My First Impressions of Nairobi, Kenya as an Expat 🇰🇪

- I was welcomed in the Kenyan Embassy in a very warm fashion. I was able to interview a diplomat and another staff member about my trip to Kenya. This video will give you an overview of my warm welcome there.
In addition, this video will provide a great overview of how my first day went when I finally arrived in Nairobi, Kenya.
Nairobi is Kenya’s capital city. In addition to its urban core, the city has Nairobi National Park, a large game reserve known for breeding endangered black rhinos and home to giraffes, zebras and lions. Next to it is a well-regarded elephant orphanage operated by the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. Nairobi is also often used as a jumping-off point for safari trips elsewhere in Kenya.

Thanks for watching this video documenting my first day in Nairobi, Kenya. Kindly 👍 and share the video as well.
Previously, I tried Kenyan food for the first time in Washington DC. This is the footage.

in a country that welcomes over 2m tourists, bush meat can never be an option..eating a wild animal can send you to jail
Thanks for giving Kenya a chance @IvainTures. I hope you got the chance to use an Uber or Bolt for better rates. Unfortunately, the cost of fuel/gas has escalated in Kenya, making it hard for taxi drivers to make ends meet. I saw you with Priya in her vlog and couldn't wait to watch you in Kenya. As a Kenyan myself, I can tell you are authentic and upright. I also love the quality of your content. Please keep at it.
Berbers are NOT expat after all you only come from Cameruoon which have been ruled by one man for donkey years.
Cool video
Wow ivantures finally in Kenya hope you could have meet your old friend dispite what you went through together...
No oil, gold, diamond but Kenya is growing. Amazing!
The most touching part is to see Embassy in US warm welcome and trying to represent our country in the best way they can ,big up
The first guy who you negotiated price with at the airport is actually a broker😂😂 he will get his cut when the driver comes back.The hustle is undefeated
he ripped him off😂
Bana! 😅 I wasn't even aware that this matatu-like brokerage thing had fikad the airport.
@beerswhiskeyandcigars 692. the hustle is real. kuwa mpole.
Kamagera imefika hadi kwa airport 😂😂
Should have been 2000 on the high end…. Next time take Uber and avoid those brokers
The embassy gentleman has made me proud to be Kenyan, welcoming, articulate, kind absolute professional, he marketed the whole country as well, hongera sanakwa huyo mzee
Thanks a lot for watching!
From TH-cam I think Kenya and South Africa have the best infrastructure
Same South africa #1 and Nairobi Kenya is a close 2nd 💯
I think so too
😂😂😂 Thas Nairobi infrastructure 😂😂😂 travel around 😅 you will be disappointed
@@flavinmkabicyp In Africa.
@@jimraymond404 nope. Travel around Kenya... Or Nairobi major towns and u will be disappointed
I love your simplistic explanation of things. You are the REAL travel youtuber who love to capture the audience attention as you give the details.
Thank you so much
Always interesting seeing our country through the fresh eyes of a visitor. Quite impressive i must say. For sure we don't appreciate what we have enough
Welcome to Kenya brother 👊
Tip for the travellers: Never ever talk to the taxi brokers at the airport. Uber/ Bolt/ Taxify is always cheaper. You were charged about 3 times the usual price to Westlands.
He was even asked to pay to use the express way which they didn't eventually use. Luckily there was no traffic
you are small minded and lying. The Uber can be hailed by another customer. A regular taxi cannot just park anywhere so he has to drive back to the airport without a customer. Speak facts not lies.
@@TheSparkAfrica😅😅😅
@@TheSparkAfrica 🤣😂😂 matusi ni ya nini? Ama, you're one of those taxi drivers taking advantage of pple at the airport? Chill bro, it's never that serious.
He even took the wrong itinerary to make the journey look long . Typical kikuyu guys 😅
Nice.
Loved the embassy tour. That was super welcoming. Makes me wanna go now too.
Welcome to Kenya @IvainTures. I was really looking forward to the start of your Kenyan series. Uber, Bolt, Little Cab, Faras, InDiver etc are all taxi apps available in Kenya. It is better to insist on using them or at least find the going rate if you are going to negotiate. The guy that got you the cab was basically a broker and he bumped up the price and "sold" you to the real taxi guy. He even topped the price by saying he was going to use the Nairobi expressway something he didn't tell the driver. The expressway would have given you sweeping views of Nairobi from above and would have been more enjoyable and beautiful. Now a few corrections from the driver, the only animals not in Nairobi national park is the elephants since the park is not being enough and doesn't have enough vegetation for them but the lions are there. Also Kenya is 85-90% Christian with Muslim accounting for much of the rest. The tallest building is Britam Towers in Nairobi's Upper Hill District where most corporate HQ's are based. The building he showed you is like the 3rd tallest. There's much to do and see in Nairobi just like the rest of Kenya. Westlands has a wide array of restaurants serving all types of international cuisines, big, beautiful malls, amazing nightlife from many night spots. Nairobi Street kitchen etc. In the South of Nairobi you have Nairobi national park, Giraffe centre, Shedrick Elephant Orphanage, Bomas of Kenya where Kenya's culture/tribes are displayed in song and dance, Uhuru Gardens museum etc. North of Nairobi you have Karura forest within the city, the largest highway/freeway in the country and in the West you have most of the high end leafy, rich suburbs of Nairobi. You can also visit the biggest mall in East and Central Africa called Two Rivers mall. Kilimani neighbourhood is a good spot to check out and rivals Westlands in many aspects. Also check out the Nairobi expressway for amazing drive and views from up top. Lastly, check out the KICC building in the city centre for the view of the city from one of Kenya's tallest buildings. I hope this helps and once again welcome to Nairobi, Kenya.
