Im happy to see that black american are now exploring Africa and especially Kenya. I lived in Kenya for 20 yrs,i have my retirement home in kenya. It's time we seek out what Africa has for Black Americans. Thanks for exposing Africa, especially to Black Americans
We are building an Airbnb mini resort in Ngong Hills (Nairobi)! Once it’s complete we will make Kenya our home! Documenting the progress on my channel.
Marcus Garvey words come to pass. This was his message to all blacks in the west to return to the motherland. He was so serious he went and arranged the for the black star liner ships to take us back to Africa, but he was sabotaged. Bob Marley ran with the message in music plus the Jamaican Rastafarian movement. From the age of four I was taught by my grandparents to return to Africa. I am kind of established in Kenya now. When I arrive in Kenya the first time I immediately connected. Kenyans are some of the nicest people you will meet and very welcoming. The perfect country. Shout out to this video. Making my final move to Kenya this year. Auston Holleman you are right about the gender war in the west established by the feminist movement. We men are endangered.
As an African American living in the U.S., I can co-sign everything Kevin said. And, I experienced that same language issue in Burkina Faso and I too refused to learn another colonizers’ language. I also terminated my land purchase in The Gambia due to their under developed health care system and the overwhelming presence of others and how they were exploiting children, men and women because of the lack of employment and low wages. And now, after extensive research, I’m happily preparing for my move to Kenya in 2025!
@@lizkimani9576 Thank you! Retirement means I’ll be busier than ever finally implementing my passion projects. My motto is “Die Empty don’t take your talents to the grave”!
Am so proud of him. He has done what most Kenyans in the Diaspora only dream of....relocating to Africa. Am working on going back home too. There's no place like home. I hope Kenya has been everything and more to you sir.
Even if land is freehold, one can still get government sewer, water and electrical services. Our family has been in real estate development and we just recently started digging bore holes to supplement city council water. I love this channel, I've lived in the states for more than 20 years and its very refreshing to see an American give such a favorable opinion of Kenya and Africa in general
If you think this brother spoke well of Kenya check Auston’s other video with another American who’s lived in Kenya for 10 years. He completely loves Kenya and thinks it’s heaven on earth. They know what their experiences are back home and Kenya more than checks all the boxes. I feel the same way. Ease of language, cosmopolitan lifestyle, having coffee or breakfast at Java House or grabbing chicken or Pizza at Chicken Inn or shopping in Naivas or any of the multiple well stocked and beautiful malls there…it’s a diaspora man’s heaven for a reasonable cost. And yes your women are to die for. 😊
Hey Auston from your content - your officially a Kenyan . Welcome home. From this we rename you Tajiri - meaning who who has achieved success or is wealthy in Swahili - where your heading your getting there. Yes Kenya has it ups and downs but for the most part you can keep ahead with the power of the dollar converted into the Kenyan Shillings. We wish your African American knew this gem - Nairobi and the wealth of opportunities especially in real estate and the education system for kids. As a Kenyan who has lived in NYC you get the same living at a fraction of the price. Or explore other parts of Nairobi and get more of a suburban feel. Keep up the great work - we are proud of you!
@@bliss252 Try seeing it from a different perspective, it's more of a blessing rather than seeing it like he will be a target, tajiri/ Sonko can be a name given not you naming yourself and it depends on your deeds to humanity, we have alot of tajiri rolling around the continent making impact to the soil!
How about he keeps he Americans identity the fact that most of you mfs try to make a everyone Kenyan when they move in is so laughable you people are some D riders 😂😂
My parents both get $1500 a month SSA. My Mom gets a small pension of about $100 a month. My Dad gets 2 pension checks for a total of about $1,200 a month. My Mom still works as a therapist. When she retires hopefully they move with us to Nairobi in a few years. If they moved right now to Nairobi they would live very comfortably off their retirement/ssa income of almost $4,900 a month.
That's a hell lotta money!!! They'd definitely have a fabulous time in Kenya. Plus the benefits of good food and great weather overrides the cons by a hundred fold 💯
Invest $10,000 on land just outside Nairobi (Kiserian). Use $30,000 to build them a home. That will make it easier for them to move. Focus will just be food and healthcare when one has a home.
