (Bidii) primo, EAST church. Great memories
Amazing view...born in buru buru moved out in 1981 wow looks different
BuruBuru should start a neighborhood association if they haven’t done so already. Then they need to maintain the houses as original as possible. In 100 years those houses will be worth millions but originality has to be maintained.
Very good my brother once again I'am with you and your wife in Buruburu a very Beautiful city thanks love to the family.
Thank you Brother
I lived in Buru in the 80s , actually 82 to 90. I went to Harambee Primary school my name is Grace Kabuye the last house I remember was In phase 5 number 366.my boy crush was Peter Murwa I think.give me history.will be glad to hear from you.
Great content AT, if you find time kindly take us to Michuki Park.
Another great video bro. Memories down lane. Yes I remember Buruburu very well back in the late 80's early 90's. The estate is a pale shadow of its self but still looks good. The matatu route 58 were dope. Does anyone remember matatu moja called Shadow plying route 58! Thanks bro as always I love your videos. Actually I requested you to show this estate.
Savvana is part of the overall Donholm area...
Old Doni,Sunrise,Greenfield,Springfield, Greenspan,harambee sacco,phase 5g,phase 8,jacaranda... That is what makes doni
Went to primary in Buru buru one but was not from that hood,was from k-south,so i had to dodge people saa ya home time while walking to sao...watu wa eastlando walikua wana treat buru ka majuu
Appreciating the video & the music at the start, kinda wishing it was Nazizi's track though
THANK YOU FOR THE NICE MEMORIES
Thanks guys for the work you are doing. Keep it up.
Thank you.

@@lameckodhiambo3372 very good news, thanks for the update.
Awesome video, it evokes nostalgic and fond memories. My family moved in back in 1980 (ph.4), I recall the houses were newly built, picket fences with wooden gates. Each court had a children's playground. In hindsight it was a very well planned Estate before the proliferation of extensions.
In the mid 80s, Prince Charles paid a visit, it was part of his tour of Commonwealth Dev. Corp (CDC) aided projects. The residents and kids from nearby schools all lined up by the shopping center to welcome him.
Crown Paints ran an ad campaign back then where they'd paint houses along the main road, with different paint colors.
I loved growing up in Buru.
Home sweet home.
Respect to you my man always, love your content ever
Buru buru was originally built by the queen of England,as late as 1985,she used to make surprise visits to owners.
They're doing the same in Tatu City (Unity Homes) and pledged another $80m on housing alone. Kind of cooperation we need.
love this video,but correction,sheng is from jeri,salem ,okongo,mahadu,shauri,then ,D ,,Buru was ma babi no sheng there,lol
a great job bro... may God multiply your blessings
Old south b was also amazing...plains view..golden gate..mugoya...kayaba....etc........
Nairobi has really changed overtime.
Quickmart is growing so quick soon it gonna overtake Naivas
Wana kam tekee sana, on every corner. Hope they would be careful to avoid the mistakes other guys did.

Hope they won't go belly up like Nakumatt and Tuskys 🙄
Buruburu is slowly becoming an Umoja so sad...
23 were the hot mats back then and 14 was a close 2nd. Then 44 took over before 125 destroyed everyone 😁
Hahaha just love how the game keeps changing.
Eastleigh...
It used to be No 9 (Easteliegh), followed by No 58 (Buru) then No 23 (Outering). Ronga and the rest ni wa juzi
Yes, Eastleigh were trend setters e.g first to put DSTV dish on a mat amongst others ...
but hata 32 D ilikua ,lol
Awesome as always. Hope the next one is Garden Estate Rosters area.
Huko niwewe utanishow around.
Plz do something on Mwale city which has a modern Hosp, it is in Butere subcounty, Kakamega county.plz
Born and Bred.
Memories beyond memories.
In terms of Matatu back in the days it was eastleigh #9 and buru #58
@Michael Ogolla Yes, actually Eastleigh had better mat that #58, remember mat called Poison kwa route 9!
That music made me really miss Nairobi. A city I was born in and will die in.
Alot has changed especially the Nganya. Back in 90s-99 i used to work in a Baite Matatu Called MOTOWN. it was one of the best back then.
Wow nice drone shoots

Unlocking the zone to fly on this area is so tricky since you have two flight paths for planes. Wilson and MAB.
It's high time to tear down those buildings and replace them with planned skyscrapers. This will free up a lot of land to be left as green areas and too, accommodating so many people in the Kenya ever growing population, at the same time solving housing problem. Planning is the key.
They are already doing that to older government-owned houses. More than 15,000 will go down in Eastlands before Uhuru leaves office paving way for over 60k units
Nice shots, though short and shallow details.
The church is CITAM Buruburu. It's in phase 5 Nziu court.
That's
not Citam, Citam is behind the Church of Christ
BuruBuru did not give rise to Sheng.....that would be the Old eastlands estates of Makongeni Kaloleni Jericho etc...Buru is a very recent estate ..70s