Well explained but. Next time use online tax
Alex thanks for correcting obvious mistakes by the driver he actually doesn't know what he's saying.Ivan can get around and learn more if you were his guide,he should get in touch with you
@@iamjoseph795He just arrived. No Kenyan number yet. That price is fair for normal cabs. $20 is fair for normal cabs
@@jamesokoth6655I think he did his best. Mistakes can be made.
Well explained. Couldn't do better.
So nice to see Joseph. We grew up in the same village, I've not seen him in ages! Great stuff. Welcome to Kenya.👍
So cool!
The video is so clear. Wauuh best videos, keep up the good work Sir, Kenya to the world
Thanks for watching
What a friendly and warm Kenyan welcoming
Indeed
Props to the Kenyan embassy, what a great representation of Kenya. Other countries could learn from them
💯
I’m catching up on your Kenya content and I like what your focus and presentation is for the most part. Loved your driver from the airport - hope he gets his wish of a Nyama Choma joint. Keep it up and enjoy! We just want good content.🇰🇪🇺🇸🙏🏾💕
This the first time i ever came across your video,i had to subscribe .this is content creation at its best,very well excecuted❤
Congratulations to kenyan embassy team. Very good representation. Keep up
I loved this video. Thanks for showcasing the Embassy in Washington
Thanks for watching!
Kenya is so beautiful I really love the mindset of English speaking African countries. They are all about building from ground zero to the top. Rwanda, South Africa, Ethiopia all these countries are well developed and equipped in term of infrastructure. Unlikely like in my country where others think roads and infrastructures do not serve as a good purpose because they are starving. SMH
Wherr are you from bro
@@maxwelltivoly7223 I am from Ivory Coast
@@MPkOuakoulove from KENYA
@@MPkOuakouI am made to understand that Ivory Coast has relatively good infrastructure by African standards? Why are you desputing that fact??
they still suffer from french neocolonialism..where elites rule..@@jumachu795
Look at this man at the embassy. This is truly a representative of the people. Very humble and informative. The lady representative too was great. Excellent representatives of their government.
Welcome to Kenya, we have plenty of lions in Nairobi national park, the driver isn't much aware.
😯 thanks for
Letting me know
@Ivaintures this was your best video...the embassy tour, negotiation skills at the airport, hotel choice were all on point! So looking to your tour of Kenya 🇰🇪! Thanks and welcome to East Africa
Thanks so much.
@@IvainTures welcome
Kenya is beautiful and Hope you enjoy your trip❤
The video is rich with kenyan story. A great video. Thankyou for marketing our country.
A well programmed video with very good flow of information.
All the best and good luck Sir Ivantures.
Many thanks 🙏🏽
Interesting content Ivain. Good and informative to see Kenya's embassy.
We actually don’t eat bush meat in Kenya. We mainly eat pork, lamb, goat, beef and chicken. The most “bush meat” some eat is rabbit. But it’s not common. That restaurant is the only place that serves unique meats and most people haven’t even gone there before
I grew up eating bush meat.
I used to eat bushmeat at Carnivore Restaurant, Langata when I was a student in Karen 2014-2018. With Love from Cameroon 🇨🇲✌️
Remember Kenya is famous for Roasted Meet (Nyama Kyoma) eaten with Ugali ( prepared Corn flour)...Greetings from Kampala Uganda East Africa..We are neighbors to Kenya
It's roasted meat. Called nyama choma.
Greetings back to you, our Ugandan neighbour 🖤
New subscriber and a kenyan. Thank you so much for visiting my beautiful country. Karibu Kenya 🇰🇪 Enjoy your visit.
Thanks a lot !
The gentleman is a good ambassador representing us well abroad
Thanks so much for watching!
Kenya is heart on earth
I have loved your very good video. I am one happy Kenyan. Karibu tena!
Thanks so much for watching!
Another season another country, 2nd season in Africa,enjoy will be watching every episode, that's a very interesting country with the best head of state by far
Wow the Embassy diplomats. that was amazing God bless you.. most embassies have huge wall fence... Sad that nobody recognised them
Thanks so much for watching !
Great video bro, you've met my community people right outside of the jamo Kenyatta airport 😅, we're Kenyan 🙌🇰🇪
Hello Ivain it's always such a pleasure watching your videos...amazing footage, informative and educational narratives. Your presentation of chosen destinations, points of interest, shared information and suggestions are awe inspiring to learn and wanting to see more...so far haven't missed any of your videos. It's hard to say which is a favorite topic....as they all are. Though I must say your visit to the Kenyan Embassy was very welcoming, impressive and informative. At times sense of humor, interaction with locals meeting subscribers as you travel peaks interest to see what's next . Keep traveling, enjoy and be safe........the world is waiting✌✌👏👏💖💖
Taking content to a new level, hope to see and learn more from your presentation ❤
More to come! Many thanks
@@IvainTuresUber pays the drivers very poorly in Kenya plus they are too many in the cities so they don't make ends meet driving uber.
Welcome to Kenya! I didn’t even know about that hotel! Discovering Nairobi gems through you!

Brilliant share, i was born and brought up in Nairobi but since moving away over 20 years ago, I no longer like or enjoy how lively it is, when I fly to Kenya, my only time in Nairobi is at the airport before taking a domestic flight to my home in Kisumu.
But thanks so much for showing me the sides of Nairobi I should be checking out.
Thanks so much !
