KENYAN Expensive Slums Where Even the RICH Can't Afford Properties. This is Why!
Welcome to Village to Town TV, where we explore fascinating locations and uncover the hidden stories behind them. In this video, we take you on a captivating drive through Githogoro and Marurui Slums, two of the most intriguing neighborhoods in Nairobi County.
These so-called “slums” have earned a reputation for being some of the most expensive areas to live in, despite their modest appearance. With skyrocketing land prices and unique challenges, even the wealthy find it hard to own property here.
Join me as I delve into the history, development, and surprising economic dynamics of these areas. You'll discover:
The staggering cost of land and rent in these slums.
Why proximity to Nairobi’s upscale neighborhoods like Runda influences their prices.
The impact of urbanization, real estate speculation, and infrastructure development.
The unique lifestyle and challenges faced by residents.
If you’re curious about Nairobi’s complex urban landscape, this is a must-watch! 🚗💨

We need warias in that area it's sleepy town wasting away while it has a huge potential
About population that's a lie! Population in this town is 50k+
There's no urban areas in Kenya sustained by prostitution since it's not a taxable business.
True
Ama huyu ametumwa na kasongo
For your information marurui is a estate not a slum.
Kenya looks Good
Thank you
Do these residents remember to give to the poor and needy, t.ex. Kibera, Mathare,...? Do they ever go there? ,,😭😭
Marurui ni Kwetu. And it's a paradise in disguise.
Its a beautiful place
You are wrong. This was a coffee estate. Githogoro sits on a parcel of land where coffee pickers used to stay.
Interesting!
Hello...I'm your sub here asking if you have any video of Ruiru and its environs kindly? And how much is a one bedroomed house in Thome or Roysambu please?
Yes iko. Here it is th-cam.com/video/al808LtLYpY/w-d-xo.html..For Roysambu, also check the video, its here. It has all that info
This may tempt Kassongo to make a land grab. He has already tried in Ruiru.
lol
I live in Ngong.Apart from crazy traffic it's a nice town.The way i see it,Kikuyus and Maasai have very little differeces coz they depends on each other for survival.Maasais are herders while many Kikiyus are butchers.So they do business together.Still the Maasai/Kikuyu intermarriages are the highest from both communities.Still they relate well culturally.
I totally agree!
kweli huku sio kwa mchezo
lol
I remember githogoro ,gachagi from the other side of village market when it was surrounded by coffee plantations in the 1970s
Wow, those coffee plantations would be a sight to see now.
Can you please visit Kiganjo Thika
Its in my bucket list, new year
Great.
Good analysis and I really like your choice of cool & gentle sound you have chosen for this podcast simply because for me (Watching and following you from UK 🇬🇧) 3 hours difference means I can enjoy the video while getting ready.
Wow, thank you!
MR. LONE TRAVELLER MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR 2025 IN ADVANCE. NOW CONSIDER MORE OF INTERNATIONAL DOCUMENTARIES TO FASTTRACK PROLIFERATION OF YOUR SUBSCRIBERS AS A NEW YEAR RESOLUTION.
Merry X-mass to you too my friend...About the year's resolution, from your mouth to God's ears.
ALL SLUMS COUNTRYWIDE SHOULD BE UPGRADED TO HABITABLE AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS, OVER TO THE KENYA KWANZA REGIME. MR.LONE TRAVELLER YOU COULD WRITE A PROPOSAL TO THE PS HOUSING, CS LANDS COPY TO THE PRESDIENT THAT MAY A TURNING POINT FOR KENYA, ALL THE BEST.
I am just a lonely traveler, Lydia
Lydia do you know even know the history of slums and who lives there let me educate you. This are settlements that were given to people who used to work in estates in houses for the rich, so they were given this lands to be close to their places of work so acha maneno ya affordable housing apa
And have the people living there complained??? To any institution ndio useme zi upgradiwe?
Don't give that land grabber who goes by various names such as Zakayo and Kassongo ideas.
@Amwa85Ni kunjifanya mjuaji na hakuna kitu anaelewa, mwambie slum ya marurui imeshinda nyumba ruto anajenga75
Beste yangu aliniambia aliporwa huku ndani, aliniambia nikae rada kama uko kanairo
Hahha
