I'm from Europe I'm planning to relocate to East Africa I have visited Kenya , Tanzania and Uganda, my husband and I decided that we would like to settle in Nairobi, so next year we are planning to move to Nairobi., but our final destination will be either Nanyuki or Nakuru.
From Tanzania here!!! I have lived in both cities but currently in Dar es Salaam!!! There is a big difference between Kenya and Tanzania economically, culturally, politically, geographically etc and each country has it's significance and potential depending on the lifestyle you would like to live!!! I will start economically Kenya is leading and you can thrive there because people in Kenya especially Nairobi like to spend unlike People in Dar es Salaam but you have to be very smart in business in Kenya unless you focus on manufacturing and agribusiness!!!you have to outsmart the Somalis and kikuyus in Nairobi!!! Culturally, Tanzania 🇹🇿 is a multicultural country with 120tribes+ but interestingly we all speak Swahili as our national language anywhere in Tanzania.. politically, Tanzania 🇹🇿 is more conservative with socialist ideologies but it's a mixed economy compared to Kenya which is a capitalistic and mixed economy as well...The advantage of reallocating in Kenya is that you can have a dual citizenship and be able to own properties unlike Tanzania 🇹🇿 you have to be an investor to own properties as a foreigner and no dual citizenship... Geographically, Tanzania 🇹🇿 is better than Kenya boardered by almost all countries in East Africa with an exception of South Sudan. In Tourism Tanzania 🇹🇿 has more tourist attractions than Kenya and a wide range of wild life, islands (Zanzibar, Pemba and Mafia) , great lakes ( Tanganyika, Nyassa, Victoria)..Arable land, if you are interested in Agribusiness or agriculture Tanzania has good Arable land than Kenya!!! Talking about the two cities Nairobi suites more Western life and it's favorable for Americans and Europeans..Dar es Salaam is somewhat conservative it suits Asians, Arabs.. Generally if you want to experience the true African life you will opt Tanzania 🇹🇿 but for a way modern Life you will opt Kenya
Dar es salam is slow like Mombasa and should be compared to mOmbasa.Nairobi is way ahead .And no when it comes to tourism Kenya is way better and has always been .Kenya is the only country in Africa and probably the whole world with a national park in Nairobi city ,that is the first thing that makes Nairobi kenya very very unique.Kenya Nairobi has been voted as the best home of expats by the expats because it has everything one roof .You can’t compare Kenya to Tanzania it’s incomparable maybe Tanzania and Uganda.

Nairobi is where youtube channels come to grow. So you're in the right place. Just keep showing us your experiences and it's a sure bet you'll grow exponentially!
Lived in Baltimore for over 20 years. Seeing and hearing you guys talk takes me right back to America. Travel to Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Nakuru and Eldoret to get the real feel of Kenya.
This was the reason I went to both countries to compare and see what was best for me. I went to Nairobi and zanzibar. I would love to live in Zanzibar but my husband would prefer Nairobi. I really loved Nairobi but it was a bit expensive where we were. I can tell we could afford to live there but you will have to be on your game. In Zanzibar I could relax more and we did so much more there.
You can easily live even on less than $1500 per person in Nairobi if you know how to do it. For example instead of getting a furnished apartment that goes for $1000 like most expats like to do, you can get an unfurnished apartment of the same standard for $500 and buy the furniture yourself
This is great 👍🏽, love how you did this: short, concise, clear. We’ve never been to Kenya so we’re looking forward to a visit. Blessings 👋🏽 Asante sana
I love your respect for both cities.. Nairobi and Dar...both have fantastic weathers to embrace . Nairobi is more geared to the Western world but Dar is a reminder of who we are ....East Africans.😊
Thank you for sharing your take on both countries. May the Most High continue to bless, protect and guide your family as you travel the 🌎 globe. Give Thanks!!
I think the best place to compare Dar with in Kenya is the coast. Mombasa has similar swahili foods interms if quantity and flavour, they have lots of street foods too. Nairobi is more business oriented and fast paced, no wonder it feels more westernized.
