Let's journey together!
Trudy is on her way to Kisumu😆😆😆Damnnnn now i feel flying to Kenya
Too bad wish I was still around the Town... Kenya is beautiful Bro... Will take you around when you visit 🤠
You are all welcome to Kisumu, Afrikan Traveller you can take him along and go all the way to Rusinga Island or Takawiri bay if you can make it. It is a hidden gem
Wode Maya welcome to Kenya Africa is beautiful
I am Maya! Welcome to Kenya bro
@@AfrikanTraveller do Mfangano, Rusinga and Gembe hills.
Kisumu is my favourite Kenyan City. When you land at Kisumu International Airport, you feel like you are in some paradise. The food, the women, the weather. Shocking that most Kenyans do not know how special Kisumu is. My dream is to have a home in Kisumu. Kisumu is home to the sweetest bread in the world made by United Millers.
Kisumu my home, my city. Dala! . Can't wait to finish my current project to go see my folks
You have such a beautiful City wee.
@nilotic tradition 😂Mimi lazima nitembee Kisumu bana.
@AFRICAN TIGRESS hope you will be my host guide when I visit Kisumu. 😊💕💕💕
@@doreenonekalit9888 it would be my pleasure sister
@@AFRICANTIGRESS I am holding you to that!🤗💕💕💕
My first time in Kisumu was via Kenya Railways. From Yala to Kisumu. Then overnight from Kisumu to Nairobi. I had travelled to Yala by bus at night and wanted to return to Nairobi by a different way. It was a wonderful trip. Haven't been to Kisumu for a few years now. This video has reminded me that I must revisit next time I am there.
Yeah you welcome 😊
The Luos are one of the most urbanized and cosmopolitan tribes,2007 political clashes,was a watershed,all Luos in major towns and abroad decided to invest home in nyanza,this has led to a major construction and economic boom in western kenya.This has attracted major investments and migrant communities from East Africa up to congo,which incidentally have always had luo tribes among them and are comfortable coming to settle in nyanza!.
Unfortunately, the train service from Nairobi to Kisumu and then to Butere via Yala is no longer in service. The government has recently announced plans to rehabilitate that line with hopes of completion being accomplished by end of next year.
@@Darubini2 that will spur growth to even pay back Chinese debt, nyanza,western,Riftvalley is the most populous region,passenger rail transport was very profitable in these route,and small scale mama Mboga business,coast was profitable for cargo,you have a railway and functioning port is a game changer!
Indeed you traveled Kenya if yala then Luanda railway station
This is the 1000th time am watching this video 😂... I couldn't be any prouder... Kisumu my home town 😍
Kisumu is the most beautiful city in Kenya.
Im here from ThatGirl Vapwa Namibian TH-camr. I love your channel 🇳🇦🇳🇦🇳🇦
Kisumu...you rock...western and nyanza we have a city to relocate....nairobi is overwhelmed...
Sure
only if the city free's itself from a political cycle of violence
Yep definitely.
@@korawega6293 media isikudanganye
I have never been to Kisumu but I have been impressed with what I have seen...yani hata sijaona karatasi chini Kwa hizo streets Very clean, congrats Kisumu people
Thank you. It is a clean city but we could do more
I was pleasantry suprised when l last visited Kisumu...No littering
Crazily organized city
Man you are creating Kenyan encyclopedia from every corner. This channel should be added to school curriculum. Cheers bro... though fish is expensive in Kisumu coz most of it is shipped to Nairobi.
Totally agree with your sentiments
😆😆😆😆
Lol... I don't understand how fish will be that expensive from the source.
Fish is very expensive
Afrikan Traveller kisumu fishing is minimal because of the water hyacinth spreading over it so most fish come from homebay kindubay and the like
Never been to Kisumu but it’s evident the local government really delivers service. In my opinion this is the cleanest city in our country at the moment. Great job Afrikan traveler.
Thank you.
The county government has only been sweeping the streets within the CBD since the inception of county gvt,the improvement of these roads/streets are credited for agence francais de co-operation,this is a bilateral agreement btwn french and kenyan gvt on cities/towns improvement,the super highways are loans from ADB and WB thruough GOK, for county government to put a culvert,it will need them 30 meetings sitting allowances to endorse a budget for that.
@@stephenokech8516 if they can keep that city clean like that by sitting down for 30 meetings, l recommend more of those meetings in future for all the counties. Those meetings are doing a fantastic job.
