Dan & Oskar, your timing hit right on Giving Tuesday...at least here in the US. Hope one new Bin helps! The challenge seems monumental for two guys there on the ground, however one day at a time and they can make a difference...especially with you two spreading the word. I trust your judgement in the telling and for the fundraiser.
Couple of questions clarifications about the Police incident, Dan, maybe you'll answer *On Air with Dan and Alex* tomorrow, if not yet recorded. First, were they confirmed City or State Gov Police or glorified Mall Cops exploiting their uniform & power out to make a buck? Dan did you show the copy of your US or your Swedish Passport and why the choice?
Were you targeted as two rich white dudes with a camera? They must have some dough.
Did you report the incident to the US Consulate? (Don't know how Swedish Gov works.)
Reporting to US State Dept, not that they interfere and possibly endanger Sabine and her boyfriend, but so there is a record. As an older Solo traveler, I have relied on the (US) State.gov site and email and SMS alerts for up to date information about where I go and the dangers that are locally known by State. [If you've never looked, check out what is available for a US citizen abroad, your opinion on it's thoroughness from your real world experience would be really helpful! I may be over relying on their knowledge base.] The Consulate and Ambassador needs to know what travelers are experiencing so they can include it it talks, and that only happens if it gets prioritized because people report incidents.
Please also talk about what you might do differently in future, and more advice on how to act and react. I assume age and gender make a difference? When should you ask to speak with a Senior Police Official or next step to a Consular Official (without escalating the situation)?
So sorry you two had to join that group of Experienced Travelers who've been hit up for a bribe, and so glad it's behind you now, and you are both okay.
Hey, tried to donate but the fundraiser is off?
Hi @OskarandDan, thanks for the video. Just a quick reminder, the govt actually knows the number of residents of Kibra aka Kibera. In the last national population and household census done in 2019, it was found that the district is home to roughly 110,000 souls (way down from what UN and World Bank had initially estimated to be 1 million). Otherwise, save for your encounter with local law enforcement agents, I hope you had a good time in the country, and look forward to coming back again.
Thank you for telling this story!! Stories like this need to be told so governments can feel more pressure to actually help there citizens.
What an experience for sure..sorry for all that.. after the past attacks and security concerns we've had in Kenya, most if not all public spaces now have at least these two Police officers with the scary machine guns... even as a local I've been stopped a couple times by the security guards just because of taking photos but never an aggressive encounter like you guys went through...
Thanks for the Kibera video; as a Kenyan I have never visited the neighborhood and it's amazing how the locals are helping improve the garbage disposal.
We truly appreciate the risk you take to make sure we have a video to watch. Thanks for tagging us along your adventures 🎉❤
Love your travel vids! Given the rampant homophobia in Africa you are lucky,. The police situation could have gone much worse.
Kenyan police are just corrupt, they wanted money. Although a number of Kenyans exhibit homophobia, it is yet to become a significant social issue in Kenya so police won't care about your sexual orientation.
Kenyans typically don't care.
you wrong! in Kenya is rare to be harrased for your sexuality. unless you are provocative
tell me what qualifies as "provocatively gay"? I'd like to know before I risk going - what happened in the video was bad enough to be honest @@seangitari4671
We have gays too. Some are influencers actually, with their life on limelight and nobody cares. As long as you remain respectful to the society
Thank you guys for having the courage and integrity to film such trauma in Nairobi. Glad you lived through it & will no doubt be the talk of the town for years to come.
Proud of you both ‼️
Thank you for always being honest and not shying away from sharing difficult situations.
I'm sorry you were treated so badly, but I'm glad you were able to leave the situation safely.