Mombasa also has better Italian food than Nairobi and lots of traditional street food. Plus Nairobi has a lot of ethnic food from different cultures like Luo or Kikuyu- and also Ethiopian and Nigerian. You definitely need to get a local guide.
You will notice a significant increase in your viewership and subscription if you keep giving us more content on Kenya. Please consider filming more and sharing videos of your activities
@@mpendakiswahili3053 Kuna hii kitu inaitwa utalii.....sijui kama umeiskia...? Sasa hawa wakichocha vile Kenya kumeweza , wenzao wote hawataenda SA ama Zanzibar ama Botswana...itabidi wameingia kanairo , watuletee hizo ma dolare..
I wish I would’ve met you all while my family was In Nairobi. We just returned to the US from Nairobi and Dar ES Salaam to decide which location would be best for us. We loved Nairobi more as well and will more than likely be there permanently next year!!
Awesome. We made a similar scouting trip a few years ago. We've been in Nairobi over a year now. Still loving it. There's a huge expat community. The black expats group is made up of solid and mature brothers and sisters. There are so many neighborhoods with different vibes, economic requirements and housing options. Give yourself time to explore when you return before you settle. Also, got to say, we luv our Kenyan brothers and sisters.
Nairobi has a similar history with New York City, USA. Both are melting pots of immigrants & hence the cosmopolitan diversified cultures. Nairobi tends to be more expensive because it has to import & meet locally the needs of all races...in Foods, Fashion, Entertainment, Hospitality, Medical..etc. The expatriate population in Kenya is also huge.
What about the price of unga, you are demonstrate every where in Nairobi kwa sima hahahaha😂😂😂 sima babaa 😂😂, any way wish you the best price iende chini mle sima
Am Tanzanian I have been to both cities I strongly agree with you guys. Dar es salaam is lagging behind to Nairobi in terms of development and modernisation of the city
I think more points will go to Nairobi when you stay a little longer here. As for food, the best comparison to Dar would be the coastal cuisine in Mombasa, Kwale , Kilifi and Lamu. Fantastic meals come out of that part of Kenya. But you are right, when it comes to international cuisines Nbi is King.
You are pretty accurate about the two cities, I am from Nairobi, have visited Dar and have loved it more. And yes, living in Nairobi feels like anywhere in the West
During the last administration in Kenya the focus was more on improving both our roads and our SGR train system. It makes sense when compared to Tanzania or Nai vs Dar.
This is usually the default weather in Nairobi, it's cool most times of the year generally because Nairobi is located on high altitude. Although it does get hot from December to February
Good insights about Dar and Nbo 👌 For starters, Nbo is "The Green City in the Sun" and it lives to its moniker. Greenery and open spaces is a hallmark. Nairobi's healthy moderate weather is a great relief and suits everyone's preferences. Currently it's the long rainy season till mid May, thereafter Kenyan"winter" sets in June to August...which is pretty cold for the standard tropical climate. All in all, as we say here, breakfast in Nairobi,dinner in New York/London or breakfast in Dubai,lunch in Nairobi... that's how it's easily accessible and with easy finds of anything conceivable under the sun. Enjoy NBO ❤
Loving your vlog and assessment of the two incredibly beautiful east African cities, each has it's own diversity and culinary differences. Asanteni sana 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
@@FREEDOMCHASERSLIFE I didn't know about you guys until recently. I live in Nairobi. Somehow your videos keeps popping when I go to youtube. Now i will have to check all your videos from the beginning
Both countries have their own unique charm. As for food you have to have a guide who can take you "off the beaten track" to experience local food. There are magnificent scenery in both countries. You need to visit Zanzibar, off the Tanzanian coast, visit Malindi,, Lamu, the Great Rift Valley, Kenya....experience some traditional/history culture..
Nairobi has the best Roads in East Africa Region. I was there in 2018 and was very surprised how the city is developed. I’m sure now in 2023 Nairobi has made a lot of developments.
