Kenya is so beautiful. I agree the people are so kind and humble. I’m glade you spent more time away from the big cities. Nairobi is supper developed I was very impressed coming from Australia.
There are homeless people every corner of the world, in Europe, they sleep under a tunnel, i saw them in a place called Romford, they were soooo many i couldn't believe i was in London..
Most of the culture he's talking about is Nairobi street culture and not entirely Kenyan. You should have visited other cities/towns, different cultures and experiences. But surely, as a Kenyan I would say you have given an entirely honest and non-biased view, bravo !!
Yeah... he says he landed in nairobi but ignores the perfect infrastructure, ultra modern buildings and the many high end restaurants and residential complexes but somehow only noticed the street kids and the life in the bush he chose to live in? wow!
Children learn English as early as three years when they start school at baby class or earlier if parents speak English at home. Both English and Swahili are learnt together from childhood. So for the kids saying just hi or hello to you does not mean thats all the English they know!! And NOT all children are in the streets! Otherwise what do adults and children say to a stranger in your country after greetings????
I wonder does speaking English mean you more intelligent than one who does not,or does speaking native tongue make one of less intelligence just asking?..
Keep in mind you are talking about the Children in urban centres where education is available. He was taken to a place without modern and western interference so he could learn about Kenyan culture. We all know that education isn't everywhere in Kenya and where he was maybe the case was the same
His speaking the truth ever since when has English become a priority,it's not a measure of intelligence or a sign that one is more culturally astute than others,kids learn first their mother tongue that's a priority ,then a second language probably English as third language,I spoke German and my mother tongue before I knew what English was,Also my kids speak their native tongue first ,English is like a fourth or 3rd Language to them
Where he was (which was far from Nairobi or other developed cities where children are entitled to education) the children didn't know english because there are no schools in the rural areas to teach them english or maybe the parents don't have the fees to pay for education. I have been to many such places.
Your Swahili is very impressive, and your accent is great for a Mzungu, though it is more Tanzanian than Kenyan. I understand your love for East Africa more in your Swahili, you're speaking to our hearts and we appreciate your service of love in your mission to Africa.
This is a good interview. One can only talk about their personal experience. It is up to the viewer to take multiple stories from multiple people, piece them up and make their own complete story. I really don't understand how one can dislike this...
Well i cannot disregard your experience but you do realise that as a visitor and a white 'mzingu' people may treat you special especially from the rural area. In town we are normal people who drive cars and go to Java. So we are not so different.
As a kenyan,I approve his review.He was very unbiased and completely honest so I would hold nothing against him.Our village kids don't speak English very well and that is nothing to be ashamed of since it's not a first language.
Exactly! He says it in the video he was in the outskirts of Eldoret and he was a missionary. Kuna watu wana comment hapa they don't know the reality of many of these places outside of Nairobi. This guy gives HIS experiences of his time here and that's OK. He has not told a single lie and he seems pretty much in touch with Kenyan rural culture and lifestyle.
I have a kwesheni☝️Did someone tell him that most of the disabled people/beggars he met in the streets of most Kenyan cities/towns are imported from other East African countries especially Tanzanians?
Hyenas aren't found in the Sahara Desert, they are in the Savannah, and clearly from the Man's description of where he was staying it would be common to encounter Hyenas there.
@@zorahkobero2440 There are actually spotted hyenas in the Sahara dessert, they are not only in the Savannah. Also based off where he was he can not give a good description on Kenya, as most kenyans don't live right next to hyenas. It's very rare for us to encounter a hyena, unless we were in the savannah,sahara or some sort of national park.
This person, for the "kids" who spoke to you, they didn't want to speak English to you and also because we prefer to speak Sheng' which is like the language for most people going under 18(this is coming from a sixteen years old by the way). Also, the how are you is a greeting, it shows that they hope you had a good evening or night or day or whatever time they speak to you. For the food, it is not as easy as you make it seem. Ugali is really hard to make. You don't just ''mix" water and flour over a source of heat. If you do that, you'll be taking this thing called porridge. There has to be the perfect heat and the perfect amount of flour. Otherwise... You'll have a complete mess. By the way it's true. Even if it's not lunch time. if you come into the house, you MUST have something, otherwise it'll be an insult to us Lol me living in Kenya and having never been chased by hyenas. In other news. Your Kiswahili is really nice, you know, even though you're mzungu. It is still good. Thank you for coming to Kenya. Welcome again 😄
Seeing giraffes along the road 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm on the ground 🤣🤣. And he was chased by hyenas 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣..having lived all my life in Kenya, I'm practically shaking, I'm horrified. Kenya wildlife - what is happening? We are not 42 tribes anymore. We r at 47 tribes.