If your retirement is at least $3500+ monthly you can move to Kenya and live comfortably with no problems. Buy good kenya health insurance and enjoy your life. Jump on plane and fly to different kenyan cities which are all 1 hour or less flights ✈️. I've been to mombasa, Diani Beach and Nairobi. You catch Uber from mombasa to Diani Beach ⛱️. Do youtube search for Diani Beach. You can get nice apartment with 24 hour security for $600 monthly. I wish to move to Kenya one day 🇰🇪
But to be honest you can live in Kenya if you want to live modest and comfortably if your getting $2500 monthly every month. $600 nice apartment and utilities, food, health insurance cost maybe $700 monthly. $1000 leftover to do whatever activities. Train 🚆 rides in between mombasa and Nairobi are $40. So you can actually live comfortably in Kenya if you're receiving at least $2500 monthly since school teachers I know in Kenya only make around $400usd monthly. So $2500 monthly you can live comfortably 🇰🇪
Thank you Auston. I am gonna be honest, I definitely support more this African journey, educating our people about the continent rather than the tricking part. For real my plan is to move my wife and kids to South Africa in the very near future. I am tired of NYC and I know the price of housing in Johannesburg is incredible
Africa is were we come from. Greetings from a European that love Africa. I got some 25 years experience from Kenya if you want to get in touch. Will be in Nairobi from second of November
Very possible! especially at this moment. Profits can be made in many different ways, but such intricate transactions should only be handled by seasoned market professionals.
Some persons think inves'tin is all about buying stocks; I think going into the stock market without a good experience is a big risk, that's why I'm lucky to have seen someone like mr Brian C Nelson.
As of February 2024, the average monthly Social Security retirement benefit was $1,862, or about $22,344 per year. This is simply not enough to live on if you plan on living in a major city in the USA.
@@westcoastmediasolutions under. If that is required of me and it’s mine, why can I not get 100% of it at 62. The max is at 70. Let’s keep it 100. This country has been using our funds to fund other nations and their cronies. Meanwhile, they are trying to kill us with all the poison in the food that other countries don’t have. Plus, they recently raised it as to when you can get SS. The USA has been programming us that many thing it’s sooooo great and it’s heaven. Every nation has their pros and cons. My issue with the USA is they are quick to tell you how bad this or that country is or communism there. They are doing communist acts here to me. The worst if it all you get more recognition for praising someone who is LGBTQ than a masculine and heterosexual man. I’m not saying those in the LGBTQ should not be recognized but they keep showing that agenda down our throat especially through our kids. No parent should have to hear about their 5-8 year saw a presentation from a trans, etc. Then you have boys coming home and telling their mom and dad it’s okay for him to like a boy. Maybe late teens or early adult when someone believes they are gay. If so, good for them. They are being honest and I respect that. But don’t but that seed in a child’s mine.
I agree 💯 - in tbe USA right now my baby heads to college - 4 more years and I am in Kenya. Home built & furnished. We visit in the dec holidays but permanent retirement loading. God willing. (Short of my home on my page).
Thank you for another great podcast. I am learning so much. You're making my decision much easier to know where to start investing and retirement. God blessed you both.
23:35 that is not the definition of freehold real estate. Kenya: Property taxes are also required, with the amount depending on the location, size, and use of the land. Some exemptions may apply, especially for agricultural or public land.
Do you know if "rentals" have undetermined amounts of increase each year? Is it better to buy a home already built or rent when you're not sure how long you will stay in Kenya? Are property values increasing each year and about what percentage?
@@SupportYourValues about rental charges, you literally bargain right before you sign the lease agreement. The lease agreement will include things like service charges, and the percentage increase in rent (usually done every 2 years). Property values do increase every year like any other part of the world. From a Kenyan perspective, though, buying land and building a house is way cheaper than buying a built house by far.
Somaliya we have historic infrastructure 1,500 years 900 years I'm talking about Advanced infrastructure so I'm very sure Ethiopia have that Sudan have that historical cities so brother Austin you need to research I know even West Africa so many historic cities
Incorrect Austin they have not raised the SSA retirement age.😂 for most of us it’s 67 for full benefits. You can file at 62 but you will take a huge pay cut. You don’t need $10m to retire in the states. If you have a paid off house you can do it on $2,500 a month. Of course you need to have a house paid off and 0 car payment. We have millions of our people retired in the southern states on a small income. It’s doable if one plans and budgets. Now if you want to really live and not just survive and you don’t own a home then yes I agree moving to a different country would be a better choice.