I'm looking at places on the continent to retire with modern amenities, and Johannesburg has been #1 so far, but after stumbling on this channel, I think Nairobi would fit my lifestyle as well! Did you see any high rise apartments near the mall mentioned? I'm an older single lady, and would like to stay somewhere walkable to grocery, shopping, etc. Love the content; if you keep this up, you'll be at 5k subs in no time!
Yes there are high rise apartment’s literally in the mall, also every where around the city. There is usually many stores within a 5 minute proximity of high rise apartments.
Great comparison....you however can explore more for lower prices ...there are other markets less luxurious than the village market that can suit a tighter budget
For amazing Kenyan dishes try Nyama Mama in Capital Centre, Kilimanjaro Jamia along Kimathi Street, Amaica Restaurant in Westlands, Traveller's Restaurant along Mama Ngina Street, Nyama Mama Delta in Westlands. Kenyan dishes to try: nyama choma(bbq) with ugali, chapati with beef stew, pilau, beef/chicken biriani, traditional mukimo, tilapia with ugali, etc.. Street foods to try: smokie pasua, mutura, smokie chapo, mshikaki, etc.
I have visited Kenya but I fell in love with Nanyuki , this is where we plan to settle. I went to Kisumu, Eld, Mombasa,Nakuru and Nanyuki. So our pick was Nanyuki or Nakuru. Mombasa was too warm for us.
You cannot Compare that village of Mombasa with Dar Es Salaam City. Unless you never travelled and you dont even know Dr es Salaam other that watching on youtube..
@@tanzanite9944 I have lived in dar for ten years I have many friends in Dar so I know what am talking about.Dar is closely compared to Mombasa than Nairobi it is a travesty to even think Dar can be Nairobi because Tanzania has a long way to go .
I came back to finish watching the video! I started in the morning but had to get back to work. Okay ya'll I loooved this one! I'm about to rewatch when hubby comes home. He's from 🇹🇿 Tanzania. I'm so happy to see yall are comfortable in Africa and are loving it!
From the comments,i would say i have nothing else to add.Welcome to Kenya guys.Enjoy your time here and give us your honest reviews.Your channel will grow that is for sure.Kenyans love hearing foreigner's perspective of Kenya lol then once they leave most won't keep watching unless youré very likeable.True story.But i promise you won't want to leave.❤❤
I love you guys. Congolese citizen, residing in Johannesburg South Africa. I have been in Nairobi and in Dar. If it was to start a new life in one off those two cities, I would prefer Nairobi. Nawapenda Wabongo, Ndafika watembelea mu siku kidogo 🇨🇩🇿🇦
What part of town are you all in? Nairobi is big and varied. Local foods are available in a number of places. Nairobi is definitely more expensive, especially housing; but there are so many options. Didn’t mention the broader use of English in Nairobi.
@@FREEDOMCHASERSLIFE We don't really have a food culture here and foreigners have never loved our foods. Not even our neighbours love our foods. But we still take pride in our ugali... that's the food that's taking us to the streets.
I think next time compare cities which are in the the same geographical position e.g Nairobi and Kigali or for the coastal like Dar and Mombasa. But overall I liked your content🙌🏿💯 Keep up with the efforts👏🏾👍🏾
Snacks to try Chevda is a must try Flavoured baobabs Achari ( dried flavoured mangoes) Bajia/viazi karai/with tamarind sauce n chillie Casava/nduma crips Ground nuts
I am a Tanzanian and i agree with you 100%, another problem for foreigners here in Tanzania is language burrier , We love our National Language i mean We love swahili language, myself i learnt English on the RUclips just to communicate , lakini Karibuni saana Tanzania , tunawapenda na kuthamini mchango wenu na maoni yenu
I feel like you should have been to multiple food spots in Dar es Salaam to experience the International feel, because there are so many and are rated way better than Capetown Fish Market...😊
Nairobi weather is cool. After the rains its our mini winter season. From june to mid august . Then sunshine for 2 and half months then end of the yr rains till feb . March sunshine April to may rains then mid june winter colds of kenya.