Fun fact people don't know, githogori and marurui are geographically in kiambu(might be wrong on marurui side, coz I can't trace the river) but the river that divides Nairobi and kiambu, is just beyond the original githogoro but due to expansion small part of githogoro is in Nairobi geographically; due to encroachment the river is almost non existent its a stream, githogoro is in kiambu geographically and in Nairobi politically
If I start giving stories about my ventures in githogoro and marurui, now that ola(oil libya) as is tradition with all oil libya stations, its a destination for sherehe, kuja hapo friday, sato&sunday 8:21, we park cars hapo then sherehe bila sheria, no coppa will touch anyone there, yaani ukishajulikana kutoka githigoro-bnd-ola-marurui-rosteers-quiver, wee umehepa😂😂😂, days I hope now are in my past, juu wee, I can mention like everyone in those shops and bars, mungu wangu, ni karudi hizi area unaweza dhani nishawai kuwa MCA
Usipotee mtaa sana
Sorry you didn’t show the real marurui. I live in between marurui and London.This is where high ranking people live eg lawyers and businessmen and women. Your image only featured most of Jua Kali slum. I’m not impressed by your coverage since I’m in marurui for Xmas. I love it here.
Oops my bad for missing out. Definitely I will visit again. Merry X-mass
You forget to mention even mps hukaa marurui
I am impressed with the economic activities that seem to be going on in Marurui. Even the people walking all seem to have a purpose. Thanks for presenting to us this neighborhood that I had never heard of before.
Thanks for passing by
😂😂 eti Even people walking seem to have purpose
Kikuyu town is for Kikuyus
I grew up in Lovington Green, and I used to go to a nearby slum called Waruku to hang out with local folks. Every expensive neighborhood in Kenya has a small slum nearby where workers come from. Also, it is a place where rich folks buy organic farm produce, mainly on weekends. My area MP, then (Fred Gumo), would wait until election day and come to Waruku and hand everyone a 50-shilling note, then disappear until the next election. His goons (Maasai Morans) were extremely violent if anyone tried to challenge him!
Hahha He must have been a very rough politician. I have heard of that place somewhere before
Dope: 'Donkeys run faster than cars'👏🏾😂💯
lol
I'm a big fun of village to town. I think Nairobi is usually overhyped. I lived in Ruiru kihunguro sometimes ago.. I would appreciate to see how the place has transformed.
Thank you for the continued suppport. We will cover it. In the meantime check our video on Ruiru town, we covered part of Kihunguro th-cam.com/video/al808LtLYpY/w-d-xo.html
@@Villagetotowntv I watched that one, I want where you started on the Ruiru video near shell Petro station, now the interior part. Between Railway line and Thika road, from bypass round about upto zetech (or where Thika road branches to Ruiru town.) if you do that I might be touched and do a very good professional logo for village to town.
You covered less than half of marurui 😅
Kwani how big is that place buana
True, arudi atembee vizuri 😅
@@user-kpkxgtj Itabidi tu jamaa amerudi lol
I like this place too much but I stay in Zimmerman ❤
Its a nice place
Nowadays bedbugs is the norm in the Nairobi city, even at public vehicles
Marurui sio slums
Great stuff. Thanks for this. Please show is the next neighborhood called Njathaini and contrast the road condition there with Marurui
Thanks for the headsup, We will check on that

hadi nika google
There is a place called Rayetta once you leave Wanjohi town. The views as you head towards Rayetta, my good God! They are to die for..the roads are bad (last I was there) but the views, the views! You can never get enough of that because you are approaching the aberdare ranges and you are so close to the ranges, you think you can touch them. Growing up, Dec was my best times because we travelled from Nakuru where water, firewood, and fruits were not freely flowing..Wanjohi, Rayetta in particular was a haven for the same. We fetched the firewood from the aberdare ranges and water flowed freely from the rivers. The plums! The open expansive fields! Good good times.
Wow, sounds like heavens. That"s a must visit

Great video & explanation. But the video quality looks like a phone 4K, not camera . Camera 4K is Netflix quality. Even 720p camera is far better than phone 4K, especially color rendering and haze/mist filtering. Anyway thanks