@AustonHolleman One political party is TRYING to raise the retirement age and trying to end SS altogether. That's why they were talking about it. Fortunately, its not the popular party so it has not been done. But it might if they are voted into power. People should know.
Before the 2010s the largest population of foreigners in Kenya would be Somali’s then Indians followed by Caucasians now we have a growing Chinese population and Nigerians and despite all the negativity this migration has helped Nairobi grow and the growth of Nairobi boosts the rest of the counties. So I don’t see why it would be an issue to have AAs coming in the dollar is the strongest currency in the world why not spend it where you’re appreciated.❤
I so enjoyed listening. I was glad to see and hear Kevin just to get the perspective of a mature person. I do have a few questions, so I will arrange for the consult. Thank you.
@@alexchui3511it is now that East Africa is opening as a whole to western civilization. They are the least open-minded people in Africa. The west is more westernized culturally and more open-minded! The East side had more Arab-muslim influence in their culture.
Yeah i just found out about the great benin wall auston talking about i moved to Nigeria and just discovered that story and the locals say its definitely true
@@AustonHolleman Please note I was 1st extremely critical of your interview tactics- travel comments but note you OBJECTIVELY without bias and no sympathy from me have have SINCERELY IMPROVED your interviewing CRAFT! Congrats again. Keep up the GREAT WORK!
I am a 40 something year old African Kenyan man living in Nairobi, Kenya and i think its high time people from the west of African descent start visiting the continent and esp Americans. In my wanderings, i have found Americans of all hues to be the most blissfully ignorant westerners, period.They should however come in peace and understand that the people you find there have language, history and culture. Dividing us into English/French/Portuguese speaking does not help you at all experience Africa and Africans.. If you decide that you only want to visit countries that were former British colonies(hence the use of English) locks you out of 3/4 of the continent. You will only be able to speak about that specific country only if you take that route. And also, don't go to the capital or big cities and think that's all there is to it. There is far much more to kenya than Nairobi and Mombasa. I am in my 40s and now spend my time learning French and next year i start Portuguese. I want to unlock Angola, Mozambique, Senegal, DRC, Congo rep, Cameroon and my fav African country la Cote D'Ivoire. Please people reject the nonsensical anglophone and francophone tags, most people in those countries dont dream in french or english but in their native african languages.
I agree. However, this discussion is more about retiring/living in Kenya, and less about visiting African countries as a whole. Most people feel more comfortable living in a place where they can understand others and be understood. Sure they can always learn the local language but that requires time and commitment. Not everyone has the time or wants to commit to learning another language which they will probably never truly master. I believe that most people would want the easiest transition possible when contemplating relocating another country. It is much easier to assimilate into a country where they speak your own language.
You hit all the key points about America and the importance of removing a man from the equation. This is why so many real black women and men love this country. Our principles are not demolished in Africa, like America, to keep us from becoming successful. I live in SE Washington, DC, and the other day, as a guy who dresses casually boss, I would say Kenneth Cole slash afro-centric. As I walked toward her, the young African girl started warning her mom that an older black man was walking toward them and hide her phone. Mom looked up, and the girl was puzzled. She thought all black men were terrible. Mom looked up the ultra iPhone watch, and the iPhone in hand dressed nicely, which was not an issue with the mom. So the young woman took it upon herself to shield her mom's phone: I love this America. Amazing! You are not in any way stopping me from building my neighborhood, creating jobs, living in Africa, and coming back to America to check up on all the people of color I have working for myself in a healthy environment. It's a long road, but I love everything about being a solid black man. This is fun, and they have no idea I'm enjoying this. I love this journey.
Your interview skills are top notch Austin. Keep up the good work. Been a subscriber since you were at less than 20,000. Buddy and I headed to Nairobi and Tanzania in 6 weeks. What’s a good lounge spot in Nairobi to flirt with the women?
Hello Auston, This was a really good interview. I'm a retired female from the United States. I came to Rwanda June 2024. I plan on coming to Kenya in December. Because I'm not sure; If Rwanda is the place for me. I have a general question. Is 2 weeks enough time or should I plan to stay longer to scout out the place ? I have other questions too, like housing. And I will consult with you on those later. Keep up the good work!