Love you guys man, appreciate you and trying join the diaspora back home. 2024 in amerikkka is about to be crazy. The solar eclipse on March 8th Yudah is awake blessings APTTMHYAH💪🏾👑✊🏿
Hello brother and hello sister. I hope your stay is okay and enjoyable. I do interviews and I do videos about Black Americans coming to Africa, Ghana, Tanzania, Kenya , Gambia. I am currently in Kenya at the moment. Would you mind to have an interview sometime in this month.
I'M glad I found your channel. What a darling couple you are! I'm looking forward to watching your other videos. DID you have to take a COVID shot to go there?
I am Kenyan, currently living in The Netherlands, never been to Tanzania but I 💯 agree with your review. The best place to compare Dar to is Mombasa and Nairobi to Dodoma. But it doesn't matter, Nairobi will still be the best 😄. You've just earned yourself a loyal subscriber. Good stuff! 💪
He he, every RUclipsr seeking to grow their channels comes to Nairobi, I see you. Fast WiFi very affordable here, we like watching vlogs. By the way, for the weather? It is going to get so cold from June.
Nairobi has everything, it's the only city in the world that has game park within. You can see giraffes, Buffaloes and lions while in your hotel rooms. If you have binoculars ie. 🤞
5:25 Great local restaurants: 1. Tulips Restaurant, Kileleshwa have the best nyama choma 2. K'Osewe Ranalo Foods, downtown Nairobi make a fantastic Fish & Ugali (try the brown ugali), 3. swahili Plate - authentic, delicious dishes from the Coast (Mombasa, Malindi, Diani etc)
Wow! Nice comparison of Dar & Nairobi. However, in terms of the climatic conditions, Nairobi is about 1500 metres above sea level, and obviously cooler than Dar.
Hi, this is the first time I'm watching your content and I'm finding it very interesting. As for the topic for the video, one thing I'd love to point out is that Nairobi is a UN city, so that means it is home to a lot of foreign diplomats from more countries than Dar. Also Nairobi is home to regional HQ or HQ of many multinationals. So these two factors exposes Nairobi to more global influences compared to Dar. Also, these two factors makes the city more expensive than Dar. I just thought I'd point that out. Otherwise enjoy your stay in Kenya.
@@mpendakiswahili3053. They are around but they are not as many as you may think. But the most important thing is that they do not control the economy of Nairobi and Kenyans are actually majority share holders in their city
@@kevinmax25 Huwa nawaona zile pages za Mukuru kwa Zukabaga, wakiona tu post ya NBO ni full on bile mara inamilikiwa na waHindi, Somali mara wazungu na hadithi nyinginezo.
@@mpendakiswahili3053 Why are you this triggered ? He's just giving out the raw data, wapi umeona akipiga kifua ? Haya tuambie basi mbona Nai ni expensive.
You touched on the real issue at the end. What is it that suits an individual''s lifestyle? It's all subjective. For me personally I have no interest in going to Africa to experience New York City and eat like I'm in the USA.
@@mpendakiswahili3053 It's ok..not everyone has to go to NRB..He will find what suits him in a different African city..If ur Kenyan we both know they r talking Abt expat lifestyle in NRB.. Kenyans know the other side of NRB..hope am making sense
Since its comparing capital cities then your review is correct. Though Nairobi and Dar are like day and night interms food, weather, people and language
I'm from Europe I'm planning to relocate to East Africa I have visited Kenya , Tanzania and Uganda, my husband and I decided that we would like to settle in Nairobi, so next year we are planning to move to Nairobi., but our final destination will be either Nanyuki or Nakuru.