Actually 170,000 people live in kibera it is only exaggerated by NGO s to entice donations which mostly don't reach the locals
Fascinating video. Glad you are doing a fundraiser. You two do an amazing job educating us. Thanks
Wow Oskar, what an eye opening and scary experience. I had a similar experience in Mexico trying to cross the border in Tijuana and a police officer pulled us over, said we were speeding and then proceeded to bribe us. We ended up paying him $20, but it’s definitely a scary situation. This just shows you it can happen anywhere at any time. Great video as usual. ❤️✈️
So sorry that happened to you Diane🙏🏼😔 Thank you as always❤
You guys put out terrific videos. RESPECT!
Once we improve the slum, you will never see these enemies from Europe in kibera again
Thank you Oskar and Dan for sharing the good and the bad.
It was great to see Kenya through the eyes of a native and through the eyes of visitors!!
Always always a great video!! 🫰🫰🫰
Fantastic and informative video as usual! Thanks for sharing 😊
I am so happy that you all are safe! Your kind hearts always shine!
This is one of your best videos. Thanks for making it.
Thank you Oskar and Dan for sharing the good ❤
Welcome to Kenya, just subscribed, great content!!
So wish you could visit the deaf orphanage that I am a part of!! The kids and staff are amazing Kenyans:)
What’s the name of the orphanage?
Good job with the fundraiser 👍
Bravo to the youths who clean up the world in many countries, educating people on waste management is important too. We have issue in north Borneo where water villages discard garbage into the sea!
That's one beautiful couple. I wish them all the best.
Wow FASCINATING & DRAMATIC vlog.
That must have been a traumatic experience but you seem to have handled yourselves with aplomb. One must go through these things from time to time when traveling in order to get the real perspective. I’ve only been to Africa once (Morocco) so I look forward to more Kenya content.
(Ps. om den tik sa till mig att hon ville ha en europeisk pojkvän, skulle jag ha sagt till henne att hon inte hade råd med mig.)
Much Love from Kenya 🇰🇪 O&D WE LOVE YOU ❤❤❤❤❤
Mafi...shode
Heys from I'm your biggest Fan here in Kenya,Thanks for visiting Kenya, please visit other areas of Kenya too
My country is a country of “Toa kitu kidogo”meaning a bribe its not only for tourists even us the locals go through that type of harassment.sorry you experienced that.but Kenyan people are welcoming i pray you have more good experiences in your trip.🙏
I’ve been following you guys for so long and I’m so excited you finally came to Kenya. I’m so sorry you had to go through this but our police is something else. I hope you enjoy the better parts of Kenya and visit other beautiful places. I love you guys and I love your content. I’m so happy you came to Kenya though. So happy.
Awesome job guys thumb up to you both
And to be clear, if they told you about getting lunch, that was the smooth way to bribe before getting into the hut. Give him something small (like 2-5k KSH) and that's it. Or have all your stuff in order, but that includes having your Passport with you at all times, something I'd avoid in Nairobi.
Great job high lighting these horrid situations, I would be too scared to go to Africa because of this, it's not worth it when there are so many countries that treat people fairly. I am new to your channel and look forward to following your travels.
thank you for this video it wasn’t much but i donated what i could ❤❤
Thank you for your generosity🙏🏼❤
Having been in Kenya couple times, nothing like that had happened to me. Sounds pretty frightening. You guys are very brave. Personally I prefer to stay in a gated resort when I’m in Nairobi where possibility of someone pointing a machine gun at me is slim. Safe travels. Hope safari was fun!
Welcome to Kenya again and again.i have been to kibera twice but it freaks me out.but i feel the people living there are nice people but some are just rowdy.sorry for the harassment.the problem with my country it’s corruption.thats what we need help from like seriously.coz if there was no corruption all those people could be evacuated and that place destroyed.it’s saddening for sure.
Funny to show a country in Africa, you must go to the slum but NOT show the development of this country! Thank you for the advice. Africans must go to the ghettos, the slum and show very quickly the development of so-called developed countries. Only bring those slums and ghetto pictures to our fellow citizens!
We explored the modern side of Nairobi in our previous video!
well how about African do something for themselves... come on Wakanda where are you... stop the preaching mate and show us. Dan and Oskar went with the friends to the so called slum. Don't be an embarrassment to yourself and your people
@@phunk8607 Coming for a guy that thinks that Africa is a country!