Very interesting interview. I am a Kenyan American lived in the U.S for about 35 years. While in the U.S i did a lot of different things as a businessman. Unfortunately my mind was always back home in Kenya after a few years where i thought my business would have grown much faster than being in the U.S.A I have since relocated back in Nairobi and i couldn't been much happier. I wish i did not waste a lot of my productive life in America. It is much worse when You're black with an accent. I tried working with banks but my proposals didn't get very far although i lived a good life just because i did not entirely depend on credits offered to me through several banks. However, my investments in Kenya have over the years appreciated so much to appoint i feel compensated for the loss of living in America for that long period of time. Please don't get me wrong as I'm not trying to discourage anybody who would like to go to the United States. America is a great country but it is not for everyone. You have less competition doing business here in Kenya rather than in the United States. Being employed in America is a whole different game from my perspective. I moved to the United States as an investor just to make it clear.
Auston because of your informative videos Im buying a home in Nairobi what Id like to know is the wildlife what is the concerns or things to know to avoid some of the poisonous snakes insects animals I'm bring my young children with me as this isn't deterrent Im coming but it's a concern I wan to be prepared and knowledgeable about can you give me some insight on this ! thanks for your videos they are the best and Im grateful that you have made it clear the opportunities for our people to be Home I'm on my way Brother 🙏🏾
I have no African ancestry, but I find Nairobi very appealing for the reasons discussed. Even as someone over 65. I am sure there are many non-African people in the US snd Canada who would find Nairobi extremely appealing aas a place to escape the Woke conflicts and retire to and as alternative to Mexico, Malaysia, Panama, etc. Especially with so many movies involving Kenya. They create a mystique about Kenya.

Freehold land has no taxes for most of the country including in Nairobi
@ Ty. But foreigners can’t purchase freehold land.
@5:45 exactly. I was trying to tell my friend in Tanzania that Ugali taste just like grits. But she tried to convince me it’s different
We just eat it with sugar or how I like mine with butter, salt and pepper. Ugali is like grits but plain
Best informative interview... for every age group.. Well out
Somaliya we have historic infrastructure 1,500 years 900 years I'm talking about Advanced infrastructure so I'm very sure Ethiopia have that Sudan have that historical cities so brother Austin you need to research I know even West Africa so many historic cities
We all know the oldest cities in africa are not in kenya.

Incorrect Austin they have not raised the SSA retirement age.😂 for most of us it’s 67 for full benefits. You can file at 62 but you will take a huge pay cut. You don’t need $10m to retire in the states. If you have a paid off house you can do it on $2,500 a month. Of course you need to have a house paid off and 0 car payment. We have millions of our people retired in the southern states on a small income. It’s doable if one plans and budgets. Now if you want to really live and not just survive and you don’t own a home then yes I agree moving to a different country would be a better choice.
So I guess they must’ve made that all up. The retirement age increase was big news
@AustonHolleman One political party is TRYING to raise the retirement age and trying to end SS altogether. That's why they were talking about it. Fortunately, its not the popular party so it has not been done. But it might if they are voted into power. People should know.
You got people like me who retire in there 20's and 30's and 40's from the USA government
You can own a home in Kenya, infact you can become a citizen.
Always a big fan of Auston. Each time I see an upload, I stop what I'm doing to watch it. Much love from kenya🇰🇪
I appreciate that!
Good content to share widely,,and Austin is not yet done,im travelled eifely in Africa, Kenya being in east Africa is a gem for all to think of ‼️🙏🇰🇪
Thank you! Retiree watching from Houston.😊😊
Awesome Interview. My man Kev. Ill be out there with you soon my brother!!
Great interview. Thank you🇯🇲
Great interview!! Love the content
Before the 2010s the largest population of foreigners in Kenya would be Somali’s then Indians followed by Caucasians now we have a growing Chinese population and Nigerians and despite all the negativity this migration has helped Nairobi grow and the growth of Nairobi boosts the rest of the counties. So I don’t see why it would be an issue to have AAs coming in the dollar is the strongest currency in the world why not spend it where you’re appreciated.❤
You make it sound like Somalis and Indians and some caucasians are not Kenyan citizens.
@@likatalikata3823 a good number are not.
@@likatalikata3823 Not all of them are indigenous don't get me wrong the facts are right.
