- I ride from Kabarnet to Iten, across the great African rift, in Kenya, in Africa.
On the way, I visit a beautiful gorge, and then I meet some lovely fruit sellers.

At 14:40, the entire avocado basket priced at 100 Kshs, which is less than a dollar 😮. Imagine someone still assumes that there are food shortages in Africa. While certain parts of Africa do face shortages, it's not due to a lack of food but rather poor distribution. There might be periods of natural challenges, which often are inevitable. But disparities exist, with some regions having an abundance but lacking connectivity to supply to those regions with less. What's essential is leadership prioritizing the comprehensive connection of Africa. A single high-quality avocado, like those in Norway, costs the equivalent of 400 Kshs. Kino, your videos contribute greatly to humanity, especially for Kenya; you dispel numerous myths about the country. Kenya seems safe, a bit developed, beautiful in all ways, and home to warm and friendly people.
Everything you say is 100% right.
The price of these avocados was indeed, mind-boggling. I was almost ashamed to pay 50 shillings for the 2 avocados, yet I was completely overpaying.
The distribution is, indeed, surely the main issue, and it's most likely because of the roads. The main roads are good, but there are still very few paved roads. Most secondary roads are still dirt roads.
Even the mangoes and the orange bunches go for a hundred.
Well said
To get that $1 is Avery hard.
I was also mesmerised by that basket of avocados. I wished it could come to Nairobi at twice the price.
I love how Kenyans are educated even deep in the villages. Kenyans also know how to treat visitors by not interfering too much but still holding a meaningful conversation
Just shouted "morning my friends" and my wife says I know what you are watching 😂😂😂,kino Yves very addictive ❤❤🇿🇲🇿🇲
😅😅😅
Same case to me, this guy is really addictive.
Each days i want to hear Morning my friends😂
Same... My wife "you watching that French dude again?"... Me "Yup"... 😂
“You’re wandering around the planet without kids and years are passing by.😂😂 We shall pray for you” the ladies were genuinely concerned.
😂😂
That's the Kenyan spirit right there they want to know why you wasting time without children...my fam gives me stress too😂
@@eunicewachera7709 same😂😂😂 Ata naitagwa tasa
@@user-cx8lf8rw8c😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂 it's an African thing.Loved the conversation.
One good thing about Kenya is that you can easily communicate with anyone even in the most remote villages.
Very true
And there is internet and electricity ❤❤
Literacy levels are high ....majority of Kenyans have basic education ❤❤
@@user-to4xx3rj1mThanks to the Kibaki and the Uhuru government.
@casscass11aawhat about the accent
@@Noah_Andres The accent is not perfect. Everyone has an accent especially if the language they're speaking is not their mother tongue. Even Yves has an accent bwana.
Those women looked like angels, and they also said they would pray for you... One of my favorite moments of your journey.
A child never starves when a woman is there... God's gift and a miracle. That's what it is to be a woman and a mother..
The best conversation since I started following Kino.
I am a high school teacher. Was surprised to learn that other teachers in our staffroom have been waiting for this episode very eagerly
Exactly so amazing 😍
Morning my friends, 😊 I've been waiting too for this new video, hope we'll enjoy your videos, and let's hope you're still in Kenya for long 😊
Name reminds me of some notorious facebook blogger from some years back. :D
Nduta, Where do you work?
@@Hobby_trails_family but why?
One of my favorite videos. Such a beautiful journey in this one. I have fallen in love with Kenya, especially its people.
Welcome to Kenya
"What do you want to achieve with this?? the local asked...and Yves replied"I just want to see the world, i dont know what else i want to achieve, i havent thought of it."
AND SIMPLY, PLAINLY THAT'S THE MEANING OF LIFE...
Wow! I think I have to vis😢kenya, this people are the happiest and accommodative moreover they can communicate in English I just love it
You're most welcome. Which country are you from?
when you get in Kenya done fear people interact with everyone
karibu
In Kenya it's a must to go to school
Kenya officials languages are English and swahili..most people are learned
The people are genuine at heart. I love them. Kenya will be my first travel destination for adventure. Magnificent video
Welcome to Kenya...Be careful though, you might not want to leave when you get here...Trust me, it's happened to so many foreigners 😊
Karibu Kenya....you.will be allocated Atieno or Njeri shortly...