The street children in Kenya (chokoraa), they are mainly teenagers who are orphans who's life took a drastic turn of events or got abandoned as infants. If they are given opportunities, you will be shocked with the amazing things they can do. Its the same with the homeless people in Los Angeles and New York.
You don't visit a country, go to the most rural places and use that to describe the whole country ...its like going to Brazil, go live in the favelas then use that to describe the whole country 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️..But one thing he got right is Kenyan people are humble and we like to give.
The Kenyan chokoras are half the homeless population that the US has across their massive nation. For instance, you have unspeakable numbers of american citizens living on skid row (Los Angeles, CA), Philadelphia, Chicago, New York, Seattle, San Francisco, etc ... and pretty much as I said ... across the anerican vast land. Kenyan homeless population is nothing but a minute fraction of what you see in America.
Give this guy a Kenyan citizenship...the Swahili is so on point. Actually better that that of some Kenyans abroad. He understands us so well;Our food,culture and like any other nation, our PRIDE
The end made me smile and laugh, so watch to the end, somewhere around his speaking, he spoke like a Coastarian and also he kinda sounded like Uhuru's son the day he was giving a speech when he said "Yule mtu ambaye nilikuwa hapo zamani ......" and some other words like 'Nairobi', but this mzungu is soooo good in Swahili given that he was formulating and articulating his own words . Plus he should visit Coastal Kenya, they speak pure Swahili. I most especially loved that he spoke of Jesus Christ as Our Saviour. Glory To Jesus Christ.
Tribes in Kenya have actually increased, Shona Kenyans and Indian Kenyans have been granted and recognised as Kenyans. Both peoples migrated to Kenya in the 20th century and are either 3rd or 4th generation. But have always been Kenyan in more ways.
* most of the beggars on the streets are actually form Tanzania and run a cartel-like begging business here in Kenya. As the Kenyan shillings is much stronger than the Tanzanian shilling it makes more economic sense to Tanzania's beggers to cross the border to Kenya where it's more lucrative.
This is just being biased! 😂😂😂😒. How would you judge a whole nation basing on where you visited or stayed for a while...some of the things he's saying are just unbelievable, #tembea Kenya
While I understand what you're saying, he insists in the video that that was HIS experience. To be honest Kenya is diverse but majority of what he says is the reality for a great percentage of Kenyans other than the urban few. Alisema nini ya uwongo?
Mzungu means visitor not white person, mzungu it's name given to a person that is not of that land, every time I go to my village thy will use that name msungu inzi, which mean a visitor as arrived.
Thanks for appreciating our culture and kindness. Both Kenya and Tanzania are good countries. Working to make things better. Welcome back and bring more people to. Karibu sana. Napenda kiswahili chako
Excuse me I am a 14 year old girl and I speak very good English and it depends which part of kenya u live in if you leave in the city we are very well developed many children speak a lot language

Hospitality is generally an African thing. You come in to someone's home they'll offer you something to eat/drink. And yeah, you can't say NO. It's offensive to refuse.
I think you lived mostly in the rural areas not urban.and for your information most kid understand English because that is the language they are taught by in Kenya.
MZUNGU actually means "ENGLISH PERSON" (not necessarily White person). It has been coined from the word "KIZUNGU" which is the Kiswahili word for ENGLISH. You realize not every White person is English? So a French (White) will be called MFARANSA, German - Mjerumani, Spanish - Mhispania etc...
Some people are finding it hard to understand that western technology isn't Kenyan.When Foreigners visit Kenya they avoid Nairobi because it's not essential,it is filled with foreign policies and practices and products which they can find in their own countries. Instead they got to the rural areas where Kenyan tradition still exists, where they can learn what Kenya truly was and is
There is no Kenyan swahili or Tanzanian swahili. The Tanzanians just have more knowledge of the language due to their daily use of Kiswahili Sanifu that isn't mixed with english or tribal languages or sheng.
Why does every white tourist talk about the most rural parts all the poorest parts of Kenya they never show the beautiful parts of Kenya like Nairobi Mombasa naivasha and many more all the one to show its poverty and suffering........ Kenya has so many beautiful and fun places
These is negative reinforcement...conditioning African minds to think lowly of ourselves. It's unintentional as the world has been duped into viewing Afrika as the continent of misery
Haha, I'm looking at the comments and wondering why you're so mad yet he's speaking the truth...kids at the rural areas don't know swahili...how will they know english
Guys haven't tembead the Kenya they're saying Tembea haha. There are kids out here who still run after a car screaming "gari gari" because they hardly see one. Guys easily forget that 80% of rural Kenya isn't like Kiambu and Machakos or Murang'a which are urban in every sense. I think most commentators are the urban few and their reality is different.