Wow nice to hear from my friend I am happy for you last time we spoke you was talking about Africa now your doing good Stay Bless my friend.
I like it how they say Kenya and not Kenia
Yes! Very refreshing!
I so enjoyed listening. I was glad to see and hear Kevin just to get the perspective of a mature person. I do have a few questions, so I will arrange for the consult. Thank you.
we gotta make you our Tourism cabinet secretary to be honest or our ambassodor keep moving AUSTON❤
Great vlog today 👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿 I'm seriously considering Kenya and also South Africa being my first choice
Definitely look into west Africa
@@Lunar_el NO. Don't lie to him. Only go there to connect with the roots, that's about it.
@@alexchui3511 why would I lie when I relocated from the USA to west Africa and there are thousands of others who have aswell
@@alexchui3511it is now that East Africa is opening as a whole to western civilization. They are the least open-minded people in Africa. The west is more westernized culturally and more open-minded! The East side had more Arab-muslim influence in their culture.
You should do more interviews with people who have been here for years.
Nice video
Real good interview!
Yeah i just found out about the great benin wall auston talking about i moved to Nigeria and just discovered that story and the locals say its definitely true
Incredible interview
CONGRATS ALLSTON.....Your interview techniques and travel story experiences have IMPROVED DRAMATICALLY! Keep PUSHING and good luck BUDDY!
Thank you! Will do!
@@AustonHolleman Please note I was 1st extremely critical of your interview tactics- travel comments but note you OBJECTIVELY without bias and no sympathy from me have have SINCERELY IMPROVED your interviewing CRAFT!
Congrats again. Keep up the GREAT WORK!
I am a 40 something year old African Kenyan man living in Nairobi, Kenya and i think its high time people from the west of African descent start visiting the continent and esp Americans. In my wanderings, i have found Americans of all hues to be the most blissfully ignorant westerners, period.They should however come in peace and understand that the people you find there have language, history and culture. Dividing us into English/French/Portuguese speaking does not help you at all experience Africa and Africans.. If you decide that you only want to visit countries that were former British colonies(hence the use of English) locks you out of 3/4 of the continent. You will only be able to speak about that specific country only if you take that route. And also, don't go to the capital or big cities and think that's all there is to it. There is far much more to kenya than Nairobi and Mombasa. I am in my 40s and now spend my time learning French and next year i start Portuguese. I want to unlock Angola, Mozambique, Senegal, DRC, Congo rep, Cameroon and my fav African country la Cote D'Ivoire. Please people reject the nonsensical anglophone and francophone tags, most people in those countries dont dream in french or english but in their native african languages.
You better start learning American English. It's fun.
@@IREENKAIRUTHI lol did you notice I wrote in English?
I agree. However, this discussion is more about retiring/living in Kenya, and less about visiting African countries as a whole. Most people feel more comfortable living in a place where they can understand others and be understood. Sure they can always learn the local language but that requires time and commitment. Not everyone has the time or wants to commit to learning another language which they will probably never truly master. I believe that most people would want the easiest transition possible when contemplating relocating another country. It is much easier to assimilate into a country where they speak your own language.
That was great. Thank you.
This was one of your best interviews Auston.... & I have seen your content for atleast 2 years.
Kenya is The mother of all big up brother
One of my favorite interviews old is gold, great advise Kevin.
You hit all the key points about America and the importance of removing a man from the equation. This is why so many real black women and men love this country. Our principles are not demolished in Africa, like America, to keep us from becoming successful. I live in SE Washington, DC, and the other day, as a guy who dresses casually boss, I would say Kenneth Cole slash afro-centric. As I walked toward her, the young African girl started warning her mom that an older black man was walking toward them and hide her phone. Mom looked up, and the girl was puzzled. She thought all black men were terrible. Mom looked up the ultra iPhone watch, and the iPhone in hand dressed nicely, which was not an issue with the mom. So the young woman took it upon herself to shield her mom's phone: I love this America. Amazing! You are not in any way stopping me from building my neighborhood, creating jobs, living in Africa, and coming back to America to check up on all the people of color I have working for myself in a healthy environment. It's a long road, but I love everything about being a solid black man. This is fun, and they have no idea I'm enjoying this. I love this journey.
