As of yesterday what you experienced is now business class. They are bringing in real first class coaches with one seat per window with recliner seats, reading lights e.t.c in a few weeks time. The new coaches will be exactly what you would experience in a first class section in a plane. So I guess you will need to do part two of this first class video.
Whether in a shuttle or a bus you have the right to tell the driver to drive carefully. Yiu might be surprised that the others are sharing your views and no one wants to speak. Your safety starts with you by speaking out. Asante
Few years back the Al shabab terrorist real caused havoc in Kenya especially at the coastal area & Nairobi,that is the reason security is very tight at the station.
Am always here to enjoy these beautiful people's vlog so lovely and adorable. Am Kenyan In Texas. I will definately go for SGR and then instead of the shuttle, I will order my own uber.
Safer to fly especially the roads after the rains must be atrocious, and duelling work on the MSA - MLD highway means the journey isnt pleasant. My dad always drove us during school holidays on NRB - MSA route and I ended up doing a few trips myself, it can be dangerous if you're lulled into speeding but if you stick to 80-100kph and set off 4AM it's a thoroughly challenging and rewarding drive
Brilliant, i was born and brought up in Kenya, but I have been away so long and seeing things from your lenses is fun.I used the train last year for the first time and I have to admit I was impressed. A friend booked me in economy and I was horrified at the through of using economy(second class) but I was well positively impressed.none of the back-in-the-day trains with chickens and goats trying to fight for seats lol. You are right, local flights in Kenya can be expensive especially if you`re booking in the last minute.Especially KQ is much more expensive, but Jambo Jet are "fairly priced" I have to admit I have never been to Watamu, always asked myself why go to Watamu when I can go to Mombasa south coast or the north coast.Having said that, I find that Malindi is quieter compared to Mombasa and I think from what I have heard,watamu is even quieter. Thanks so much for sharing
Yes the train was definitely better than we expected. If you haven't been to Watamu yet you have to check it out. It's nothing like any other coastal town in Kenya. Quiet, but full of amazing little restaurants and beautiful hotels. It's like Diani 20 years ago
Big up..nice video and amazing experience you had, next time when you get time you can also try Tanzania electricity Sgr train with 160 km/hr also the double deckers train from Germany and EMU train from South korea..you're welcome!!
@@WhereNextFamily when you go there just tell me..I'll contribute (you and your family) go and return ticket in Business class for Sgr train..doesn't matter where you gonna go..(just for love and appreciation for what you're doing)
You guys in UK must be loaded , see you traveling everywhere & making video’s Europe India Asia USA & Africa . Good luck 🍀 Born in Kenya but cannot afford to go to mother land
We wish we were loaded, but that’s not the case 😊 We’ve spent the last few years building our platform, so now most of these properties invite us to stay for us to showcase on our channel.
BTW speaking of Kenya roads..............it took me over 10 years to travel long distance in Kenya roads (last year)because most of the drivers don`t make you feel very safe. But having done it that once,I'm sure not repeating it any time soon, it was horrible. The plan was to take a bus from Kisumu to Mombasa, but when we reached Nairobi, the driver left and did not come back, we sat there till morning so I left and flew the rest of the way.That`s when I took the train back to Nairobi from Mombasa, very positive experience. Again going from Nairobi to Kisumu was horrible, the journey took 11 hours so I arrived in Kisumu past midnight. I thought "ok it can`t be too bad, kenyans (my kenyan family included)travel by road so I decided to do it again Kisumu -Nairobi................almost missed my midnight flight although I left Kisumu at 9am. So for me road trips in Kenya is a no-no for the near future. thanks for sharing your SGR experience
Thanks 😊 Self drive/rental is an option if you're only going for a couple of days. We go for longer periods of time and like to work while we travel as well. The highway is also notorious for accidents 🙈
Lovely video! One question what items are allowed or not allowed on the train? I saw another video that they do not allow aerosol sunscreen? Is this true?
We used a company for our shuttle. It was called Big Time ultimate transfers. I'm sure they do other destinations as well. You can also just arrive and find one of these guys with signs and they will put you in the right van
Oh I see you're trying to stir the pot here in the comments 😂 You're about have the 254 army coming at you 😉 But in all seriousness I didn't know about the Tanzanian one. Will have to try when we next cross the border 🙏
I'm in Kenya and I can confirm that the security in the SGR is not a joke, when I was going to Mombasa I saw someone getting pinned on the ground bc she had a vape
In the begining when you said that the security was verry high i was honestly shoked because thats what im used to. Do they not do that in the uk🤔? Im going on a trip to malindi on monday by myself and the full price was 18,000
There is no security in train stations in the Uk. Sometimes there will be a police presence but no bag checks or queuing. You walk in the door and get on the train. Sometimes there’s barriers where you have to scan your ticket before it will let you on the train but often you can just jump on and buy your ticket once you’re on the train.
Oh thank you 🙂 I think the station stairs does have a handrail but the stairs cover the whole front of the station so it just didn’t have one on that part. It actually looks like it had broken as there was security tape there
@@WhereNextFamily Don't wait for someone else to notice as you will have prevented an accident occurring in the first place. Speak up and Don't be afraid.
Adam - Check's too thorough I don't know what they're looking for... Adam - My daughter will never ever take the shuttle because of the driving ??? 😀😀😀
There are lots of guys with signs outside the terminus when you arrive. I'm sure you could just approach one and get a ride. We prefer to book in advance though
Tanzania sgr is best and electrified its speed is 160km/h but our Kenya sgr is diesel speed 100km/h when i use tz sgr i felt very comfortable and its smooth noiseless kenyan corruption kill us
Someone has to solve the Great Chapati Mystery. How does that magnificent flat dough keep appearing on your plates? Check the internet and it seems the threat of terrorism is rearing it's ugly head again in Africa so hence the security checks. Be safe Where Next Family.
Chinese are OK.....the projects are costly , but I prefer this to other foreign friends who want to lend Kenya fighter jets ,,guns , bombs, military training , etc ..... which are also costly loans !!!!
Personally I disagree on the comfort side. I found it very comfortable, and lots of space to love around that you don't get on a bus. It's also much much safer than taking the bus. I know the train is not within everyone's budget, so of course in that instance then the bus is the obvious choice, but personally I would pick the train over the bus 10 times out of 10
I think it’s fine to comment on things that we haven’t experienced before, and sniffer dogs at a train station is something that’s new to us. Did we criticise? No, we simply commented on it.
They relocated from "somewhere" and chose Kenya... why? I have no idea especially now where Kenya is approaching a boiling point in a cold war between a corrupt political class and a younger generation fighting to liberate itself from the shackles of oppression, poverty and exploitation that is day to day life of the average Kenyan. Accent sounds British-Canadian
We chose Kenya because we love Kenya 🤷🏻♂️ We’ve spent most of the last 10 years exploring the world and Kenya to us is the place that feels most like home.
Great review Adam I would feel the same about the shuttle bus 🫣 so just to confirm you prebook SGR online before going to the ticket counter in the terminal? I reckon the SGR is good if you’re headed to Diani but Watamu it’s probably better just to fly 😅
Thank you 😊 yeah sometimes you get a responsible driver but unfortunately a lot of the time these guys are on the clock and they do this route so often that they go into autopilot. Yes, you book your tickets online, then collect at the station on the day (give yourself an hour before your train). Tickets sell out so I wouldn't advise trying to buy on the day.

