As a black American having lived in Nigeria, Ghana and now Kenya. I would have to say Kenya is way better in terms of technology, hospitality and weather. I moved from Nigeria to Ghana and eventually settled in Kenya. I am 3 years old in Kenya and love it. I regret going to Ghana and Nigeria
Kenya has modern western conveniences and outstanding natural beauty, wildlife, and beaches. Mild highland weather, reasonable prices, and friendly locals. Businesses that don't display their prices can fleece you. That's why I prefer supermarkets despite being Kenyan born and bred and 47 years old. Happily married for 15 years with 3 boys.
As a Black American tourist/businessman, I was always able to get a fair deal in Kenya. I found it to be a very progressive nation - full of intelligence and friendly energy. My only issue was with the police and their constant efforts to rob me.
Its so true what you guys have said, am a Kenyan myself and I was in and out of the country work and all for many years and when I finally came back to settle, Everything is a Vibe, from women they go for what they want and they are straight forward. Kenyans are very welcoming and very friendly, Party life is a whole lotta Vibe. Infrastructure is great you will definitely feel at Home for most people. I have been to other African countries but the Most balanced country in African is Kenya. It just offers so much than other countries.
Interesting 😊 really enjoyed the interview. The best thing about Kenya is that nobody cares about where you're from, everyone minds their own business 🇰🇪
True. Bargaining is a time-honoured tradition in Africa. If you don't, sellers assume you are too rich to care what the price is. Obviously, you can't do that in supermarkets. Btw they try to overcharge wealthy-looking Kenyans too! And that is why, most of us dress down when we shop in certain places like open-air markets!🤣🤣

The fact that that “mistake” (being charged in USD rather than local currency) happened 3 times in 3 different countries leads me to believe that it wasn’t an accident… ALWAYS pay in local currency. And make sure that you have an idea of the correct price before buying.
@KanuMoto… By the way he described it it was user error (by the salesperson) rather than faulty equipment. Regardless, any shopkeeper should be making sure that the price registers as correct before passing the terminal on to the customer.
I don’t see it as fraud…most likely, the cashier or whoever was running the transaction is an employee of the business and wouldn’t have been obvious that they’d directly benefit from the money if it had gone through.

One thing I will always criticize returnees is their apparent unwillingness to learn the local languages and integrate thereby. A good number of them don't even make some type of effort! Especially if you're in some East African countries, you can't tell me Swahili is too difficult to learn.
If you dress like you’re abit wealthy, you get higher prices everywhere. We say, there’s a price for everyone! I’m Kenyan and bargaining is not my thing too. With time people get used to their tactics but it’s really hard
Very interesting conversation. I am not sure if African Americans will come to Kenya in the numbers going to West Africa, like countries Ghana and Nigeria. For one, the Ghanaian government is offering them a lot of incentives to return to Ghana and bring their money with them. Some are very wealthy especially from Washington DC working for the US government. I see FB groups of ex US government employees moving to Ghana especially as they like to say, as Repats and not Expats. The Kenyan government should also try to tap into that great financial resource system, bringing in US dollars to Kenya. However, some of the reasons for choosing the West Coast is from finding their roots and DNA tests. Most English ship merchants and captains that moved Africans from the West cost of Africa to the Americas. The Portuguese on the other hand took Africans from their colonies in Angola, Mozambique (and even Zanzibar and Mombasa) to Brazil mainly. (Some Africans were taken as slaves to Goa, India by the Portuguese. However, the Africans revolted in Goa and fled into the interior of India, mainly in the State of Karnataka where their descendants continue to live in, today. They are know as 'Siddi', a name they gave themselves. A popular Kenyan YTer went out there to meet them, thinking that they would want to know about Africa and would want to return to the homeland, but they were not interested at all. He raised a lot of money from mostly African Americans who assumed that they felt the same way as them in America, and were too poor to return to Africa. I don't know what became of all that money although a Nigerian was suing him and sister for some money of his. The Siddi said that they are very happy in India, they speak the Indian languages and don't have anything left of their former lives. They expressed no interest at all about coming to Africa, completely unlike the African Americans. And these Siddis people get an education, jobs and housing. In fact they lived in very decent housing that is well laid out and the best thing was that it was very peaceful. They say they live with their doors and windows unlocked as they have zero crime. They talked about having to face crime in Africa if they returned and even Kenyans agreed that they were much better of living in their peaceful villages. The Catholic Church with priests from Goa take care of the villages making sure their needs are met. Some have graduated from university but come home to live because they like their peaceful life. Who wouldn't want to live with zero crime?).