Solid talk ❤
Your interview skills are top notch Austin. Keep up the good work. Been a subscriber since you were at less than 20,000. Buddy and I headed to Nairobi and Tanzania in 6 weeks. What’s a good lounge spot in Nairobi to flirt with the women?
So many places welcome to Nairobi karibu sana ..you can check me I'm single lol
Hit Milan, bar next door kilimani, Gemini, Nairobi street kitchen.
Good stuff
What a powerful interview!
Hi Auston, this is great content, thumbs up; keep it up
you are right. Kenya has everything. The city and the suburb The low cost Of living, and quality of life. The diversity.
Great Video! Interview style videos tend to always be the most informative! Keep it up Nephew 🤙🏽
Kevin is a good looking man. That's the kind of man I was looking for when i came to America from Kenya many years ago 😅😅. I'm still looking 😅
🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂damn. He came, you went 💔. East or West....
Lol
😅😅😅
You slick I peep your game room doe lol they everywhere in the USA
Looking to buy property in Kenya in 2025 pray for me on this journey 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Hello Auston, This was a really good interview. I'm a retired female from the United States. I came to Rwanda June 2024. I plan on coming to Kenya in December. Because I'm not sure; If Rwanda is the place for me. I have a general question. Is 2 weeks enough time or should I plan to stay longer to scout out the place ? I have other questions too, like housing. And I will consult with you on those later. Keep up the good work!
I would advise at least a month. Sure looking forward to hearing from you!
Karibu Kenya. It is the place to be
Very interesting interview. I am a Kenyan American lived in the U.S for about 35 years. While in the U.S i did a lot of different things as a businessman. Unfortunately my mind was always back home in Kenya after a few years where i thought my business would have grown much faster than being in the U.S.A
I have since relocated back in Nairobi and i couldn't been much happier. I wish i did not waste a lot of my productive life in America. It is much worse when You're black with an accent. I tried working with banks but my proposals didn't get very far although i lived a good life just because i did not entirely depend on credits offered to me through several banks. However, my investments in Kenya have over the years appreciated so much to appoint i feel compensated for the loss of living in America for that long period of time. Please don't get me wrong as I'm not trying to discourage anybody who would like to go to the United States. America is a great country but it is not for everyone. You have less competition doing business here in Kenya rather than in the United States. Being employed in America is a whole different game from my perspective. I moved to the United States as an investor just to make it clear.
Great interview keep it up!
Auston because of your informative videos Im buying a home in Nairobi what Id like to know is the wildlife what is the concerns or things to know to avoid some of the poisonous snakes insects animals I'm bring my young children with me as this isn't deterrent Im coming but it's a concern I wan to be prepared and knowledgeable about can you give me some insight on this ! thanks for your videos they are the best and Im grateful that you have made it clear the opportunities for our people to be Home I'm on my way Brother 🙏🏾
Great video brother, I really enjoyed it!
I will be there on the 22nd of this month. I need some contacts. I will be retiring there.
Click the booking link in the description!
I have no African ancestry, but I find Nairobi very appealing for the reasons discussed. Even as someone over 65. I am sure there are many non-African people in the US snd Canada who would find Nairobi extremely appealing aas a place to escape the Woke conflicts and retire to and as alternative to Mexico, Malaysia, Panama, etc. Especially with so many movies involving Kenya. They create a mystique about Kenya.
This was really informative
Excellent content!
@auston holleman I want to take you to western part of Kenya. It’s very beautiful.
What is the city names in west Kenya you talking about that is so beautiful
@@Lunar_el The Great City by the Lake Kisumu City. Much better than the congested dusty Nairobi
Kisumu, Kakamega, Kisii, Bungoma, (Kericho), Homa Bay,
@@Lunar_el Kakamega, Kisumu , Eldoret, Bungoma, Kisumu, Kericho, Homabay, Rusinga Island etc
@@nairobinyeusi5811 ok I'm going to check them out on TH-cam and I can believe it I don't care about no city shi
I think one can comfortably live on $1800.00 a month in Nairobi, especially if you don't have kids
Kids kill any budget😂 regardless of where you are
Great interview
This was a good interview Auston.
Nice i didn't know the face behind the BBQ pit master congrats
I salute kevin for trying to leave a plan b option for his kids or grandkids said straight up you going to die trying to become a billionaire or etc