That's a very clean City. Congrats to the guy in charge.
It's surprisingly clean nowadays. in the 90s it was a filthy place with raw sewage discharged in to the lake.
It looks really nice and clean. I last passed through in 2018 and I was pleasantly surprised. I remember as a kid, I hated visiting Kisumu because back then it was really filthy
@@afro-centric2653 Leaning from mistakes is the way forward, European cities were at one time more polluted than ours and they turned it around to what it is today. Kisumu is following suit unlike Nairobi which has gone to the dogs
Our Kisumu looks clean now good
Sure is
Kisumu is probably the second cleanest city in East Africa after Kigali
Very clean and organized Town. Hennessies and Luo Billionaires everywhere but i don't say!😆
NAKURU is very clean
@@empress_lisa7877 That Luo Billionaires part,lol.
@nilotic tradition we're talking about kenya 🇰🇪 please, dissappear with your mwanza, can't compare mwanza with NAKURU at all, NAKURU is far much better than mwanza in everything
@@erickmeshac3135 just chill,the person was just giving a point. No need to fight
Beautiful City.
I no longer press mute due to the soundtrack.... African beats going along with the videos kudos bro . Keep it up.
Promoting our African music; heritage
@@oliverowallah4240 Tunapendana by Alpha Mtule.....😉
Always find myself here everytime I'm in TH-cam.. Kisumu city is captivating
Different places have different vibrations that resonate with a person's life frequency. I have found some places that are in perfect harmony with my spirit while others are so disruptive to my frequency that I can't do anything normally and nothing I do seems to work. Kisumu is not only home for me but this city vibrates in perfect harmony with my life's frequency. I glow different when I'm in Kisumu. Thank you for showcasing the beauty and zen that is my home, and I hope that when you left your cup was overflowing.
Out of Topic Madam! 😡 😡

@@Achiemaya90 but I like you.. ❤️❤️
This is by far the best video coverage of Kisumu city. African Traveller's excellent professional work can only be put in the same rank as that of Alex Chamwada report. Keep it up our Kenyan brothers & sisters.
one thing that you will notice when you reach Kisumu...it's the cleanliness and the tidiness of the city. I love Kisumu because of that.
One thing i could tell you African Traveller is that, no matter what problem we have as African community but we have something to smile of, Kisumu is really nice my dad used to tell me the stories about the city the long way back because he has been there, as a Tanzanian with a Kenyan mentor who is native from that town, i enjoyed the video and it was like am dreaming, one day for sure i'll be there, much love and respect to you northen neighbors
Sisi ni zaidi ya majirani, sisi ni ndugu.
Thank you, we complaint a lot and forget to celebrate the achievements we have earned. Hope you will manage to visit the beautiful City some day. Keep the positivity.
@@AfrikanTraveller we human we like to complain than making better what we see that is wrong. We should work to make oue Ksm beutiful city than praising others, thanks for your jobb you make me think otherwise of things.
People always get suprised how kisumu is so clean, beautiful and organized.The media and the region been in opposition has made it to be underrated in my opinion,Kenya government also with limited help towards its growth it still maintains to grow.
People from other regions have this perception that Kisumu is a small village. They get so shocked that there is an airport, top class hotels and lovely homes 🤷🏿♀️
@@bellaolum9768 it stems from the culture of negative ethnicity which we all need to get rid of.
Yes Annabelle spot on I find it weird though that people think it’s a small village.Negative perceptions greatly contributed to that!!!
@Beryl i so agree with you also negative ethnicity.Some folks cannot imagine that there can exist good infrastructure in other places of Kenya.
@King Pablo sure it’s fast growing been there early February.Kisumu moving in the right direction
In fact, l find Kenya towns and villages much more organised than what we have back home in Ghana.
they are, you can compare this city to tamale
in terms of urban planning and infrastructure they beat Ghanaian cities but culturally Ghana is ahead kenya and East Africa to some extent is a bit westernized even the food.
@@9yearsago844 Excuse my language, but it seems you are comparing Apples to Oranges here. Well, I am referring to how organised the cities, towns and villages are in Kenya as to that of Ghana and you are all over talking about the culture and the likes which has no bering or in contention whatsoever to the subject at play right now.