Correction the Portuguese took people from CONGO Angola didnt exist back then that entire area was congo those same people were scattered across Dominica guadeloupe and martinique
Another african youtuber from ivory coast went to India and visit the siddis. His channel is visual poet. He has several videos with them. And on his videos they ask him about Africa and how they want to go back. They tell him about their african roots. They also told him how the Indians treated shunned them and how life was difficult for them in India. So what is the channel of that african youtuber of yours?
Oh yeah tell the brotha tu go tu Bogani, Bogani is a shopping center with alot of small shops, it's located in Karen, the lady charged me less than ten dollars tu take ma hair down, and she did not knot my hair up, she took it down perfectly, she washed it, blow dryed it, oiled my scalp, and braided it, I tipped her, and I went tu a tailor in Bogani, it's not far or tuu far from galleria mall, but tell brother tu go tu bogani
The usually have standard prices so they shouldn’t hike the price on you. For the braids I know they can charge up to 2k depending where you go and the type of braids. I honestly don’t think they hiked the price on you specifically for what reason
Good interview Fam! With all due respect and i'm only saying this to offer constructive criticism. That "you no what I mean" every other sentence is annoying AF!
Austone Hollemann please thanks for being kenya friendly ambassadar, But remember kenya _ Africa is a barghain culture which many cannot do when your from for example U S A / Europa. Try to ask for a second pricen which might be easy to pay + lower abit. thst will try to bring the higher price lower.

@@antony6799 I speak Spanish and Portuguese and they are different. And most of the Americans going on holiday do not speak Spanish nor Portuguese like that. Even Spanish in Europe have some difficulties hearing or talking Portuguese besides some words they have in common
Don't feel bad about inflating prices to foreigners because they do that to kenyans living in America and Europe.And that is because they believe money grow on trees in America. So don't think they do that to you because you're American or a foreigner.
Yes, Kenyan students pay 3 or 4 times what American pay. That is a FACT all over the US. I hate when foreigners complain about a few kshings, when Kenyan students studying in the US pay thousands of dollars more in school fees in college.
@@africaine4889 I get your point..Everyone wants to be treated equally. But he also talked about the National Parks charging foreigners a lot more in entrance fees, than locals. Which is why I reminded him that Kenyan students pay 3 and 4 times the fees at a university in the US than in the American students pay in fees. It is a considerable amount!
Fella say a haircut is like $3 but the barber shop try to charge him $10 or $15 but say even though they try to fleece him it is petty. Big man if pricing is an issue that is a big problem cause that is like thieving. When you pay that it mess up things for everyone. First you ask the price and if he say $15 you simply leave and do not encourage that fuckery. I got a haircut in one latin country for 300 pesos which is less than $3. You cannot take these things as a joke as a tourist because you mess it up for everybody. Once you ask the price then you can know whether the fella trying to thief from you. They are basically thieves because if the standard price is say $5 and the fella trying to hit you for $15 that is basically thieving. Stop trying to big Kenya up if they doing that shit because overcharging you is a big problem in any country. Once I see that I lose interest in that country unless I am hanging with a local who take me through all the ropes.
Africans culture is known for bargaining and haggling. When you go out there that is what you suppose to do. Don't be timid haggle them down to a lower price.
Exactly, pay what it cost. Paying 3 times what you know it costs is dumb and cowardly. Then he went into "business oppurtunities"... If you can not handle negotiating a $3 haircut, how can you handle real estate deals for WAY MORE money? These amatuer acting as businessmen crack me up!
They gotta feed their families too. Bargaining for 10 bucks. Stay in America don't travel. I'd understand if they were charging him like 40 bucks. And if he bargained, he could probably get it all done for 6 or 7 bucks.
@@felosopha445 You really sound dumb. Because you want feed your family you would thief from others or try to rip them off. I do not live in the states and then I would not want be around people like you all. This is why I never really thought about going to an African country cause your mindset is a turnoff. Take your ass and go work for a fair days work and stop acting like someone suppose to take care you. You need to put your diapers on.
@@felosopha445 There are people that travel and those to whom the entire world is their home (Living abroad fulltime). Overpaying the going rate is simple ignorace of how the Matrix actual works. Why not overpay everywhere you go it is the perception is you have more "money" than the service provider? If anyone is unable to understand this spiritual truth, they are a person with a job, that is for sure. I myself use to be one of those people myself so I know how their unawakened mind rationalizes situations. I am glad I finally woke up! These days, I own every minute of my time. Wisdom is key...

Do you have to have a permit of some kind? And is it easy to get. I visited India and it is virtually impossible to do that and they will arrest you and throw you in jail for a long time.
