CORRECTION/UPDATE: Nairobi National Park is within the city proper, but depending on who you ask, if you have time as a tourist, you might want to skip this park. If you live there, you might frequent it more or less often depending on your desire to get out of the city.
Because you love us? Hope you enjoyed it. We just did an interview with a Kenyan in Doha if you'd rather check that out. ruclips.net/video/i-6AdSHLb2g/видео.html
Uber is definitely affordable, and you can work out a long term deal with a private taxi service... Stay away from public transportation, avoid tourist traps and have a blast Nairobi is beautiful, traffic is crazy and make a point of visiting lamu or Mombasa both have awesome clean beaches.
Guys guys, what a very accurate and detailed video of expat life in Nairobi. You got your living areas on point, You got your prices right, You got the whole vibe right. I think the key things apart from the basics you need in Nairobi (and all. Of Kenya) are, Understanding of courtesy, Street smarts in your interactions, Wise decision making when it comes to safety. Openness to different cultures. If you have these and a few others, you will absolutely love Nairobi and Kenya. This is a country that has been built on hospitality. Welcoming any curious person to our uniquely Kenyan culture. We don't know why exactly it's soo endearing to people but we massively enjoy dishing it out. So (as long as you observe courtesy) we will give you the best time of your life very willingly. Thanks a lot guys. Hopefully one day I bump into you at Artcaffe, or Village Market, or Karura, or Alchemist, Brew bistro, Mama rocks etc etc.
Thanks, Benjamin. We appreciate the message. We're currently in Portugal, but it would be cool to bump into you one day there. Have you checked out Dave Mani's channel? We recently interviewed him and will have it go live fairly soon. - Josh & Kalie
Nairobi has more liveable estates than the ones you have mentioned. There is kasarani, roysambu, syokimau, kitengela, thome, marurui, kahawa west. And am talking of estates that you will find a good number of foreigners living there. Houses are modern, all social amenities are available and security is good.
@@tuforu4 then that explains your ignorance on the topic at hand. why don't you go and educate yourself more about Kenya and also the Cohen case. Because the two and not even closely related.
Dave Mani and Tracy brought me here... I don't know why I am binge watching your channel on expats in Kenya and I have so much unfinished work. LOL. I guess as a Kenyan it's interesting finding out about expats living in my country since my father has been an expat leaving abroad almost all his life and as a child of an expat it's interesting having other point of views. I'd visit my father abroad over the holidays but schooled and was based in Kenya but definitely enjoyed my life abroad whenever I visited him. It felt like an amazing break from reality.
Hey I'm I was born in Kenya but been living in the Caribbean for 26 years. Trust me I don't like people dissing my country. But you guys kinda nailed it. I have RUclips channel too. When I come to KENYA we can collabote. Just a suggestion
Susan Pollard Thanks 😊 We’ll take a look at your channel. You’ve been in the Caribbean a long time! What do you do there? Maybe we can do an expat interview with you. That’s the core of our channel.
Preparing for my first trip to Nairobi, Kenya. I plan to stay in Airbnb's and not travel or lodge with a tour group. Please help me with choosing a "safe area" in Nairobi and Mombasa. My first week, I will stay in Nairobi , then a train ride to Mombasa for a second week. Any suggestions? I have no contacts in Kenya. Any suggestions you offer will be greatly appreciated.
hello, we will gladly host you in our Karen Airbnb and it is very safe due to the fact that many very senior civil servants live here including the vice president and leader of the 'opposition'. we could pick you from the airport for extra but we will make sure its cheaper than most taxies. www.airbnb.com/rooms/39639787?preview_for_ml=true&source_impression_id=p3_1601216877_lT9qPBzPc9hjuvil I've provided the link to make it easier for you.
Am a qualified SWAHILI tutor based in Nairobi. If you need group or private Swahili lessons. Contact me on +254722636736 will also help you in settling down
When in Nairobi, for Airbnb choose Westlands Kileleshwa Riverside Kilimani Statehouse road Hurlingham Upperhill Parklangs Gigiri Loresho Brookeside Springvalley For a tourist friendly experience with local culture choose, Ngong road, Langata, South B and C, Imara daima, Roysambu, High Rise, Kiambu, Garden city, Rongai. Avoid, Mathare Kariobangi, Kangemi, Kawangware, Githurai, Kayole, Muthurwa, Mukuru, etc etc. They are OK, but they need a very detailed understanding of Kenyaness.
@@ExpatsEverywhere they dont really hangout together due to $$$. Expats live in places where most locals can't afford so interaction with locals becomes hard as generally people hangout with people with similar social economic background.
west max there’s plenty of locals in areas where expats live, I live in Nairobi in a region where you can find plenty of expats, those who come off as friendly and open will quickly make friends with the locals, you can also easily make friends if you hang out in the same spots as Kenyans like bars, clubs or even churches
I might be moving to Nairobi for work and this video helped me get an idea of what it's like. I've lived in Africa a lot in my childhood with expat parents, but not as an adult which I imagine is different.
Please share your experiences as frank and as candid as you deem. As so long as its the truth and there are no bias...dont worry if meet a few negatives in the comments section. You are doing a good job!!
We have an interview about Nairobi being released tomorrow. We interviewed an expat that's moved there with her husband and young son from London, England.
I enjoyed watching the video, another trick to living in kenya is know a little bit of swahili words or even Sheng the touts will not overcharge you, they will be impressed by the intrest you took learning few words and most are ready to guide you. it's also easy and cheaper to get a nanny here.