@@charlesquayeboogiepee i was agreeing with you. that's why I started the sentence with "they are"
@@9yearsago844 Okay then, most appreciated. Ghana on the other hand has to learn a bit or two from the urban organisation of Kenya and a few others on the continent to bring our urban planning to the satisfactory norm.
This topic is uncessarly Kenya /Ghana is Africa but KENYAN forever LONDON LOCKED
I have a lot of memory Kisumu the last Time i was there was in 2013 as a student in Kenya we went to nakumat mega and played with bumping cars and i liked the place because they played alot of congolese music everywhere i felt like Home... And we ate fish by the lake!
Minister for health declared kisumu as the cleanest city under stewardship of the one and only Gov ANYONG NYONG'O...maximum respect
Am Ugandan luo and Kenyan Luos with names huh, anyong nyongo in Uganda luo means"I take sh*t" lol.
@@byttlejuice145 LOL

Wow! Kisumu is so beautiful n clean.. I love your choice of music kwanza that dholuo song about Kisumo...
😊😊😊 Asante.
@@AfrikanTraveller who sing 🎤??
Kisumu is such a gem. Never been there but this video really showed how beautiful and clean it is.
most organized and cleanest city in Kenya.
True it's very clean I like it
Trueee that. Very clean
Nairobi is much more organized, ignore the new estates that came up in the last two decades, just that KSM is much smaller.
@@allcontent196 you're dillusional
@@maryjohn1436 clean!!!? Gosh youre making me excited coz am planning to go there soon, hope its true
This video is a piece of art 100%...combined with the good architectual taste of luos in the city...The lake (fresh water)makes it sustainable as a city to invest in now and in future!! Water,rail & air all ticked!
Glad you enjoyed it.
That's one hell of a clean city. Its time for me to go back home.
I live here. Really is a nice city. People are friendly. Streets are clean. Lake is beautiful especially at sunset. Crime is low. Police don’t harass like they do in Nairobi. Weather is always warm and never need a jacket.
true
You harass a Luo in the name of police you must know people
Wanna be my new friend here?
Come back again in 2021 bro and take another video. So much has changed, it's even more cleaner and beautiful with cabro everywhere!👌
Will definitely come Back
Make a video of kilifi town,one of the most underrated beautiful town in Kenya
The Luos are one of the most urbanized and cosmopolitan tribes,2007 political clashes,was a watershed,all Luos in major towns and abroad decided to invest home in nyanza,this has led to a major construction and economic boom in western kenya.This has attracted major investments and migrant communities from East Africa up to congo,which incidentally have always had luo tribes among them and are comfortable coming to settle in nyanza!.
It is better that way. Investment in home grounds will enrich those regions and prevent the massive shift in human capital and demographics.
Does that include kibera kisumu ndogo🤣😂,,
@@mwanikimwaniki6801 The reason why western kenya economy in 80's was booming,was sugar,rice,cotton,fish farming and industries.When this fell apart this people moved to cities and slums.The beginning of haki yetu people!
@@georgebenson2133 Do you know how much it infuriates me that those industries were run down. Aki hii Kenya yetu. Badala ya kupangia mtu kesho yake kazi ni kula tu.
@@mwanikimwaniki6801 th-cam.com/video/JO9Dxl7qXUE/w-d-xo.html they trying to revive them here,imagine a normal farmer with an acre can make a million in a year.i remember those days very well,when bonus came,they were known as sugar,cotton and rice barons.wakikuja Nairobi,these are the people who used to sponsor gor mahia,re union and leopards.People laughed but wezi wameingilia tea,coffee same cycle people from central moving to city,now mahindi am starting to see Rift people pia wamechanganyikiwa.
May God bless those who are doing the cleaning, I mean the ordinary sweepers
Am relocating to kisumu, what a beautiful city !
Last time.... I visited Kisumu was after high school in in 1992. I am planning to return.... Kenyans let's build our internal tourism to spar development.
You won't believe it but I've watched this ten times! The music can't let me stop especially the luo music. Wow, so beautiful!
Damn!!! Thank you.
Kisumu iko organised vizuri kuliko mombasa ukikuja mombasa utalia so dirty
The Cleanest city in Kenya, organized city, beautiful people, the warm welcome by the people in kisumu city always amazes me, people are humble and help each other, i left my ID one time at a mat and a generous conductor followed me for like 50 meters just to give me my ID back leaving the passenger waiting, same happened to a lady who forgot her handbag at a tuktuk, she came back the next day to find it kept for her with all the money inside.