I had a very similar experience, at the junction mall, hao watu sijui ni aje, mind you I'm a local😂😂
this happened to me today at junction mall except for the gun pointing
WOW !!!! PERSERVERANCE IN ANY SITUATIONS YOU BOTH ENCOUNTER. XOXO
This is so disheartening and discourages so many travelers from visiting so many beautiful countries in Africa. I’m glad you are both okay.
Well said. I can't believe they tried to consficate the passports
Have you disabled the fundraiser? I tried to donate.
Junction Mall being the absolut worst as always. 😂
It's in the afternoon taking cows for a walk😂😂😂
I volunteered as a nurse last year at a small hospital in Arusha, Tanzania. The program director was adamant that each of us go to some random kiosk place in a mall in the center of the small city to get a photocopy of our passport STAMPED with our arrival into Tanzania and to never carry our actual passport on us. This gave me the impression that in some countries, at least, it is perhaps not even sufficient to pull out an older photocopy of the passport. It drove home the point that our passports are truly precious and they can most certainly be used against you in dicey situations.
You're absolutely right!
11:50 girls here need to see this . 16:20 we once had the case of two brothers... sorry for the harassment. the imigration department needs to get this. 19:39 , you get hard around here. 19:51 :Dude that is soo true!!! 20:37 some have the old mindset... if you know what i mean.
No wonder was like their accsent sounds a bit somehow not a native englosh speaker,Karibuni Tanzania
Grew up in kibera, a home for many dreams, innovative ideas, great individuals come from this place.
Ok I thought non stop Dan was American😀 I guess I have watched maaaaany of his vids😁
Next time take a insta Go 3 its not soo visibal When recording,police and security always find fault When u have a Camera .Hope that at the end of the Day u have a good time in My country Kenya
But how much was the bribe!?
18:27 🤣
Terrorism is so bad and unexpected in Kenya that security is usually way higher. I’m sorry y’all experienced that they could have definitely handled y’all situation better.
Go to Addis Ababa Ethiopia 🇪🇹
corruption is the name of the game in most african countries. current govt has contributed to the worst situation right now. so sorry for your experience hope this video get's to the necessary authority because awesome contents like yours is free marketing of a country.
You should as well visit Tanzania/ Zanzibar well learn few phrases of Kiswahili unlikrle Kenyans we dont speak much of English so u will encointer much kiswahili while in Tanzania+Zanzibar but sribu saana
Are you going to visit the bahamas?
We've been! It's in this video :) th-cam.com/video/jD90j4atBvU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=UDDjQybcSzllJzrG
try real KENYAN cuisines ie githeri, nyamachoma chapati, mukimo etc and try a ride on manyanga matatu plying to these routes buru, rongai , eastleigh, thika road
Where was the coffee shop you met your Swedish friend at called? Heading to Kenya soon and need decent coffee shops 🙌🏻🙏🏻 thank you @oskaranddan
I was a UN volunteer in Kibera for decades. I laugh at people without a clue.
The police can confront you especially on malls because of terror threats on malls since we are neighbouring Somalia.Though it's rare for them to point a gun @ you.Honestly i didn't believe that part.
How incredibly scary! Thank goodness you guys are okay.
Haha jag trodde ni var amerikaner 😅 ny följer kul att höra svenska 😊
Omg Sabina älskar henne och mikes story ❤
And people think they are poor in the United States!! They need to see the slums of Kenya!
Guess the comparison will make them feel better.....
Nairobi rain caught y'all 😃The police were probably trying to extort you.
You are very brave to travel so much and especially to places like this. As a gay man I wouldn’t have the nerve.
zlatin Ibracadabra 🤣😆
Omg , it exiting to travel as a tourist but for living there you have to be addicted to something to cop the depression
This is in no way to justify the police behaviour, (we all dislike Kenyan security guards and police conduct) BUT In Kenya's defense as a Kenyan born and breed,we have had a series of terrorist attacks in the past so in an attempt to mitigate more terrorism filming is banned in some areas like malls and airports. Incase y'all don't know about the westage attack in 2013 that was a wake up call for the country.