Auston, visit tea plantations in kiambu which is very close to nairobi. The landscape and vegetation is similar to Rwanda. Another place of intrest is the escapment in limuru where you can see rift valley. Its magnificent to see.
Are you getting used to those cigars? Could swear you said you didn't like them in previous video.
I didn’t say that haha. They just made me sick because I overdid them
Good interview!
Thank you!
Thanks for the content brother. I hope you know just how much of a inspiration you are to people. I hope we can do business together one day and make some things happen 💯.
Bro I’m glad your happy!
The move by President Ruto to welcome African Diaspora will reap big.
African Americans have been coming to Kenya even before Ruto became president.
@@stephenodhiambo7556 African diaspora. Note that. African Americans are just one part of it.
I can't wait to visit. I'll be sure to respect the local customs and traditions. I don't want to ruin our welcome.
@@PrivateSmiles Kenya is a very vibrant nation. You won't regret. Consider moving there permanently 😅
@@alexkibe4179 Thanks. Just too many westerners showing up at once can ruin a place. Speaking from experience.
Love your work. Keep grinding. My channel is new and I am inspired by you my bro.ive traveled abroad for over 30 years. It's great
Love this idea interview. Great conversation
Loove to see AA feeling welcomed ......
Always call them out on price gouging...Never allow them to go unchecked..Always pay in the local currency also.
Aston you need to visit Mombasa..
Africa is only inexpensive to foreign currency holders like U.S, Canada, England etc, its not the same for Africans that live there.
Not necessarily. I know lots of Africans living well and they never lived overseas so it depends
@@LetsTravellChannelep. As a congolese I find west, east and south africa.wayyyy cheaper than my country. Like wayyy cheaper. That's why I moved in my mom's country Tanzania but in mozambique now but going back soon
True.
You will be surprised à lot of Africans got money
Black Americans need to come home, and help build our motherland. Black Americans have plenty of skills, and Africa has all the resources, we can make it happen together. We love you and miss you 😊
Home is America, my brother.
@rlroark2457 you sound like a muzungu, no one is talking to you.
so true. I’m a developer! I’m thinking about coming to africa
@@rlroark2457No America is not anymore. Watch the news. The supreme court is sending us back to slavery, step by step.
@@rlroark2457 lol a fba clown
it is time the government gives our american bros and sisters residence or dual citizenship.
They just did?
why? what's the benefit? you dont think the government has more important things to do?
Here is an updated discord link to Auston’s Enlightened Western Men server discord.gg/wpRvuXeG.
Lookin good broby
Crm system has been in Kenya , it depends with a specific company that are still using manual system
Love the conversation!! You make me want to just pack up and move!!
Good ideas but please no scooters in Nairobi!
Holl3man, the $2,000 (Ksh 280,00) you see as little is what the middle-class earn hear. If you can buy a car & find a 3-bedroom house at ksh 40,000, you can cut on the expenses, especially the rent in Kilimani, Westlands, Hurlingham apartments where you pay 120-200k for 2-bedroom. But its worth it bcoz of the luxury
He meant it in kshs.
DC! Police are not designed to attack a certain group of people. Boy very powerful statement! Love this continent.
im so jealous of Austin im stuck in Alabama being called an incel every 5 seconds
I used to go to Alabama all the time. You better leave now before it is too late.

African Continent is home no place like it. keep doing u Auston!!!! wait till you go to South Africa do Cape Town my bro.
I'm thinking about going to Cape Town, South Africa or Nairobi, Kenya for the new year. Which city would you go to?
@@KoolE23johanessburg SA
One thing I will always criticize returnees is their apparent unwillingness to learn the local languages and integrate thereby. A good number of them don't even make some type of effort! Especially if you're in some East African countries, you can't tell me Swahili is too difficult to learn.
The whites,Chinese and Indians speak Swahili but black Americans only their ghetto English.
If you dress like you’re abit wealthy, you get higher prices everywhere. We say, there’s a price for everyone! I’m Kenyan and bargaining is not my thing too. With time people get used to their tactics but it’s really hard
S/o Detroit! I’ll be there soon as well
💯
Guys we want that here. Karibuni sana
Keep up the good vibes.
Great content bro
I live in Kerŭgoya, but I spend a lot of time in Nairobi.
Very interesting conversation.
I am not sure if African Americans will come to Kenya in the numbers going to West Africa, like countries Ghana and Nigeria. For one, the Ghanaian government is offering them a lot of incentives to return to Ghana and bring their money with them. Some are very wealthy especially from Washington DC working for the US government. I see FB groups of ex US government employees moving to Ghana especially as they like to say, as Repats and not Expats. The Kenyan government should also try to tap into that great financial resource system, bringing in US dollars to Kenya.