For amazing Kenyan dishes try Nyama Mama in Capital Centre, Kilimanjaro Jamia along Kimathi Street, Amaica Restaurant in Westlands, Traveller's Restaurant along Mama Ngina Street, Nyama Mama Delta in Westlands. Kenyan dishes to try: nyama choma(bbq) with ugali, chapati with beef stew, pilau, beef/chicken biriani, traditional mukimo, tilapia with ugali, etc.. Street foods to try: smokie pasua, mutura, smokie chapo, mshikaki, etc.
Thanks for the recommendations.
Kilimanjaro food can hardly be described as Kenyan
Thank you for loving our East African countries love from Philadephia Pennsylvania.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for your honest observations!
Thanks watching!
July is the coldest month in Nairobi , i love it no sun for hours and chilly winds.
I have visited Kenya but I fell in love with Nanyuki , this is where we plan to settle. I went to Kisumu, Eld, Mombasa,Nakuru and Nanyuki. So our pick was Nanyuki or Nakuru. Mombasa was too warm for us.
Nanyuki is an excellent place..especially if you love your peace
@@charlesbabu5845 sure it is.
Facts
That’s amazing to hear!
Daresalaam is exactly like Mombasa u would love the local food in Mombasa and the beaches too.
We would love to visit!
@@FREEDOMCHASERSLIFE it is an hour flight or less than 2 depending on which part of Mombasa you are going to. There is Nyali, Diani, Lamu etc.
You cannot Compare that village of Mombasa with Dar Es Salaam City. Unless you never travelled and you dont even know Dr es Salaam other that watching on youtube..
@@tanzanite9944 I have lived in dar for ten years I have many friends in Dar so I know what am talking about.Dar is closely compared to Mombasa than Nairobi it is a travesty to even think Dar can be Nairobi because Tanzania has a long way to go .
@@tanzanite9944 village eh?
I came back to finish watching the video! I started in the morning but had to get back to work. Okay ya'll I loooved this one! I'm about to rewatch when hubby comes home. He's from 🇹🇿 Tanzania. I'm so happy to see yall are comfortable in Africa and are loving it!
We’re glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching!
@FREEDOM CHASERS You're very much welcome!
From the comments,i would say i have nothing else to add.Welcome to Kenya guys.Enjoy your time here and give us your honest reviews.Your channel will grow that is for sure.Kenyans love hearing foreigner's perspective of Kenya lol then once they leave most won't keep watching unless youré very likeable.True story.But i promise you won't want to leave.❤❤
Thanks for watching!
I love you guys.
Congolese citizen, residing in Johannesburg South Africa. I have been in Nairobi and in Dar. If it was to start a new life in one off those two cities, I would prefer Nairobi. Nawapenda Wabongo, Ndafika watembelea mu siku kidogo 🇨🇩🇿🇦
Thanks for watching
Kenya does seem like a great country! It is beautiful! I really want to visit cause there is so much that I love about it.
You should and thanks for watching!
Welcome we love visitors in Kenya
when you visit kenya holla me...i will take you around
You all in Nairobi now? Karibu fam. The black Expat group here is a resource. Hope to connect with you all. Grace & peace.
What part of town are you all in? Nairobi is big and varied. Local foods are available in a number of places. Nairobi is definitely more expensive, especially housing; but there are so many options. Didn’t mention the broader use of English in Nairobi.
Thank you both.. stay blessed
Same to you!
It's good you travel upcountry also, Naivasha & Nakuru and see the great Rift Valley, also Nairobi National parks and Maasai Mara etc
Thanks for the recommendation!
@@FREEDOMCHASERSLIFE Also visit the west side city next to the biggest lake in Africa Kisumu City & the tea town of Kericho.
Y'all have to try Kenyan street food. Ask for Mutura, smokie and mayai pasua you'll find them on trolleys along most streets in town.
Thanks for the recommendations!
@@FREEDOMCHASERSLIFE We don't really have a food culture here and foreigners have never loved our foods. Not even our neighbours love our foods. But we still take pride in our ugali... that's the food that's taking us to the streets.