Yes agreed if going to Watamu I'd definitely fly in future, however going between Nairobi and Mombasa I think the train is a very good option.

We saw! Looks cool but it’s the price of a Jambojet flight to the coast and takes much longer. I think we’ll stick with flying for now 😉

Thank you for coming to my counrty love ya all
Thanks for having us 🙏
May i ask ...during the security checks is one allowed to take in drinks please?
Yes they are just checking for weapons etc.
But they dont allow any alcoholic drinks in your bags
Lovely video! One question what items are allowed or not allowed on the train? I saw another video that they do not allow aerosol sunscreen? Is this true?
That’s a good question. I think they are only looking for dangerous items. We had no issue carrying sunscreen and aerosols (at least nobody told us)
Could you explain more about how you got the shuttle? Was it booked ahead or there specific shuttles that would go to Diani for example?
We used a company for our shuttle. It was called Big Time ultimate transfers. I'm sure they do other destinations as well. You can also just arrive and find one of these guys with signs and they will put you in the right van
@tpinto
When you get to Mombasa terminus shuttles and nissans to different destinations are available
Tanzania's SRG fast train came into operation last week.. it's a little more luxurious than the one in Kenya.
Oh I see you're trying to stir the pot here in the comments 😂
You're about have the 254 army coming at you 😉
But in all seriousness I didn't know about the Tanzanian one. Will have to try when we next cross the border 🙏
please, relax and quietly return to your corner
But it covers a smaller distance though...
You're right, but there are better trains everywhere. 😂😂😂
You’re right but does it pass in the middle of your National Park
Ese tren se ve muy moderno
Yes it’s not bad. We have definitely been on much worse 😉
second class also gets tables, the seats face each other like in a restaurant
How is the comfort?
I'm in Kenya and I can confirm that the security in the SGR is not a joke, when I was going to Mombasa I saw someone getting pinned on the ground bc she had a vape
Oh wow! That’s crazy.
I think solid security is important, but restraining someone over a vape might be overkill
In the begining when you said that the security was verry high i was honestly shoked because thats what im used to. Do they not do that in the uk🤔? Im going on a trip to malindi on monday by myself and the full price was 18,000

Oh that's for sure. Trains in the UK are a joke! SGR was great 👍
How can you have stairs with no handrails? I have a broken leg. 😮
I’m not sure which part you’re referring to 🙏
@WhereNextFamily At the start. Im from Rift Valley. Your video was so good. Full of many details.

I think the station stairs does have a handrail but the stairs cover the whole front of the station so it just didn’t have one on that part. It actually looks like it had broken as there was security tape there
@@WhereNextFamily I see. Thanks
I'M thinking about your daughter, who has travelled all around the world at a very young age
She has seen a lot! 🙂
You must always speak up your mind and let them know you're not comfortable with how the person is driving.
It's true. But nobody else seems to think his driving was a problem 😂
@@WhereNextFamily Don't wait for someone else to notice as you will have prevented an accident occurring in the first place. Speak up and Don't be afraid.
Adam - Check's too thorough I don't know what they're looking for...
Adam - My daughter will never ever take the shuttle because of the driving
??? 😀😀😀
😂 didn't say "too thorough" I said "very thorough" and that it was a good thing 😉
Would you pay for a seat for an 18Month baby or hold her for the ride? is there space for maybe a carseat/stroller for a baby to sleep?
I’m not sure. I think an 18 month old would be free but best check with the agency we’ve linked in the description
Do you know whether it's possible to book the shuttle from the Mombasa station to south coast in advance? Thanks.
There are lots of guys with signs outside the terminus when you arrive. I'm sure you could just approach one and get a ride. We prefer to book in advance though
Thankyou