However, some of the reasons for choosing the West Coast is from finding their roots and DNA tests. Most English ship merchants and captains that moved Africans from the West cost of Africa to the Americas.
The Portuguese on the other hand took Africans from their colonies in Angola, Mozambique (and even Zanzibar and Mombasa) to Brazil mainly. (Some Africans were taken as slaves to Goa, India by the Portuguese. However, the Africans revolted in Goa and fled into the interior of India, mainly in the State of Karnataka where their descendants continue to live in, today. They are know as 'Siddi', a name they gave themselves. A popular Kenyan YTer went out there to meet them, thinking that they would want to know about Africa and would want to return to the homeland, but they were not interested at all. He raised a lot of money from mostly African Americans who assumed that they felt the same way as them in America, and were too poor to return to Africa. I don't know what became of all that money although a Nigerian was suing him and sister for some money of his. The Siddi said that they are very happy in India, they speak the Indian languages and don't have anything left of their former lives. They expressed no interest at all about coming to Africa, completely unlike the African Americans. And these Siddis people get an education, jobs and housing. In fact they lived in very decent housing that is well laid out and the best thing was that it was very peaceful. They say they live with their doors and windows unlocked as they have zero crime. They talked about having to face crime in Africa if they returned and even Kenyans agreed that they were much better of living in their peaceful villages. The Catholic Church with priests from Goa take care of the villages making sure their needs are met. Some have graduated from university but come home to live because they like their peaceful life. Who wouldn't want to live with zero crime?).
Correction the Portuguese took people from CONGO Angola didnt exist back then that entire area was congo those same people were scattered across Dominica guadeloupe and martinique
Another african youtuber from ivory coast went to India and visit the siddis. His channel is visual poet. He has several videos with them. And on his videos they ask him about Africa and how they want to go back. They tell him about their african roots. They also told him how the Indians treated shunned them and how life was difficult for them in India.
So what is the channel of that african youtuber of yours?
Kenya still remains more visited than any West African country! West African countries only beat Kenya on AA numbers, but not overall visitors.
Oh yeah tell the brotha tu go tu Bogani, Bogani is a shopping center with alot of small shops, it's located in Karen, the lady charged me less than ten dollars tu take ma hair down, and she did not knot my hair up, she took it down perfectly, she washed it, blow dryed it, oiled my scalp, and braided it, I tipped her, and I went tu a tailor in Bogani, it's not far or tuu far from galleria mall, but tell brother tu go tu bogani
The usually have standard prices so they shouldn’t hike the price on you. For the braids I know they can charge up to 2k depending where you go and the type of braids. I honestly don’t think they hiked the price on you specifically for what reason
I'm Kenyan and I'm afraid of street food too. I love Swahili food but while in Mombasa I go to specific eateries not all because of food poisoning.
Oh my goodness, Mombasa street food is life!
That is understandable.
No gun violence...
People I'm many African countries don't carry guns it's totally illegal
When they jack up the prices, feel free to BARGAIN them down. Smile and ask for a discount. It is expected.
bro, thanks for this
Good interview Fam! With all due respect and i'm only saying this to offer constructive criticism. That "you no what I mean" every other sentence is annoying AF!
It’s okay. They had a lot to say in a short time.
I'm so used to it I don't realize it anymore
Austone Hollemann please thanks for being kenya friendly ambassadar, But remember kenya _ Africa is a barghain culture which many cannot do when your from for example U S A / Europa. Try to ask for a second pricen which might be easy to pay + lower abit. thst will try to bring the higher price lower.
If you want low prices find a kenyan friend thats going to bargain for yu that gets yu
I was with him until he said african police are friendly and looking out for you 😂stay in nairobi long enough watch how they fuck with you and try to extort you just as in every african country
While you’re at it, can you name any government office in Kenya or by extension Africa where they wouldn’t extort money from you?
Dont think I can but this comment was strictly about police
Are you suggesting that the African.police are worse than the.Racist and Murdering Police in the USA........ Really..
@@williamkamau1167sk him. Was reading earlier how some yte policemen got into a black man house without warrant and subdue him to torture and even sxal abuse. They just got arrested.
@@africaine4889 wow, thats horrible!
Buy everything in the supermarkets, elsewhere they will hike the prices if you look like a foreigner
How long have auston guest been living in Kenya
9 years
I'm in to food processing business it's cheap to venture and has high returns here in Kenya
Been to kuwait .😮. were you working at Kuwait international airport maybe Austin?