Pure kindness and honesty, how I wish everyone was like that.
Thank you for the compliments. Karibu tena
sure this is kisumu city was in mega city years back kenya yasonga🇰🇪🇰🇪🙏hyo ngoma kali bro....tucheze za kwetu nashkuru
Thanks for showcasing Kisumu in your travels.The pictures and the overhead drone were absolutely superb.Makes me wanna fly home.Thanks man.
Karibu sana.
Nice showing this city
I schooled there at Maseno school all the way from Ukambani.
I was 13-17 yrs i always found the people friendly and welcoming.it is then when i tasted fish for the 1st time ikakua my favourite meal to date .Long live kisumo..
I have waited for long for a nice footage of the city. Worth it
Am glad you loved it.
That music makes me feel as if I was a passenger in the car. Cool 😎 music
Am so happy you loved the music
In my opinion, Kisumu is underrated by the media.
Very underrated.
Love all the pretty trees and building in such a clean city. Wow Kenya is gorgeous!!
Great job African traveller.It's great to witness young men who are positive and optimistic.I am sure you will also cover other African cities soon.
Kisumu is my home 🏡 city 🌃 and growing up it was neat and clean . It fell through the cracks and I must say, though I no longer there my mum tells me after Professor Anyang NYONGO took over , he has restructured the place totally . He gets and got a lot of resistance from people who for 2 decades were used to doing stuff anyhow . The CBD 🏡 estate roads and streets lights are now working . I mean the pavements ! My mom was like you could never wear a decent pair of shoes without a visit to the cobbler ! I cannot wait to be back and structure and leadership was lacking . I’m glad 😃 we are now back in business. Thank you for highlighting my home 🏡 town a wooooop ! 🙌🏾! Greetings 🇺🇸
Beautiful clean and Organized, lovely aerial shots good job men
I used to walk from Xaverian to KCB to see my dad after school. I love & miss Kisumu. Thank you for a bright childhood. I can’t wait to return.
John, checking this out for the 3rd time and I keep coming back for the scenery and the music...just fantastic!!
Thanks Siz, always appreciate
I miss visiting that city. It's 10 times better since last time I was there
So much has changed, the city is super clean.
Agree.
Kisumu is rising. Karibu sana sunset city
Great video .....kwanza the Rhumba in the background its heavenly. KISUMU IS CLEAN.
Good job Afrikan Traveller. Always portraying our beautiful country in very positive light that it deserves. Keep it up!!
Thanks a ton
Wow..Kisumu is organized and clean. That's nice!
Kabisa👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
And this would be the best captured and detailed video of an African city. Kisumu is quite clean with good road network. The climate as seen from the video seems mild. I wish I could visit someday.
It's a beautiful city, you should make point of visiting.
Afrikan traveler you are doing an amazing job showcasing Kenya and showing it to the world. You are much more influential than the whole counties governments. Big up!
Next time you are in town make a point of going to Acacia hotel, and climb to the 7th floor, the view of the L. Victoria from there is breathtaking.
These is amazing.
The city is so clean.
This is really awesome! Kisumu gave us a breath of fresh air, you're doing an amazing job.
Thank you.
Kisumu has grown so much that this video only covered half of it. I like it's cleanliness and organization.
The amount of praises on the comment section is far reaching. But today I found my self enjoying the back ground music.There is something to the music that kinda resonates with the picturesque views in the video..Keep on with the good work African traveller.
The roads a very smooth and well made.
So yesterday I was talking to my half German cousin who hasn’t been to Kenya for nearly 20 years now (I myself haven’t been to Kenya for 7 years). What’s funny is that you popped up in the conversation. I was utterly astounded, I didn’t even fathom that he would know you, let a lone binge on your videos (he literally binges on your videos). Keep up the good work mate.
Wow!!! Am surprised, so much respect for guys who share my Videos.
Afrikan Traveller Anytime my brother ✊🏾
Where are you from?
Bring your money back home, invest home Men

Never again am I believing what the news show us... Kisumu is actually really nice, these newsrooms never show us these side of the towns, just for the chaos... Now its on my bucket list.
You have the same mentality of how whites view Africa from abroad thanks to political brainwashing through the Media
What is Nyeri like or Meru?
Negativity sells, that's what media thrives on