Josh & Kalie: Thank you for defining some of the neighborhoods around Nairobi such as Westlands, Kilimani, Huilinghanb, Muthaiga, Langate and Karen. I think Langate and Karen are more of the type neighborhood, I'm looking for lodging. I will be in Nairobi for a week and than a train to Mombasa for another week. However, on my initial trip, my lodging will be it a Airbnb. In listings in Nairobi, Airbnb gives you the address, but, don't give you the neighborhood or any demographics about the area. I would like to take the address and be able to locate or know what neighborhood it's located in. Is there a street map of Nairobi, showing neighborhoods with in addresses. What do you suggest? I prefer to make lodging accommodations before leaving the (US). This way I have somewhere to go immediately when I arrive at Jomo Kenyatta Airport. What type of area is Thindigua? What should I be paying per day at a Airbnb in Langate or Karen? Thank you for any assistance you extend???? Love your videos.
Have you seen our interview with Andrea? She's an expat there in Nairobi. If you have problems connecting with her on social media, let us know. She's easy to engage with though and should be able to help you with this even better than us since she's living there now.

You're welcome. Thanks for the like and subscribe. We're working on another video for Kenya. This one will be our 2nd video interview of an expat that's there.
Light Bulb Moments 😂 We would be a mess! Check out what we did for our video on Stockholm. We had a Swedish friend collaborate with us. We just got the idea. We should have had our Kenyan friend do the pronunciation for this Nairobi video. 😊
@@ExpatsEverywhere I think you would do alright. Kenyans are very forgiving people...well, most. Just pronounce every consonant - vowel combination. Also, @AfrikanTraveller has some great content about Kenya, especially on Infrastructure and Culture. People moving to Kenya should check him out. Will definitely catch up with the Stockholm video.
Josh said, "Dang, I'm still getting the George Clooney look a likes? I've been getting those since I was 18 or 19, but I still don't see it." Thanks for the comment. Really funny and nice. :-)
It’s easy to tell this couple hasn’t spent much time eating in Nairobi before making this video. Nyama choma is BEEF. It’s easily the most popular type of food here. Ugali is likely the most eaten, but given the choice the vast majority of Kenyans will opt for Nyama choma because of how much they love beef.
Thanks, Sylviah! Sorry about that. People's attention spans these days, you know? 😉 Did YT not have their auto-generated captions for this one? - Josh & Kalie
We don't know any that are specifically for Kenyan expats as a decent amount of jobs are multinational companies that relocate their employees there. Have you looked into FB groups for expats in Kenya? If there is a Kenya specific site, they'll know it.
LOL, right. It is a common form of transportation globally and something that people are going to understand though. Taxis and ride shares are similar enough if compared against buses, metros, or tuk tuks in the transportation realm. But you're right, we should be talking more about ride share options separately. Cheers.
Thank you. Very balanced commentary. One must observe self discipline especially if one is an expat. There is crime often petty and one should be aware of it. Otherwise a wonderful place to work and live with hardly any issues.
@@CadStr It's all about demand and supply my friend. Although if you choose to stay in the neighboring counties (technically part of the Nairobi metropolitan), you can find affordable accommodation that's on the same level as what was shown in the video.
Dont be fooled just because it is in Africa. Nairobi and Kenya as a whole has a lot of mixed class lives.If you want to live a 'high class life ' it comes with its consequences and the 'medium to low' too has its pros and cons.There are places that look like LA or Miami,US ,places like slums and others like nature friendly for the nature fans.Its up to you and your choices!
Hi Guys I really wanted to discuss more on living in Nairobi It’s very important for me to decide if I want to shift and relocate to Nairobi from Dubai as I have a great opportunity from my company to shift in Nairobi So please let me know how I can get your contact details to understand the living culture and make my decision to take up the offer Will wait for your prompt reply Thank you guys 🙂🙂

