I lived in Nairobi for ten years as a child, from 1957 to 1967. My family and I lived in different houses during that time, two of them in Upper Hill. The first was at the corner of Upper Hill Road and Elgon Road, next door to Upper Hill School. The second house was at the corner of Ragati Road (called Rawson Road at that time) and Mara Road. Big old fashioned wooden houses built on brick pillars to keep termites away from the floors. Both houses have long since gone - there’s a big modern Upper Hill skyscraper where the Ragati Road house was. And according to Google Earth, there’s open waste ground where the Upper Hill/Elgon Road house was. Upper Hill School, where I was a pupil, is still there. My years living in Upper Hill were some of the happiest of my childhood. Upper Hill has changed so much since my time there in the 1960s, but so many good memories brought back by watching your video - Asantini sana to you both, and greetings from Scotland.
I love my country Kenya......Upperhill is so beautiful....i love how Dolphine is accomodative on his brother . I hope you get more and more subscribers from Kenyans....we have to get you the 100k YT reach.
One round video of our beautiful universities,..Nairobi, ku,daiztar,aga Khan, St Paul,strathmore, Catholic etc let's promote education. Good job keep it up ug connect and dolphin
I am surprised a majority of people think Westlands is shining in former glory. The district just got a major reboot with the Express Way. It is better accesible now more than ever, and I think we are yet to see the best of that side of town!
The main contribution of development in Kenya as compared to other EA countries is many global organisations have their headquarters in Nairobi like the United Nations
The fact that there are three more districts developed like Upperhill shows how Nairobi is so aggressive in growth , Westlands is really giving upperhill some tough competition
You got it wrong. Westlands is an old neighbourhood, upper hill is recent and has grown quite fast, a city within a city. Infact it has overtaken the CBD its quite neat and organised.
@@africacorporatetrends1 Past glory?? Dude the place has the largest business complex in Africa hosting the World Trading center led with mega 42 floor beast of a building , Upperhill is better but that doesn't mean you down play Westlands
@@Create-d6i Yes Upperhill is better than the rest of the business districts but just because Westlands has more history doesn't make it old , The GTC and the expressway are some of the examples of how Westlands is rapidly growing
Hello UG connect! I enjoy your videos a lot, you are doing an amazing job 👌I will be coming to ug in one week and explore Kampala. It will be my honour and pleasure to meet you and help me explore the city 😊
Normally i never comment on anything, but this video was nice, the part about library made me laugh, keep on doing your thing and good luck from Holland
Am Cameroonian the first day i came here in kenya Nairobi i feel in love whit this beautiful city Nairobi. Je suis vraiment amoureux de cette ville de Nairobi, il ya de quoi investire sans regrets
Upperhill looks so nice and modern. Dolphine didn't take you to Altura. This is another 30-floor tower under construction just next to 88 Nairobi. And then vibandas need to go, or at least the street vendors need to have decent structures.
imagine she dont seems to give attention to Prism Towers and 4th Ngong Rd Towers which are most beautiful. There is also upcoming Altura Towers opposite Nairobi Hospital gate 1.
The development is mostly about leaders trying to leave a legacy. They want to be remembered for something. Even the current leader will leave a legacy project and that is a good development driver.
i will always don't measure the quality of life through high towers or buildings.. how is the health care system, employment rate, education system, justice system, food security, crime rate, taxation system, tribalism/nepotism, transport system, investment climate. In Kenya..I guess we need to hear these things please..otherwise the architecture is good.. send greetings to dolphin, has done a wonderful job to take u round n up nairobi...may god bless us all.. thanks for the production....
Our supreme court overturned the presidential election in 2017, after the incumbent won. In 2022, the incumbent teamed with Raila, but they were together unable to force the electoral commission to declare Raila as the winner. It recognized the rightful winner (Ruto), who was vp (can't be fired by president) but was frustrated ever since Raila and Uhuru's friendship. The two disputed and thought that the supreme court would favor them only for it to affirm Ruto's win... We may not be perfect but our institutions are working somehow.
I guess these are things that someone can find online through various platforms and literature. We have various organizations doing research in health, political and economic indices, Human development index, ease of doing business indices, nature of transport system, tax regime etc.
i agree. im kenyan but most public sectors are below average in standards especially those out of Nairobi. Health sector is overall terrible such that people move to other coutries for treatment. public education is bad bc people cheat. most people live in slum areas
You have been in Kenya for long now , when do you travel back to Ug ? It's been a good trip and I've enjoyed the videos 😊. Dolphine is great and really hot❤

Enjoy Nairobi. Very developed. Info. The tallest building in africa is in new capital city Egypt at over 380 meters. The PLANNED Pinnacle tower in Kenya will be about 320 metres. Therfore it will be hard for any new building in africa to overtake the Iconic tower in Egypt in next 10-15 yrs.
The Pinnacle project was stopped by a Ugandan with a court case. Not sure if they will resume but I couldn't believe a fellow East African holding development back.
Most countries in Europe 🇪🇺 will be unhappy now, because you're showing positive and good Africans images!!....Most of them believe Africa is a jungle filled with villagers and lions!!!😅😅😅
Unplanned & shoddily built Mabati hotels & kiosks are mushrooming in certain parts of Upper Hill Nairobi. I hope Gov. Sakaja remembers that he was voted in to restore ORDER in Nairobi County.
He should start with the boda guys who are steadily encroaching every street corner of 'uptown' CBD, not to mention hawkers who've colonized all pavements in 'downtown.'
Nairobi or kenya has been growing because of leadership more than the political atmosphere, tz has a better political atmosphere than kenya but it still lags behind to kenya, leadership matters as in case n point like rwanda, when the leadership is good there is room for growth, moi's era growth was stagnant n i have a feeling the next five years not much growth will be seen but i stand to be corrected, also dolphine kinda feels like she is new to nairobi herself but she sure did try, there is plenty of gems she didn't seem to know of in Nairobi n upper hill particularly, but it's the joy of exploring, you both learn, also she shouldn't be so hard on uganda's development, she understands the situation on the ground i hope, hope u enjoy kenya ssebo
Upperhill...a city within a city...it was nice doing this video with you 😅
You guess could've joined 3,4 neighborhoods around upper hill as one lol..

She seems not to be so much into buildings she even take time before she differentiate Pinnacle tower and 88_ Condominium
imagine she dont seems to give attention to Prism Towers and 4th Ngong Rd Towers which are most beautiful. There is also upcoming Altura Towers opposite Nairobi Hospital gate 1.
I would suggest ug connect takes a ride on the sgr to Mombasa. It would be a great treat for him.

Try and VISIT the NAIROBI STREET (Kitchen) which is in WESTLANDS, also VISIT the GTC towers, also in WESTLANDS.
Uganda Road is in eldoret... uganda house in nairobi city centre..then kampala Road in industrial area
For marketing Nairobi well you earn yourself a new subscriber from 254
Thank you
Upperhill, miss the sanity, good kibandoski for breakfast and lunch
The kibandas make the place bad.
Very disorganized.
The whole of CBD is downtown. You have only now began to enter uptown.
The development is mostly about leaders trying to leave a legacy. They want to be remembered for something. Even the current leader will leave a legacy project and that is a good development driver.
Zakayo is only interested with enriching himself
My friend has a great garage there.
Pinnacle Towers, Nairobi is a defunct project. Kenyan politics killed it.
I haven't seen any pothole 😁😁😁, I love Kenya
Not one will you find. CBD has a few challenges though.
I'm surprised dolphine254 didn't share with you some tidbits about the 88 Nairobi condominium.
