The kind of infrastructure development and improvement going on in the whole of Kenya,especially Nairobi is actually impressive. Kenya is one big construction site. It should be labelled; CLOSED FOR REPAIR. Everywhere you turn, there's something being constructed. You leave Nairobi for a month and get lost when you come back. Kenya is making major strides.
@@esem135 and try to change themselves.....by the end they will start blaming their fellow Kenyans who are positive about changes as well as to see opportunities..... especially diaspora
They are selfish. These changes might or might not serve us for long for sure but its the many generations to come that will appreciate what was done for the them henceforth. At least we also found it better from how it used to be from the independence era.
This would be a good thing in about a year and will wake up other countries to do the same, maybe. Africa has got too much going for itself to be separated this way. Other countries wil steal their oil and other resources and when its almost gone they will build more solar or battery cars and forbid Africans to add charging stations to their roads, hint hint.
These construction projects are doing more harm than good. The amount of debt Kenya is taking up is unhealthy and unsustainable. In a few years Kenya won't be able to pay its debts and we'll lose all our assets e.g ports, government buildings etc to the Chinese. Also the government will tax us more to try pay the debts hence killing businesses. These debts are in USD hence they keep increasing every day as the KES depreciates. We don't need all these roads, we'd do just fine without them A poor man doesn't need a V8, borrowing to buy a V8 is dumb, he should borrow to buy a vitz. Kenya is like the poor man borrowing to buy a v8
Narration na Drone game yako hunibamba sana..thats why i came to your channel...kila youtuber saa hii akona drones na cameras but the narration is what sets yall apart. Good job bro!!
Congratulations Sir I hope to meet you when you can visit Grenoble France as well as Timişoara România în May 2022. My hometown will be the Cultural Capital of Europe and DRONES are really allowed inside.
If I was Najib Balala I would promote you big time. You bring virtual tours of Kenya straight into our livingrooms. Barikiwa...greetings from within +254...
Great video as usual. One thing i have to say is that the infrastructure development in Kenya in general have been impressive. Keep up the good work Kenyans.
good work right there . what you said about more development coming this sides rather than the fertile area of kiambu is spot on. there need to be yes support in infrastructure but stricter laws to avoid eating into that food basket land when it comes to building residential properties.
Bechtel, an American company was to dual all the way to Mombasa but the talks collapsed. Kenyans need to appreciate their country. Many are very negative and such complainers. Learn to give credit where it is due without getting negative all the time.
Until when the president said that kenya is the sixth biggest economy in Africa that is when it clicked in my mind why nowadays everywhere is just construction ....sorry for the naysayers hata kama hauna pesa kwa mfuko ...the truth shall still remain ni hayo tuu
Nice drone views and seeing that Machakos and Kajiado are taking the burden from Nairobi. Some level of organization is apparent, but need to think of the future 10 years from now - the road should be at least 4 lanes each way.
Great job. On the contrary..... greenery should be a constant in any development. We should be in tune with nature if we are to contribute positively to sustainability.
The shots are great and quality is tops. However, you are missing out on many background work that will improve the updates. For instance, the video mainly covered a stretch of about 5kms only, repeats of area around bamburi and mombasa cement factories, the tunnel, the signature mall and therefore missed out on many others. You missed the steel factories like Devki, Athi river steel (biggest in the region), kmc, Dayster University Lukenya schools, and an actual drive to the junction. The reason being that by highlighting the industrial growth, universities and residential buildings like greenpark, the viewer will also identify areas of investment potential. A small interview with the contractors, engineers, county or city planners can give you a lot of information. Also why the need for expansion and impact to a town like machakos as well as motorists and residents. I love your work and these would be my inputs for quality improvement.
Great drone shots. A suggested improvement to start from one end of the project and show to the other end so that its easier to follow without trying to figure our where the clip being shown is for. Also a map showing maybe the project scope even if its a google map snippet
I agree with @peter muchina. A chronological sequence of drone shots would be better, ideally from one end to the other. I'm not exactly sure where the dual carriage way ends. Either way, amazing work @Afrikan Traveler. You have my like. Amazing as always!!!!
A 6 to 8 lane highway from Mombasa to Kisumu and onwar to Uganda is What's needed. The same for the railways and waterways...... There should be river vessels floating up and downstream to the coast laden with goods....( allows for heavier tonnage and less wear and tear on the roads ) what will get Kenya to possibly be a middle income country. ( Algeria, RSA, Thailand, Chile etal ). Nairobi needs a subway commuter system and serious investment in health facilities and recreational amenities, and services. Basically a £ 75-£100 billion investment would go a long way in realising that..... And also the buildings next to major highways is an eyesore. Gotta get the pedestrians out of major highways.