Get Ur savings right ...then come
welcome to kenya sir
Don't mind settling in Dianni!
Someone has told you to put a kenyan flag within your trike,,, proud of my nation 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
Yea I would’ve gotten a Kenyan flag by now!
aki kenya tumebarikiwa, yaani matunda hiyo yote bei ya chini kabisa alafu watu wetu wako na bidii, proud of those beautiful hardworking ladys doing their every day hustle.
kuna siku nilisimama hapo Kolol, short story...nilirudi Bungoma with the car boot full of fruits for less than 1k.
Anyone who has not discovered this channel is seriously missing out. Should have 1 million+ subscribers by now.
Those women are so genuine. They are just working hard for their children.
The women were very genuine too saying they are praying for Kino have kids claiming he is late to start a family. In African when you reach thirty years you start getting pressure from your relatives.
very genuine prayers 😂 ...not having kids here is considered a bad omen@@marksirma7362
True
@@marksirma7362even earlier
LMAO at those women at 5:40 thinking it's a wheelchair and then Yves gets up and walks 🤣 🤣 🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
hallelujah! It's a miracle! :)
😂😂😂😂😂
Kenyans are genuinely curious and very welcoming. The road network all through has been impressive and the magical Kenya vibe of absolute natural beauty of our land speaks for itself.
I have realised through this videos just how safe our country is and awesome weather
And the literacy rate is quite high, like almost everyone in Kenya understands and speaks basic English ...tuko mbele mbele
Except Airbnb !!
I look forward myself to learn about my country South Africa.. I pray that he will be safe there and here.. Acts of criminality might spoil the fun, like it almost happened in Ethiopia where he was robbed at gun point somewhere there....
@@githice Sure noted that too
@@_Kipkorirwe will have to improve on that we can
Kenya ! the Journey , the Views , the People . Superb !!!🤩
Karibu Kenya
Kenya is a beautiful country and majority of the population seems learned their English is superb
Kenyans learn English from an early age. It may not be perfect but we communicate 😂
Have a safe trip down south africa
Not all
My Top 5:
5: The landscape - amazing
4: The boy you trained to run - lovely smile
3: Toss between the amazing gorge divers and the philosophical gentleman at the end
2: The guy who walks 37 kilometers to work every day!
1: The five amazing ladies who sell fruits. Between them they have 18 children - amazing!
what about the guy who asked real -deep questions
@@kennedychoge2775the guy who asked deep questions is very eloquent and good accent.
Wonderful summary of this episode. Very perceptive.
@@africanmandetraveler2847 That guy looks like a teacher or something
@@mwangi_mwangi that's what I was thinking.
Chamgei my people all the years i have lived with kalenjins and i love them so much very humble people when am done with work here in my motherland somaliland i want to go live there i just miss the peace and good people of kenya
May God bless kenya ❤❤
Kongoi
Enjoyed your conversation with the curious man at the end 👌
Kino has met so many foreigners living in Kenya.They just fell in love with our country.At times i just we Kenyans take so many things for granted not knowing how blessed we are as a country.
Love this man at the end, his mannerisms, his speech, his questions, so peaceful, calm and kind. Question: “So what do you want to achieve with the world” Absolutely brilliant..❤❤❤
I was looking for a comment that appreciates him. Really good to see the wide spectrum of Kenyans of goodwill 👌
@@husseinzki yes it's very refreshing to see such love and support from Human Beings for another Human Being. Yes that soul really stood out for me❤️
He might be mwalimu wa math
@@felixlimo3398 could you explain further?
Kenyans are nice and good people. May God bless Kenya and its people. I am saying this as a foreigner.
Welcome kenya ❤
29:43 The guy who is asking him questions is very eloquent and good accent.
From the accent as a Kenyan I can tell he is from the Luo tribe.