So much truth and forwardness just like the real life we lead here. I really love that but in reality we have just enough teachers and teachers collages and hospitality professionals and from all walks of life that are really rearing for a tip off on who can do better.

Don't discourage people from using public transportation. A big percentage of Kenyans use it, and and we also pride ourselves in the matwana culture.

Guys guys, what a very accurate and detailed video of expat life in Nairobi.
You got your living areas on point,

I think the key things apart from the basics you need in Nairobi (and all. Of Kenya) are,
Understanding of courtesy,

Wise decision making when it comes to safety.
Openness to different cultures.
If you have these and a few others, you will absolutely love Nairobi and Kenya.

Taxis and ride shares are similar enough if compared against buses, metros, or tuk tuks in the transportation realm. But you're right, we should be talking more about ride share options separately. Cheers.
I’m a construction architect. Are there opportunities in the construction field?
Just found you guys..karibuni💓🇰🇪
Rae Wambia Love it! Glad you found us. ❤️
Anyone know is a non vacsinated can enter kenya in 2022???? Please let me know
I am interested in expats not immigrant any linguist !?
Why would you compare Kenya to NY. Completely different.
Thank you. Very balanced commentary. One must observe self discipline especially if one is an expat. There is crime often petty and one should be aware of it. Otherwise a wonderful place to work and live with hardly any issues.
Thanks for the vote of confidence. - Josh & Kalie

Looks not very cheap rent a house, considering its a quite cheap country overall
Nairobi is very expensive unless you want to live local.
@@MrMaboboz should not be expensive there is no reasons for it
@@CadStr 2:58 why 😒😒
@@CadStr It's all about demand and supply my friend. Although if you choose to stay in the neighboring counties (technically part of the Nairobi metropolitan), you can find affordable accommodation that's on the same level as what was shown in the video.
Dont be fooled just because it is in Africa. Nairobi and Kenya as a whole has a lot of mixed class lives.If you want to live a 'high class life ' it comes with its consequences and the 'medium to low' too has its pros and cons.There are places that look like LA or Miami,US ,places like slums and others like nature friendly for the nature fans.Its up to you and your choices!
😍😍😍😍
Thanks, Rose!

i get the feeling these dudes have never been to Kenya
So much truth and forwardness just like the real life we lead here. I really love that but in reality we have just enough teachers and teachers collages and hospitality professionals and from all walks of life that are really rearing for a tip off on who can do better.
Thanks for sharing, what kenyan. - Josh & Kalie
kuku paka 😂😂😂😂 i have never heard of this meal .......
mersy analyst it’s a fav among Indian communities living in Kenya. 🇰🇪 🇮🇳
@@ExpatsEverywhere kuku = chicken
Paka= cat
Weird name😂😂
Chicken curry in kiswahili is kuku masala ....not kuku paka ...just a point of correction

We hate using Wikipedia as a main source but what about this? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuku_Paka
