Good you finally visited Westlands,its a city within a city.... Past few years many multinationals have moved offices to this beautiful area just like in upper Hill ...Its cool and very organised. Years ago it was an exclusively Indian area just like its neighboring area Parklands.....Most top 5 star hotels are here, Kempinski and Movenpick too are in that area.....Very active suburb. Thanks Harriet for bringing our city to the world..
@@jabulanithema1467 in the tropics the rain can be too much and the covered drainage can cause floods on the roads, so we let our drainages be open. In the CBD we have underground drainage system that is higher than a human height for storm water drainage. You never notice that.

Architects conceptualize from forms, company brands or names. For example, if Oracle commissioned you to design a building for them, you would conceptualize specifically with ideas and concepts associated with Oracle. So mostly here, form follows brand. You can even use their logo as the form of the building
Private sector in kenya have done their part with the buildings, west world standard. The only thing lagging behind is lack of well paved roads, for pedestrians, lack of road markings and road crossings. The government lags behind very much. Some dirt roads in the middle of this rich neighborhood. And Nairobi is also pedestrian unfriendly.
That will be done as we move away from road destructive building to now developing model roads to serve build up neighbourhoods. Remember earth movers are not kind to roads
Hey Harriet, are you implying that Kampala is not as developed as Nairobi? I have always thought Kampala is actually more beautiful and developed than Nairobi but I could be wrong
Nairobi is massive and pretty developed! The government is a let down though. We need a proper public transit system, well maintained roads and pavements, more employment opportunities (meaning less vibandaskis and bodas).
Private sector have done it with the buildings, corrupt people in government cannot do pavements all over for pedestrians,roads markings and road crossings for people. The reason I don't love Nairobi is because it lacks pedestrian friendliness.

Let me just say wow! wow! wow!. Kenyans are doing an amazing job.
Harriet is adorable,mwakazi is a massive vibe.
make sure you also visit Uhuru Gardens
Great content, mwakazi is a good Kenyan guide. Try do a video on Nairobi nightlife
One thing i realized it is rare to find a pothole in Riverside, they have nice roads.
Westland looks so unkempt.
Road side kiosks, hawking & disorganized matatu/bodabodas are becoming an eyesore in this area. where is governor Sakaja ??
Harriet, as we say here in LA, "you killed it"!!---great content and videography
Thanks 🙏 dear
Great amazing places to cover within Westlands and its environs
You claim to have the sexiest legs!😂
Mwakazi the best your guide
Good content as usual Mwakazi is a very good tour guide, you cant finish covering westlands using a motor bike will help you cover more ground.
Cool, thanks!

Thanks for the info!
Amazing place and beautiful
Yes, thank you
Wow your doing great girl... You should also visit the Nairobi national park
Hi, Westlands is beautiful, with nice buildings, old and new. What I don't like is the open trench drainage system. Watching from South Africa.
It's open because it is not a sewer but a rain/floods drainage system.
Its not an open sewer like in some west African countries...
@@fellybilal in South Africa, evething is underground. That includes sewer and rain water drainage system, even in low income areas.

I’ll be there
Try and visit Konza and Tatu cities.
When will you do the express way from mlolongo to Westland
Very soon this week
Harriet is so beautiful Nairobi city Westland patel family business man Nairobi Kenya 😊
Mwakazi out here claiming to have the sexiest legs got me weak!😂
It's been a treat 💙
What about uhuru park
They usually know the name even before starting to build. Because they get the design and how the building will look after it's completed.
Very rich Look at the porshche cars
Very impressive video❤
Thank you! 🙂
Very nice vlog channel ❤
Thank you so much 😊
Waiting to view
Mwakazi the man✍✍✍😂
Westland could be new cbd,fast developing and organized too
I can see there new buildings coming up
show us uhuru park
After all the experiences in kenya we're waiting for culture shock sit down
Though you didn't cover the whole of Westland
I don't think Harriet has ever seen so many highrises and apartments. It's quite a stark contrast with Uganda. Enjoy our city and karibu
Wacha ufala 🤦♂️
Uko na umama nani
Me I like the Video ❤.
I'm glad you like it
Hey Harriet, are you implying that Kampala is not as developed as Nairobi? I have always thought Kampala is actually more beautiful and developed than Nairobi but I could be wrong
Nairobi is more developed
How can any knowledgeable person try to compare Nairobi and Kampala? Kampala is light years behind
We need to embrace closed drainage systems. The open drainage is not good. Then I wonder why we never recarpet our city streets and mark them.

😂
Olso there's another one opposite Yaya centre that looks like stairs you even passed it
Nairobi is big, showcase the whole city. Don't be one sided