This isn't true btw. English is a very urban language... Forget our Nairobi and Machakos Kiambu and Thika realities and step out for a bit. I have lived in many rural /peri-urban places and even getting by in Kiswahili is difficult, because there's hardly any need for other languages than the native language there. Amesema tu ukweli yake.
Nice! Very well put together. "The animals come out at night😆". I've never heard an accent from the Beehive state. Very nice English. It's almost BBC/VOA standard.👍
Yeah when you are from a country that's almost the size of Africa, then kenya as a country is just like a State so Eldoret might be far for you but to them it's just some few miles from Nairobi
Anasema tuu reality yake mi sioni ubaya. Kenya kuna tribal culture, kuna ugali na skuma, kuna ma chokoch, mabarabara ni matope, etc. Amesema tu kile ali experience. Mtu mwingine atapeana reality yake.
I agree with you @loreen k It's like someone saying "Kibera ni kunoma kunakuanga na ma flying toilet"... yet Karen is also in Kibera! But that's HIS reality. That's what he has experienced, we can't bash him for saying it. 🤷🏿♂️

It's not that different. The same homeless people you see in the US are the same in Kenya but in Kenya it's mostly teenage children (Chokoraa).
There are homeless people every corner of the world, in Europe, they sleep under a tunnel, i saw them in a place called Romford, they were soooo many i couldn't believe i was in London..

If anything we are now advocating for our native languages.

My friend clearly you know Kenya well..keep it up bro🇰🇪🇰🇪
"Na kubuka siku abazo nirikuwa huko"😂😂.He definitely stayed with the kikuyus😂
Haha, I'm looking at the comments and wondering why you're so mad yet he's speaking the truth...kids at the rural areas don't know swahili...how will they know english
I concur
True he is 95% accurate
We have schools in rural areas and they use English as a learning media..
💯
Guys haven't tembead the Kenya they're saying Tembea haha. There are kids out here who still run after a car screaming "gari gari" because they hardly see one. Guys easily forget that 80% of rural Kenya isn't like Kiambu and Machakos or Murang'a which are urban in every sense.
I think most commentators are the urban few and their reality is different.
Amazing 👍👍👍 The message at the end 🙏🙏
Wow.. Your swahili is 👌🏾.. Welcome to South Africa next time.. You will have a different experience.
Many Kenyan kids speaks very good English....
Somebody should tell him that
True💯
This isn't true btw. English is a very urban language... Forget our Nairobi and Machakos Kiambu and Thika realities and step out for a bit.
I have lived in many rural /peri-urban places and even getting by in Kiswahili is difficult, because there's hardly any need for other languages than the native language there.
Amesema tu ukweli yake.
I love this man,he's quick to learn
Kenyan in the house 🏠, I just subscribed
He is speaking Swahili better than some Kenyans(our brothers and sisters from a certain province known because of their massive eating ability)😂😂😂😂😂
woo that is perfect pastor
Wow...this is splendid of you...I like the fact that you appreciate my country Kenya...this is really amazing!
Can we take sometime to appreciate how he got the kids accent well and could say chokora good enough 💀
This guy got everything right about Kenya. As a Kenyan, I endorse his views.
Nice! Very well put together. "The animals come out at night😆". I've never heard an accent from the Beehive state. Very nice English. It's almost BBC/VOA standard.👍
Wait, Eldoret is within the outskirts of Nairobi? 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
Yeah when you are from a country that's almost the size of Africa, then kenya as a country is just like a State so Eldoret might be far for you but to them it's just some few miles from Nairobi
Wow karibu kenya a gain 🇰🇪 the pride of Africa
Shenzi! Huyu msee anachoma
Anasema tuu reality yake mi sioni ubaya. Kenya kuna tribal culture, kuna ugali na skuma, kuna ma chokoch, mabarabara ni matope, etc. Amesema tu kile ali experience. Mtu mwingine atapeana reality yake.
😂😂😂😂🤣
@@loremipsum6484 lakini some of what he mentioned doesn't represent the whole of kenya lakini nairobi tu
I agree with you @loreen k
It's like someone saying "Kibera ni kunoma kunakuanga na ma flying toilet"... yet Karen is also in Kibera! But that's HIS reality. That's what he has experienced, we can't bash him for saying it. 🤷🏿♂️
Lorem Ipsum true
I like this guy. He is so humble. And his kiswahili is good.