@@Okwash1He was my maths teacher in high school. He is a Kale
@@Noah_Andres Oh really, wow. He sounds a lot like a Luo. I think you also agree. Very eloquent guy.
@@Okwash1 I agree
@@Noah_AndresI suspected he is a teacher
I love the evolution from boring videos in Europe to now entertaining videos in Kenya 😂
"Na uweke bendera ya Kenya" had me😂😂
😂😂😂I have heard that too.
😂😂😂 but he has a point
😢😅😅😅
Uzalendo
Who said that 😂
It's all fun and games until he says he came from france on a bicycle... 😂
The reactions are always priceless.
I didnt want this video to end! The African Rift valley is absolutely mesmerizing. I also loved how inquisitive and perceptive the people are. The man you spoke to at the end elicited some good thoughts from you. Connection to family and land is of the utmost importance it seems. And although I understand that, the world wouldnt be the same without you and people like you, the modern Ibn Battutas!
I like to be compared to Ibn Battuta 😁
And yes, I like when people start to interview me, they make me say things I would not say otherwise.
Fantastic comment
Great episode. A lady offered a lemon for free and you asked why. That was a gesture of friendship in Africa so in case you don't want, you can still take and offer to someone else like guards at the lodges.
He thought life is giving him lemons
@@machariawarui6686😂 good one 👍
The hospitality of my motherland is just awesome...just for afew individuals
Its Marvellous being both social animal and wild animal .
Your interactions with folks is neither to impress nor to depress
My Keiyo people,so welcoming, beautiful and humble, you passed by my village by the way ! Karibu sana Keiyo, and Iten the town of Champions!
*Kerio Valley (not Kericho Valley)
He is famous probably because of the good internet connection and easy access in Kenya
Yea also wondered,a local man greeted u with both hands would a westerner greet a black person with such respect in Europe...😢
"Those hard days on the road are the most beautiful ones "~Kino Yves (French trike rider)
"Those hard days on the road are the most beautiful ones "(Kino Yves 29:30)
I can't believe how eagerly I waited for this episode. I was chatting with someone on the matatu and he mentioned you.
16:34 .."Your years are going and you don't have children" ....a genuine concern from a typical African mother 😀
The ladies selling the mangos and other fruit for their families are actually really cool. 😊
The guy at the end of the video was interesting. Very philosophical.
Kenya 🇰🇪 🇰🇪 is STUNNING!!!!
You have no idea
@@kikibrayo9436idea about what?
@@Noah_Andres the person is just agreeing with comment.
@@bliss252 I thought it was a negative comment like 'you have no idea of what you are saying'
@@Noah_Andres I guess it's possible, but usually it would mean "you have no idea just how stunning it is."
Fantastic Yves! By seeing the world, thousands of people are also seeing the world through your lenses. As one of your admirers said, “Keep going! Keep going!”
Indeed, me being Kenyan, about to relocate back to my home,in karicho. . Now I realize how beautiful it is and its people, my people. after racist America it is.
Saturday morning has become my favorite day of the week, you bring me joy and happiness to see you having fun with my people, you make me miss home. ❤️🇩🇪
Africa the beautiful and its innocent pure natural people, my heart cries out in joy and sadness when I see the child like innocence in the people…I keep wondering how humanity got here specially in the west and whether it’s natural evolving state ….I hope this is a learning experience for you and your followers & subscribers….remember at the end, nothing really matters we all are here for a very short time period …let us love each other regardless of your skin color, race, world view, status or what not
Even in the remotest parts of Kenya I realized so many people are following your channel,this a plus to you,when visited my village recently early this month I was surprised how many were marvelling about your journey
26:53 I’m willing to bet good money that this guy is either a teacher, a pastor or a career adviser😂! He has that distinct demeanor about him with his searching questions.
yeah I'm willing to bet on that too😂😂
High school counseling or something
Oh you saw him,thats a cre teacher
@@sweetbirthy2008 “cre teacher” - what is that?