For groceries it depend where you shopping .,...I love your Content
Thank you
An honest assessment. Blessings❤
Thanks for watching!
I think next time compare cities which are in the the same geographical position e.g Nairobi and Kigali or for the coastal like Dar and Mombasa.
But overall I liked your content🙌🏿💯
Keep up with the efforts👏🏾👍🏾
Thanks for watching
Tanzanian from Dar-es-Salaam... this is an accurate review of both cities 👍
Thanks! 😃
I am from Dar salaam lakini Napenda Nairobi Sana❤
Pay a visit to kamakis, along the Eastern bypass and Kikopey for a taste of the local treats.
Thanks for the recommendation!
Snacks to try
Chevda is a must try
Flavoured baobabs
Achari ( dried flavoured mangoes)
Bajia/viazi karai/with tamarind sauce n chillie
Casava/nduma crips
Ground nuts
Where can we get it?
You could get the above snacks in Nairobi CBD at the Jamia Mosque..right outside the Mosque
I am a Tanzanian and i agree with you 100%, another problem for foreigners here in Tanzania is language burrier , We love our National Language i mean We love swahili language, myself i learnt English on the RUclips just to communicate , lakini Karibuni saana Tanzania , tunawapenda na kuthamini mchango wenu na maoni yenu
Thanks for watching!
Speaking swahili is the best thing, the same thing if you to other western countries, they as well don't speak English.
Language Burrier? Well, indeed language is a barrier my friend.
Yeah still doesn't change the fact y'all can't even spell things correctly when you write things in kiswahili
Great! Also, there is RUclips in Kiswahili, another world language these days!!
I feel like you should have been to multiple food spots in Dar es Salaam to experience the International feel, because there are so many and are rated way better than Capetown Fish Market...😊
We have, we lived there for almost a year
winter is coming to dar on May don't worry it will be abit cooler in late April ,May,June and July
Thanks for watching!
Nairobi weather is cool. After the rains its our mini winter season. From june to mid august . Then sunshine for 2 and half months then end of the yr rains till feb . March sunshine April to may rains then mid june winter colds of kenya.
Very nice
Thank you very much!am proud to be Kenyan... Nairobi is the city of Africa.
Thanks for watching
If you have money in Nairobi you can eat the best food ever. I grew up in Nairobi and will always say hands down it’s an amazing place to live in
Enjoy your stay guys🙏
Love you guys man, appreciate you and trying join the diaspora back home. 2024 in amerikkka is about to be crazy. The solar eclipse on March 8th Yudah is awake blessings APTTMHYAH💪🏾👑✊🏿
Hello brother and hello sister. I hope your stay is okay and enjoyable.
I do interviews and I do videos about Black Americans coming to Africa, Ghana, Tanzania, Kenya , Gambia. I am currently in Kenya at the moment. Would you mind to have an interview sometime in this month.
Please email us at freedomchasersbooking@gmail.com
I also prefer Kenya to Tanzania..
Thanks for watching
I'M glad I found your channel.
What a darling couple you are!
I'm looking forward to watching your other videos.
DID you have to take a COVID shot to go there?
Thanks for watching!
New subscriber here ❤ Kenya represented 🇰🇪
Welcome to the family!
Dar is super hot, makes one want to come back to Nairobi, but the low cost of living in Dar makes you want to stay a little more.
True
I am Kenyan, currently living in The Netherlands, never been to Tanzania but I 💯 agree with your review. The best place to compare Dar to is Mombasa and Nairobi to Dodoma. But it doesn't matter, Nairobi will still be the best 😄.
You've just earned yourself a loyal subscriber. Good stuff! 💪
Welcome to the family
He he, every RUclipsr seeking to grow their channels comes to Nairobi, I see you. Fast WiFi very affordable here, we like watching vlogs.
By the way, for the weather? It is going to get so cold from June.
Thanks for watching!
The review is very unbiased
Thanks for watching!