And if it's true they paid a bribe (and not a legit fine) then they're part of the problem. I wouldn't have paid a cent. The police who worked that mall can be easily identified by providing the time of detention and they'll lose their jobs.
I have had an encounter with the guards for taking photos in some malls but the encounters were cool and not this aggressive.
@@morriskyalo7152 Same for me. I was politely told that photos and videos are not allowed.
I wonder compared to India, which is bigger
Much smaller than numbers claimed. Real poplulation is 170K. Not even top 10 in Africa. International "charities" use inflated numbers to fund their lavish lives in Nairobi.
Instead of Kenyans getting offended by these type of videos we should instead focus that distaste to the injustices done to this country and it's pple by the pple we've elected years gone by. Kibra poverty is NOT moukoko poverty
Kenya police always bends over backwards to prove they are prinmitive
So sad in 2023 that someone can lose friends because of dating interracially.
Kenya has had terroriist attacks in the past that's why armed security in the city is now taken for granted. To be fair, Kenyans now feel safer this way. They didn't make you delete the videos because they saw they were harmless. But sad your first (and probably last) experience of Kenya was so traumatic.
I have been to Nairobi several times. It is not a good place to visit. Where to start? Although Nairobi is on the equator the weather is very unpleasant. It rains a lot, its always cool it is a high altitude swamp. The route from the airport to the city is subject to constant car jacking. Most of the city at night is riddled with robberies. I only went there to transit to Tanzania which is 100% better and well worth viviting.
Let me guess you are Tanzanian
No I am a UK citizen
That an alien city not Nairobi,
Ah, the colonizer complains 😅
Next time ypu step in kenya we will arrest you
Thanks for posting this it's sad the country isn't helping but I did a gofund me donation wish I could have done more but being old as dirt on a fixed budget sorry. Debbie Cook
Just a heads up, filming in Kenyan malls is a bad idea especially after the Westgate terrorist attacks in 2014. Practically taboo.
I hope the "officials" dont see this video and start harassing your friends for cash...
Bribes are common in this part of the continent. They wont
@thejunctionmall your security embarrassing Kenyans. Heads need to roll
Lol, so y'all did Kenya to show what the Western media still shows in 2023... Kibera is well known as the go to place for NGOs to get funding and still do nothing about it. Of all the places in Kenya to visit and showcase, this is what made sense? Anyway, get your views, get your funding... Kudos to you.
Did you even watch the video? We went there because our friend's boyfriend grew up in Kibera.
Sorry about the police thing. Currently the govn't is trying everything to kill everything good. But I loved the video.
I wanted to donate but you disabled I dont know why
I honestly don't like how this guys are showcasing kibra and giving as information that that is not true ....... do your research first and give us authentic information
Huwa mnanibamba. They're literally fundraising for the Community. Wewe probably unaishi in those informal settlements in kayole or Eastlands. Hujawai fika kibera unataka tourist wakuje waonyeshe westlands & kilimani a place you probably will never live in your lifetime 😂
Funguka akili kidogo this places kama kibera deserve to be shown to the world not hidden
Which authentic information ? 😂 Wise up.
I watch lots and lots of vloggers. Old and not in the best health, vloggers provide diversion. Speaking just for my self I have seen just about enough slums to last a lifetime. I live in America but have lived overseas for many years. Guess what slums in America too. Shanty towns, tunnels under Vegas full of homeless junkies. In my own city blocks and blocks of tent cities. Slums are not entertaining and the most redundant video a blogger can put up.
Those poor Africans. I will donate all my used clothing to them.🤪
Oh hail the white saviour
Zlat1n ibracadabra
I felt really bad for you in the end of this video 🥲