@@lul3jonsome one said he was my math teacher two comments above yours he's kalenjin 😊
Advantage of Kenya is that no language barrier you can either use kiswahili or English language even in remote villages
Mwalimu wa math na maswali mzito mzito hapo mwisho.
wallahi mwalimu wa mathafu huyo
😂😂
Bro mi mpka nmepicture kidogo aseme "Hypotenuse angle" 😂
😂😂
was thinking the same 100% a teacher, 80% sure its a math teacher
The older white guy only said “we live here” when kino asked him where he is from…it’s like “this is home” lol. I like the way Kino enjoys all food
Somebody need to note how Kenya has good road network. from the time Yves entered Kenya, upto Iten so far, good roads are so visible. That, in its own way, is something to be proud of as Kenyans.
unless the northeastern counties left the chat 😂
It would be awesome if Yves uploads two videos every week, we love them.
This life Kino lives is just incredible ....freedom exploration also making money out of it is just wow...this is just amazing.....once again good morning my friends ...may the journey continue ❤️
Folks, it's true that the Great Rift Valley starts in Lebanon in the Middle East and ends in Mozambique in Southern Africa. But it's at it's most visible, dranatic and spectacular in Kenya.
I love you Yves you remind us to appreciate life in a simple way..The views were impressive!! Iam so inspired this year am going to have an good vacation around Kenya(native). thank you for documenting all this moments here. Iam your biggest fan. Go Yves!! You can do this bro!!
Passed this road countless of times going to school and still yet the views are very breathtaking. Thank you Kino Yves for showcasing the Great Rift with its beautiful people.
27:39 the guy asking questions is very calm and composed 😊
Rift Valley and the Kalenjin people are very calm, honest, kind people
OOH yes i am proud of myself
Hapo kwa honest😂
That diver took your 500 faster than aviator,.., pheeeeeew flew away 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Wao❤
That man greeted you with respect at 20:31
Holding his rigjt hand with the left
I too noticed that
I also it's very hard to explain it to Westerners. It's the equivalent of a Japanese bow.
Part of my Saturday routine to watch your progress.
I am in love with kenyan people .the fact that they can fluently talk english weven in the villages..this is bravoh!
@4:50 The Underground Honey is from Stingless African bees! The small bee species make a colony underground! Natively, they are called "Kusumek" in that Region!
Very good to know thank you for that information. I am Kipsigiss and never heard of Underground honey
Hey Yves,
Out of the many many towns and cities you have passed through are there some with unforgettable memories?When ever you call them like "I am going to Iten" and when they are your target destinations after a though journey,the feeling I always get is as if those towns are the center of the world!This is part of the joy and adventure of travelling with you!...From the comfort of my seat ofcourse!!😁
You need to do a special series also!
Although every single one is special, it will give us to re-visit the stories again!!
Cheers, brother!
You need to get rewarded for this beautiful free advertisement of Kenya's beautiful scenery and people. Good to see safe country and very eloquent people even in the most remote places 👏🏼👏🏼
It needles me that as African (South African), I can't do what he is doing.. I would be darn scared as if other Africans would eat me up...
Hey Yve, The man who asked you what you plan to achieve at the end was brilliant. Perhaps you should ask yourself that question everyday. I believe you can achieve much more than seeing how the world is and showing others on youtube. Just think about it bro. All the best in your journey.
Really those beautiful hustlers ladies are very beautiful and humble and honest and i wish u promote them with some to support their family and amazing talks with them,,❤
Why should he support them and their families? Is it merely because he is a "mzungu,"? He is hustling too This mentality should be laid to rest.
@@rang3688exactly. He cannot support the whole country. What people don’t understand is that he’s a traveler and not a missionary
Two crucial points from home of champions,
1.family
2.acheivement
Cheploch Gorge. There are some guys that went from diving there to the best universities in the US to winning the Olympics and Diamond League. Historical ground that one. Home of great athletes.
Not many people know about the Great RiftValley. You have educated people about this phenomenon of nature - a God made fissure - that extends from Lebanon to Mozambique
Thank you.. Where can one learn further about this?
The cradle of humanity, the literal birthplace of humans and our deepest ancestors.