Nairobi has everything, it's the only city in the world that has game park within. You can see giraffes, Buffaloes and lions while in your hotel rooms. If you have binoculars ie. 🤞
Yes I can really appreciate that, thanks for watching!
Sasa wewe
As a Kenyan who loves Tanzania music, I'm here for the comments.
👍🏽
You could try Mangroove Restaurant in South C, exclusively local food (and their fish tikka is awesome).
Thanks for your recommendation!
5:25 Great local restaurants:
1. Tulips Restaurant, Kileleshwa have the best nyama choma
2. K'Osewe Ranalo Foods, downtown Nairobi make a fantastic Fish & Ugali (try the brown ugali),
3. swahili Plate - authentic, delicious dishes from the Coast (Mombasa, Malindi, Diani etc)
Thanks for the Recommendations!
Come to Mombasa you will enjoy all traditional delicacies
Hopefully soon!
I love both countries
But Nairobi is just special
Absolutely, thanks for watching!
Wow! Nice comparison of Dar & Nairobi. However, in terms of the climatic conditions, Nairobi is about 1500 metres above sea level, and obviously cooler than Dar.
You need to visit Mombasa and her surrounding towns such Diani, Watamu, etc. You will see that will compare to Dar better than Nairobi
The coldest month in Nairobi is July
Thanks for letting us know and for watching!
You should compare Mombasa n Dar es Salam they both coastal towns the food in Mombasa definitely matches that in Dar
Thanks for watching
Nairobi is the place to be. I love your channel ❤
Thanks for watching!
Let's do another weather video around late June to July, you'll never ever need airconditioning and won't miss it! 😅
Try Mombasa you will find it alot similar as Dar
Thanks for the suggestion!
Hi, this is the first time I'm watching your content and I'm finding it very interesting. As for the topic for the video, one thing I'd love to point out is that Nairobi is a UN city, so that means it is home to a lot of foreign diplomats from more countries than Dar. Also Nairobi is home to regional HQ or HQ of many multinationals. So these two factors exposes Nairobi to more global influences compared to Dar. Also, these two factors makes the city more expensive than Dar. I just thought I'd point that out. Otherwise enjoy your stay in Kenya.
Why are we so proud of having too much colonizers in our country....
@@mpendakiswahili3053. They are around but they are not as many as you may think. But the most important thing is that they do not control the economy of Nairobi and Kenyans are actually majority share holders in their city
@@kevinmax25 Huwa nawaona zile pages za Mukuru kwa Zukabaga, wakiona tu post ya NBO ni full on bile mara inamilikiwa na waHindi, Somali mara wazungu na hadithi nyinginezo.
@@mpendakiswahili3053 Why are you this triggered ? He's just giving out the raw data, wapi umeona akipiga kifua ? Haya tuambie basi mbona Nai ni expensive.
@@AMGW11 wasomali ni wakenya kama sisi wengine.....I guese your too bothered with the affairs of the foreigners to know that....
Thank you for loving nairobi and welcome to Kenya
Thanks for watching!
Please try Mama Oliech for the local food
Nairobi and all over Kenya is beautiful!!!!!!!😮
Absolutely
You touched on the real issue at the end. What is it that suits an individual''s lifestyle? It's all subjective. For me personally I have no interest in going to Africa to experience New York City and eat like I'm in the USA.
We completely understand, thanks for watching!
@@FREEDOMCHASERSLIFE By the way please excuse my manners. I did enjoy the content it's good information for folks looking to visit /migrate.
Thank you!
That's what I keep telling my people over here, nobody wants to come to Kenya to experience western culture
@@mpendakiswahili3053 It's ok..not everyone has to go to NRB..He will find what suits him in a different African city..If ur Kenyan we both know they r talking Abt expat lifestyle in NRB.. Kenyans know the other side of NRB..hope am making sense
Since its comparing capital cities then your review is correct. Though Nairobi and Dar are like day and night interms food, weather, people and language
Thanks for watching
Spot on review..Mombasa Kenya is more like Dare salaam..