Welcome home guys...any black American dude here for me?😅😊
Am here😂😂😂😂😂
The price of doing hair usually depends on the side of town due to rents and things like that
Exactly
I love a country where the men dress up and into fashion.
Then u will love francophone African countries like ivory coast, Cameroon and Congo( but Congo is not ready yet for tourism) and nigeria.. Also lusophone countries like angola. In most african country the women dress up when they go out
@@africaine4889Most of Americans will never go to francophone countries because of the language
@@antony6799 wasn't talking to most BA but to the guy who made the comment. The same way there are BA going to Brazil without knowing a word of Portuguese u have some that go to francophone African countries.
@@africaine4889 They go to Brazil because Portuguese is similar to Spanish, and Spanish is widely spoken in America. If you don't believe me, try finding any video on TH-cam of an American that moved to French West Africa, you'll probably find none.
@@antony6799 I speak Spanish and Portuguese and they are different. And most of the Americans going on holiday do not speak Spanish nor Portuguese like that. Even Spanish in Europe have some difficulties hearing or talking Portuguese besides some words they have in common
Bolt Food way cheaper than Ubet Eats and same restaurants!
Kenya is a vibe.You can't Purchase that. it has the it factor.
Don't forget what you did in Brazil
Don't feel bad about inflating prices to foreigners because they do that to kenyans living in America and Europe.And that is because they believe money grow on trees in America. So don't think they do that to you because you're American or a foreigner.
They need to learn to bargain that how it works in Africa.
Yes, Kenyan students pay 3 or 4 times what American pay. That is a FACT all over the US. I hate when foreigners complain about a few kshings, when Kenyan students studying in the US pay thousands of dollars more in school fees in college.
@@Dan-xx5jqdude from 3$ to 15 $? Yew he could pay that but it's the fact that they put the price up just because
@@africaine4889 I get your point..Everyone wants to be treated equally. But he also talked about the National Parks charging foreigners a lot more in entrance fees, than locals. Which is why I reminded him that Kenyan students pay 3 and 4 times the fees at a university in the US than in the American students pay in fees. It is a considerable amount!
@@Dan-xx5jq true
yo guys should get marred in kenya it shows how much you feel it
m-pesa good deal for kenya
Was gonna ask about the Police & Government?? Goods like Ordering from Ebay, amazon & getting it Delivered by ups, fedex or amazon?? is that Ez??
Mombasa is dope city
Fella say a haircut is like $3 but the barber shop try to charge him $10 or $15 but say even though they try to fleece him it is petty. Big man if pricing is an issue that is a big problem cause that is like thieving. When you pay that it mess up things for everyone. First you ask the price and if he say $15 you simply leave and do not encourage that fuckery. I got a haircut in one latin country for 300 pesos which is less than $3. You cannot take these things as a joke as a tourist because you mess it up for everybody. Once you ask the price then you can know whether the fella trying to thief from you. They are basically thieves because if the standard price is say $5 and the fella trying to hit you for $15 that is basically thieving. Stop trying to big Kenya up if they doing that shit because overcharging you is a big problem in any country. Once I see that I lose interest in that country unless I am hanging with a local who take me through all the ropes.
Africans culture is known for bargaining and haggling. When you go out there that is what you suppose to do. Don't be timid haggle them down to a lower price.
Exactly, pay what it cost. Paying 3 times what you know it costs is dumb and cowardly. Then he went into "business oppurtunities"... If you can not handle negotiating a $3 haircut, how can you handle real estate deals for WAY MORE money? These amatuer acting as businessmen crack me up!
They gotta feed their families too. Bargaining for 10 bucks. Stay in America don't travel. I'd understand if they were charging him like 40 bucks. And if he bargained, he could probably get it all done for 6 or 7 bucks.
@@felosopha445 You really sound dumb. Because you want feed your family you would thief from others or try to rip them off. I do not live in the states and then I would not want be around people like you all. This is why I never really thought about going to an African country cause your mindset is a turnoff. Take your ass and go work for a fair days work and stop acting like someone suppose to take care you. You need to put your diapers on.
@@felosopha445 There are people that travel and those to whom the entire world is their home (Living abroad fulltime). Overpaying the going rate is simple ignorace of how the Matrix actual works. Why not overpay everywhere you go it is the perception is you have more "money" than the service provider? If anyone is unable to understand this spiritual truth, they are a person with a job, that is for sure. I myself use to be one of those people myself so I know how their unawakened mind rationalizes situations. I am glad I finally woke up! These days, I own every minute of my time. Wisdom is key...