@@dochere-bolelwangGoogle the great rifty valley
The best learning would be to plan a trip to a country that it passes through rather than reading on the internet. I would recommend Kenya although I know the other countries have geological places of relevance for this.
I agree.. I am working on visiting Ethiopia first.. I believe the kind of an excursion here, requires a great deal of researching and preparation..
And that's just how Yves got to be so popular in Kenya, and we love you 😍😍
you must have felt that uplands air is way far fresher than urban areas...such a great de tour... surprisingly you didn't meet guys racing on bicycles ... they're so common on that route.
that change of direction from Nakuru turned to be the best to you yves
Indeed
Miaka inaenda "years are going"😂😂😂😂😂😂
Plaisir de vous suivre depuis l'Algérie.. bonne route dans cet attrayant safari.
The conversation at the end of video, quite interesting.Safe journey 👍Btw Kenya looks so nice and people are welcoming, got to go some day.
Yves, vous êtes vraiment UNIQUE ET AIMABLE, TRES SOCIABLE . BRAVOOOOOO
I like how Yve appreciates the views, the nature, the food and drinks
I will no longer leave my hair lying about. Thank you ladies!
In my opinion, the kind of love Kenya has shown you is immeasurable , you should revisit or even settle here
The channel should be named "Morning my Friends"❤
You love Kenya, Kenya loves you. There's too much to explore, especially with the different cultures.
Man the roads are so good
M. Kino, votre voyage au Kenya semble plus intéressant et amusant. Vous avez été heureux tout au long, à l'exception des deux ou quelques incidents où les choses ont mal tourné.
You sum it up so well:
“That’s what life is about … Those hard days on the road, are the most beautiful ones!” ~Kino Yves, Iten, 2024.
Thank you for showing the beauty of Kenya. What an epic adventure!
That gentleman at the end must be a teacher...insightful nonetheless
I thought he's miguna with that accent 😂😂
God save you ,man
We are discovering Africa through your journey ❤
Maybe I will meet you in uganda ❤❤
Another Saturday, another great adventure with kino. Apparently I am a Kenyan who is yet to travel as much you in my own country.
That was an in-depth and good interview
I always love your interactions with the people.. through your videos i have love and appreciate my country KENYA 🇰🇪 More
Our boy Yves has seen my country more than most of us Kenyans.
MERCI. FOR showing us the beauty of africa and its people. you are a good man..
na uweke bendera ya kenya..sawa?
sawa
lol that small exchange was hilarious
I love my Kenyan people we good even in the village we can communicate in English ❤❤️👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 and we are friendliest people ❤
You’re very brave Yves. I worry about you trying to travel all the way to Cape Town. Be careful especially in South Africa. It’s dangerous there. I will be in Zimbabwe and Botswana soon. Maybe I’ll see you on the road.
Sure.
I fear south Africa for insecurity and xeno....
Anyway, he has been through worse places including Syria and Lebanon where ideologies differ but he safe.
he wont enjoy SA with that mindset. you just have to be careful like in any other country.
yes that's is true
@@Hobby_trails_family I love how protective South Africans are when anyone criticizes the country for being crime ridden. I think those so quick to defend South Africa are either dependent on tourist dollars or the criminals themselves. Recently read an article
on the high rate of rapes and murders in South Africa and the rise in private security in SA because of the low apprehension rate of these criminals by SA police. Stop criticizing people for calling out the bad behavior and do something to rid the country of high crimes.
Some parts of the Kenyan riftvalley are also not so safe
I spent every minute in the last 7 days waiting for this video.my family loves you Kino yves ❤
Always eager for saturdays just to see your journey and progress..wish i was watching you twice a week 😂😂nevertheless its always worth the wait👍🇰🇪
Vous nous faites du bien ! Ça redonne foi en la nature humaine !
Kino has traversed Kenya more than I have
I like how in Kenyas people are so friendly
26:45 that man is like a proffesser 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉,,, good English
Seeing you in my home county makes me crazy homesick but also it brings back amazing memories and for this thank you 🙏🏿❤️
