This Kenyan young Man deserves a credit b'se it's not easy to find a young Man like him whose interested in his country history. I salute you my African Brother, Love from Uganda✌
Beautiful city. I like the way the street is blocked buildings .It has historical monuments. Very inviting. I am planning to visit this city in January. Love from Great Britain!
Woow Mombasa is real beautiful more than Nairobi. This city is clean though it's very busy. I'm from SA I wish to visit Mombasa and Nairobi, their townships in particular. Believe in Kenyans ❤❤❤
Beautiful, I love such cities with lots of history. Mombasa is kind of like Jinja, the streetscape & Architecture but a lot bigger ofcourse. It would make a great holiday destination.
Amazing video, Mombasa looks very smart, soon am coming to visit it. Thanks alot for taking us around the blue and white city. Please continue enjoying your stay in. Kenyan.
thanks ugconnect for visiting kenya msa. big up my bro from kenya. youve made us proud.continue and shout yourself out so we can follow you and give you more people to show around. plus i like the walking and talking. not jus tuktuk all the time but actuallly mingling and getting in touch with others, msa pple are very friendly
Mombasa is beautiful in its own way. I would absolutely not want to see Nairobi-like highrise buildings in Mombasa because that would take away what the city is all about. It is an old city that developed way before all this modernity that is in Nairobi and it preserves very important history as it is. And btw, you'll realize that you need sunglasses and a cap while in Mombasa.
GD morning my favourite vlogger. jana i was a little bit hard on u but viola u r back with a bang. Best video u have done since u came 2 kenya. u have got everything to take u to the top. Kudos bro
Joined this premiere as I was preparing for work and I loved it though trying to make sure I reported to work on time. Now back at the end of the day to enjoy it properly with no interruptions. Samuel is a great historian and storyteller.
Lawrence try the Barbecue Food in Mombasa like Kabab & Chicken 42:41 Tikka as that is where you will get mix culture. NICE!!!! Watching from Calgary, Canada
There are a lot of tuk tuks in Mombasa because most residents in Mombasa don't like to walk mostly because of weather it can really get hot 🔥 here and tuk tuks are mobile/flexible.They can can deliver you even in your home not like matatus that drop you at stage.
Then later you can explore more of the Kenyan coast. Towns like Malindi and Lamu. In Old Town Lamu, the streets are so small that only people & donkeys can pass.
The tour guide is so informed though there are instances he lacked a proper answer but i liked him....Lawrence get a cap and a sunglass plus some pair of shortd if not the weather will do you bad thing😅😅...i laughed with my husband when you said how comes you got yourself into an island ,just how😂,while in Mombasa please give us a tour of Lamu,its the oldest town in Kenya..their culture is so amazing and their way of life. .....and please we wsnt you to showcast Kisumu ,we call it 'europe' its not soo far from Busia Boda
The Tusks were chosen because in the old days ivory was a key component of trade. Tusks were shipped to china ,the Arab world and to Europe. Jewellery, furniture and many more things made out of ivory were very expensive luxuries.
I like the laughter. It's easier to maintain artificial grass than natural one. You don't have to worry much about people stepping on it unlike the natural one.
Mosf of the people in Mombasa are actually Christian. Contra to what people assume. Muslims are not the majority there but there is a presence of them there. Arabic is common to Islam, but that does not make it a common language in Coastal Kenya. Even, Kiswahili is a Bantu language with a SMALL influence from Arabic, German, Portuguese, Persian and English because of trade. Let's not be carried away by false narratives spread over the years. Coastal Kenya is dominated by Kenyan Coastal Bantus who are the original inhabitors of the Coastline. Other people/groups only arrived through trade and settled but never outnumbered the locals.
I'd say it's 60-40 in favor of Muslims. The electoral representation is normally a reflection of the religious dynamics of a place. Almost all MPs and MCAs in Mombasa are Muslims, so are the governor, senator and women rep. Malindi county is where we have a Christian majority.
I beg to differ with all due respect, I have read many of your responses in many clips, u strongly defend Kenya, quick to dismiss rumours and hearsays, very patriotic. I applaud u bro. On Islam, Mombasa is predominantly Muslim, I have lived here and done demographic research., it is indeed a Muslim city and the entire coastal strip. Christianity ndio imeanza kushika, and the wave is moving strong with watu bara migrating in droves to coast, unfortunately through funny churches in Mishomoroni, along Bamburi Kisauni, etc, the "nakurudishia nyota yako or kuinua madhabao doctrine" type, so unfortunate.., I know Mombasa inside out, to the core hadi kwa shrines and MRC (Mombasa republican council) even the current leader is my buddy from mreroni...,
