So the guide says Fort Jesus was built by the Portuguese, Captured by the Omans and then the British, and then Kenya! Did Kenya "capture" also or it was "given" to her? 🤔😉 Someone help me here please
Well fell under Kenyan boundaries but I must also remind you british did not leave willingly our forefathers shed their blood and regained our independence and dignity so we captured it..yes we captured it and so is anyother Kenyan territory
Awesome job Afrkan Traveller for letting me travel to Fort Jesus from my home. The tour guide is very good at his job, he's very fast and knowledgeable.
This is one place I would definitely love to visit some day. Your tour guide is so knowledgeable. You can tell that he loves his work. He specks with so much passion. Thanks for this historical tour.
Yes! I feel Like I've been to the FORTJESUS I only knew the place through our History books thanks to your tour guide we have learned alot about it and the old town in general Thanks Bro badaye.
Tour guide, well done!!!!!! You are brilliant and a historian! May you find your purpose and destiny, honestly I am so impressed! Asante kwa tour halisi, for someone abroad it made me homesick and I am so proud to be kenyan.
That guy is the best, I was with him when my Cousin came visiting. I wish ungemwachia akuelezee kwa Kiswahili kisha utafsiri kwenye sub titles. But he's the best!
Great work, I need to sit down and go over again. It also make me look at it in a different perspective. Looking at it a far world away from the caribbean. Great to see the narrative from the Africa perspective. I have to listen and learn. Homework 📚.
Irs been a while since i visited FJ! Beautiful history. The entire swahili coast of Africa up to Mozambican coast is amazing . Good work African Traveller!!
@ afrikan traveler, thanks for this video. You are the only youtuber who had visited a place and took the effort to learn about the place. We Kenyans are so clueless about our history.
Bro your lens has made me complete my thesis. That's why I insisted that you visit Fort Jesus and Old Town. If you could visit Gede Ruins and Shimoni caves I would be more than grateful
Because the Portuguese that built it were Christians, and it was designed in the European Renaissance architectural style - possibly the first outside of Europe.
Nice video. However, the tour guide denies slave trade occurred @ Fort Jesus. Wrong. The Omani arabs also traded in slavery when they captured Fort Jesus from the Portuguese. Also Fort Jesus was used as prison base by the British. Former President Mzee Kenyatta was held at the Fort's prison before being transferred to Lamu.
Rumour had it that place is infested with ghosts and genies. African traveller needs to do a whole night paranormal activity in Fort Jesus. That`ll have millions of views
I wish they took care of it like museums abroad. There was litter on the bottom of the great war memorial, and cracked broken paving on the floor. The overgrown weeds is something that can be dealt with so easily. The whole thing is in need of world class restoration. Go look at 800 year old castles in Germany or Japan still looking immaculate. (I'm not saying repaint it).
Yeah! About rabai the first missionary in Kenya 1844 by lidwin Kraft I think first church was built there in rabai he was a German decent and he translate written German Bible into kiswahili for local to understand.
@@noelwasonga1454 yes and he was the one who introduced formal education, western medicine...baptised the first African (Isaac nyondo)...the German missionaries did lots of things to Kenya but credit was given to British colonialist
@@noelwasonga1454 he also wrote the first English Swahili dictionary...translated the Bible into the local language...freed Mozambican slaves in Mombasa who were on their way to Oman
There used to be slave market in kengeleni a round nyali there back 1800,mostly slave from msumbiji were taken there,historian don't want to talk about that place.
The maritime/general history of the Indian Ocean is very interesting. The earliest recorded voyages and contacts were by the Phoenicians who are reported to have circum navigated the African continent way back in 600 BCE. Later, the Arabs who had tabulated star, celestal charts became master mariners and could calculate "latitude" by using a simple sextant called a "Kamal". Thus they could sail across the vast Indian Ocean, make contact with different nations and trade. Before 1492 (the year Columbus sailed westward and saw the Americas), only the Arabs and the Polynesian peoples of the Pacific could cross oceans using star angles in the sky. The Polynesians however used a slightly different method for latitude variance. Longitude came later on with the invention of mechanical clocks in the west, so the Arabs and Polynesians used the sun or a magnetic compass to determine direction and the latitude variance to determine how far "up" or "down" from the equator they were on the globe.
At 4:52 to 5:03, the guide vehemently denies that slaves were shipped through Fort Jesus. That the slaves were shipped out through Shimoni. Need to refresh past reading.
In the third paragraph,its last statement says that in 1895 Mombasa was declared a Kenya protectorate,Let me correct you so as Not to destort the historical information.In 1895 Mombasa was declaerd a British Protectorate then in 1963 was declared a Kenya protectorate as it was now falling into the hands of the government of Kenya.
The sad part is that Afrikan Traveler has a nice TH-cam tour but the Mombasa county government has none...Najib Balala and the County government should invest in bringing these places to world standards... don't expect to reap benefits where you don't invest. People don't travel from a cross the globe to sleep on beds and swim in big pools in fancy expensive hotels.
Unasema nini wewe, it is exactly the old charms that makes it interesting. If you visited Venice, Italy that has been kept the same way since 1400S and it draws millions of visitors per day. And the river drinks to the high heavens, but this is what makes it interesting.
Greetings Afrikan Traveller, thank you for the tour. Question: Are the Arabs or Portuguese our friends? The correct term is enslaved and not slaves. Thanks for sharing.
The portuguese came to exploit the land. Arabs invested and settled in these lands and even intermarried. Old town is a testament of the arab investment. All those who came to exploit these lands have long gone i.e the british and the portuguese. But arabs have stayed and called this place home
@@shuaibaslam6247 arabs came to east Africa coast to colonize which they did successfully even to date middle east has some percentage of African blood but most of African who were taken to middle east were castrated but then they later changed same way Europeans stopped colonization and also invented in kenya
coastal people called for help from Oman to drive away the portuguese.then the Omani Arabs signed a treaty with the coastal people.Then the Arabs handed over to the British under an agreement or treaty,Finally ,The British handed over to Kenya Under another agreement.Therefore.the Arabs did NOT surrender to the British because of strong weapon.....!! This is False.All the processes went through written agreement.
So the guide says Fort Jesus was built by the Portuguese, Captured by the Omans and then the British, and then Kenya! Did Kenya "capture" also or it was "given" to her? 🤔😉 Someone help me here please
They captured it too, do you see any Britishness there😌😁
Well fell under Kenyan boundaries but I must also remind you british did not leave willingly our forefathers shed their blood and regained our independence and dignity so we captured it..yes we captured it and so is anyother Kenyan territory