That's what Jimmy Wanjigi wanted to do under PPP. Either an 8-lane super highway or SGR. But when UhuRuto took over, they became greedy and decided to go for Chinese loans that have no accountability.
@@Leonmuigz it wasn't a pipe dream. It had steps to accomplish through PPP projects. But some guys were too greedy for Chinese loans and over-quoted projects when they took over Govt. Corruption is what's killing the dream.
👉👍👌🇰🇪 - KENYA is and has been Growing year after year after year NON STOP. When I went to "NAIROBI" last time 4 years ago after Not being home for 8 years I Literally got LOST IN NAIROBI a CITY that i Worked for YEARS before moving Abroad. I just Wonder how NAIROBI will look like now next time I get there in 2 more years which will make it 6 Years not being there. I am looking forward to it. Thanks for Showing us Nairobi now AFRICAN TRAVELER. KUDOS.👍👌
The Mombasa-Nairobi Expressway or Nairobi-Mombasa Expressway, also known as the Nairobi-Mombasa Highway, is a proposed four-lane toll highway in Kenya.
Iko poa,I didn't have any idea about this project ,haki Kenya is a hub of construction alot have been done to transform this beautiful country, hope the next president hatakuja Kulala but to continue na hii transformation.
Coffee one day will have better returns than real estate. Why? More people are drinking coffee. Imagine when India and China start drinking coffee who will supply these markets. Coffee can not be grown anyhwere in any country it requires some certain climatic conditions to grow and Kenya being one of a handful of countries and with demand of coffee increasing , it will almost be impossible to meet the coffee demand of billions of people thus coffee becomes a highly sort after commodity. Thats $$$$ to coffee farmers. Infact coffee is the second most traded commodity second to oil. What coffee growing countries need to do is start their own Opec (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries ) basically what this means is major coffee growers need to form their own group like Opec, and then decide on the price of coffee. They can set a minimum price where the price will not go under. This way coffee farmers have a guranteed profit just like oil producing countries under the umbrella of Opec. Kenya needs to lead this idea and get coffee producing countries to form a consortium like opec. Call it OEEC. Organization of Coffee exporting countries.
Very true it is so sad seeing real estate developers and corrupt leaders grabbing the tea and coffee fields so that they can setup buildings for their own good forgetting that tea and coffee farming is value which can help a society for generations and generations to come.
the back and forth edits was about 3 to 5kms as I noted on my observation. Kindly limit the back and forth shots. This leaves our other spots too. A spot like the old small world is missed. AT has high quality videos and background research will complement the content.
Now after atleast president Kenyatta and rtd Prezo Kibaki building roads,we hope new regime coming in office in 2022,shall embark on building industries and factories so that we add value to our raw materials hence create jobs for our people more so young people.
Thanks Afrikan Traveller for another update.However after 58 years of Independence we expect to have the major connecting roads in Kenya do be duel by now.The Mombasa -Nairobi-Nakuru--Kisumu.Nakuru -Eldoret.Nairobi-Nyeri should be duel carriageways.But due to corruption this projects will never happen remember Kenya losses $4.6 Billion a year out of revenue collection off $14.8 Billion to corruption thats is 1/3 of the budget
@@esem135 My friend it's not about being negative it's about talking about the truth.When many of our Kenyan citizens are going hungry and dying to simple disease because of few Kenyans corruption then i will always speak up.
This is all to benefit the new micro cities being built, 1. The Friendship city in Athi River, majour highway from athi river to air port and to westlands, a city taking an initial investment worth 200 billion and will be a special economic zone, meaning taxes will be exempted (a tax heaven) for chinese and " well established kenyan business men" 2. Highlands city by Kenyattas, any body realised the utawala bypass road is being expanded, " well just saying 🤗 you can choose to hte the projects or work your ass off to join them 😂

Okay your intro and video music be fire
I wonder if you could travel from Nairobi to Mombasa to Dar by car on those roads. If yes I'm buying a car when i get back there.
Drive into TZ with Kenyan plates at your own peril if you are Kenyan. TZ police are extortionist when they see Kenyan plates.

The road really needed an expansion ,a dual or three lane road will do the trick 🤔
All the way to Mombasa
@@AfrikanTraveller facts it will be safe and time saving
A three lane dual should be the way to go. They should actually leave a huge median all the way to coast for future expansions.
Nice