@@sheqel10 Thanks. Census 2019: Kenya had a Muslim population of roughly 5.6 million people, according to the last country census conducted in 2019. Nearly 50 percent of individuals adhering to Islam lived in the Northern-East counties of Mandera (856.5 thousand people), Garissa (815.8 thousand people), and Wajir (767.3 thousand people). Overall, around 10 percent of Kenya's population identified as Muslim. For Mombasa County 450.7 thousand people are Muslim. Comparisons show that in Mombasa, Christians and Muslims (59% and 41%, respectively). According to the 2019 census, there are significantly more Christians (2.4 million) than Muslims (1.6 million) in the six counties of the coast. The government estimates as of 2019 approximately 85.5 percent of the total population in Kenya is Christian and 11 percent Muslim. The thing with Mombasa and the Coastal towns, there are pockets of heavy concentration of Muslims e.g if you go to Old Town all you will see is Muslims, but that is not representative of entire Mombasa County. Muslims in Kenya generally are a small population.
Just to mention a thing Sam missed...arabic has been used in Mombasa for over a millenium...swahili the main language was initially written using arabic alphabets til much later in the 60's
Here they go, trying to Arabize Kiswahili!! If you want to know about Kiswahili and its Bantu connection, engage the Miji Kenda's of Coastal Kenya!! Kiswahili is over 75% Bantu!! The original inhibitors of Coastal Kenya.
@Ug Connect Kiswahili is a Bantu language. Forget this Arabic nonsense. Look for the Miji Kendas of Kenya. Tell them to speak Miji Kenda languages and then compare it with Kiswahili words. Then be the judge. Our history has been distorted over the years because it was being told by foreigners to our land, and they twisted things. Ask Arabs who sold slaves on the East African Coast what happened to them and why the Arabs never write or speak about it!! They were more monster than the white colonizers. They castrated them so they could not sire children. They are the same ones who have twisted the Kiswahili narrative to seem more Arabic than it actually is. Most of the people you see cling to this narrative are Arab descendants or ignorant people who have believed warped narratives that are far from the truth. Africans should tell and start to not just with textbook naratives. We have been lied to for too long because those who were writing our story twisted a lot of things that we must unlearn.
guys understand my point....swahili is a "collection" of languages including arabic, hindi, portuguese and the bantu language.....my point was, swahili had no alphabets of its own back in the day prior to the coming of the british hence the language was written in arabic alphabets....for all arguing please research before blindly stating facts that you are uncertain of....
@@esem135 ooh the slave trades well you forgot to mention the americans and the brits who only abolished it in the late 1800s....before you criticize and ridicule, remember that the arabs are the ones who revolutionalised and brought huge changes and made names for major coastal cities through trade...islands like Kilwa (if u ever heard of it) leave alone mombasa were some of the cities even Vasco Da Gama was mesmerized by its development when he got here...I wonder who fought off portuguese rule in Mombasa and if you know of how the portuguese really treated the locals....
Nobody calls Mombasa "the blue and white city" 😂 I noticed that with some Nigerian's video. Those colours were representing the "blue economy" and Kisumu is also painted blue and white. It's a recent thing.😂😂

I disagree, how can you call yourself a guide/ historian when you say Kenya gained independence in 1964? 😂
The giant tree in the middle of the park is a baobab. In Kiswahili it is called M'buyu. Bats are called Popo.
Thanks for the info

Alright I will
We love you from Kenya
19:31 You saying its hot while upper shirt button is still buttoned.. 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
😂😂😂
Kaka karibu sanaa nyumbani
Enjoying my country but I want to visit Uganda
Maybe artificial grass is because coast is so hot, you'd need to water the grass several times a day.
Could be the reason
Grass is labour intensive to maintain and conserve.
That's true , maintenance will be costly
Its called Mapembeni the ivory. Why ivory because it was a commodity of old trade during those days.
Ooh thanks alot
Mombasa was also Kenya's first capital city.
Nice, Thanks for the info

@Rickman Machakos was second, then Nairobi.