And just like that, we've been treated to a FREE Virtual Tour of the Great Fort Jesus in Mombasa, Kenya. Great content as always AT👌
That guide is excellent, he has everything on his fingertips
But in too much of a hurry.
@@cobwebtheorem7538 yes I agree. I felt the same way. It felt like he was rushing the conversation. Is he running out of time?

You should!
With all this knowledge I think this guide needs his own youtube channel.
Omg I’ve never seen such a great knowledgeable tour guide . Very well spoke as well
With this consistency, I have really traveled.... Through your lens

This is a great lesson. Plz take us to Shimoni cave hoping there are no bats anymore. Good job as always. Keep growing...we are proud of you.
Thank you, I will hopefully on my next trip.
Mombasa has the potential of becoming the most visited city in Africa. It only needs a serious upgrade.
Always good to hear from 'watu wa ground' description of a place.
Indeed it is!
If you still around go for the floating bridge
Wow! I have learnt a lot from this knowledgeable tour guide
Imagine going to mombasa and never visit Fort Jesus😆 issa visit soon! Thanks for taking us there👍
Karibu sana, Fort Jesus is a MUST Visit.
I can give you a boat tour around Mombasa on my personal boat...we can fish as well...let me know
Hey I left! Would be coming back soon.

I like that accent
He is one of the best tour guide. Once he guides us
I have been in Mombasa many holidays but this history No 😃✅Good job bro 🙏🏽👍🏽
Thank you, there is always a next time.
I have visited back in 2018 its some nice
An awesome guide there... How much did the tour guide charge ?
Awesome History very important
Yes it was
I have been to Fort Jesus but I learned more in this video than when I was there. To begin with, I didn't even know why it was called Fort Jesus.
Hahaha Karibu.
Because the Portuguese that built it were Christians, and it was designed in the European Renaissance architectural style - possibly the first outside of Europe.
Nice one, bro!!
Thanks Bro.
The tour guide is superb

Yes!!! I wonder why.
THIS is what exactly I was waiting to hear from the guide. Thought I may have missed it in his rapid speech, at times he was far from the mic.
A very good tour guide!
Indeed!
Rumour had it that place is infested with ghosts and genies. African traveller needs to do a whole night paranormal activity in Fort Jesus. That`ll have millions of views
Another one. Beautiful
Thank you.
how can i get that tour guide in mombasa??
Vasco de gama was among the 1st European explorer to explore the whole world.
wow that Fort Jesus tour was executive and inclusive of the rich history...
There's many points he left out. Maybe it was edited. If you have toured the place, you'll know.
Amazing, I hope to visit this place one day.
Jamaa Ameiva historia 🤓

Very hard to understand what the tour guide is saying. He talks too fast with his mask and not directly into the camera.

Called Fort Jesus WOW
Coz it was made in the shape of Jesus on the cross.
