I don't know what is more painful for me: to watch or not my beloved second home. I dare to call it although i'm not Kenyan but my wife is. Since i married her i miss her home too. I got know kenyan people i find you very similar to my nation therefore i love you all. Warm hearted, intelligent and suffered a lot but still strong. I go back as soon as i can. Thank you for all these videos i keep watch them every time. Greetings from a Hungarian.

[@marcojansen9599]

Same story here!

[@johngarwell862]

My father had a small coffee plantation just outside Kiambu back in 1959. Fascinating to see those roads again. The last time I was there was in 1963 when I was just 15 years old.

[@the_kenyan_villager254]

I rather watch your videos hundreds of times than find myself watching kenyan news from our TV stations, we revolved our minds too much around politics we forget the beauty of our country, kenyan news ni depressing Sana u may think there's no hope for our country.. Keep it up 👆

In your videos I see edging at a distance of miles😍😍😍 Beautiful country again and ancestral guidance🌙

Thank you, all in all I believe culturally we share alot in common with Jamaicans. Jamaican Artists perform alot in Kenya.

We appreciate what you do to us .With you ,I have travelled to many places.This is usually breathtaking, especially when I'm going to Kiambu, I usually go to Limuru and board a matatu to see this view.But due to land grabbing and greedy humans,most of the farms have been grabbed and they cut off the tea and coffee to put up houses.Years back,you'd know you are near Coffee plantations just by the smile.Don't know if it's evident nowadays.Kiambu town is very expensive

Since tuko learning phase, keep experimenting na camera settings. Great you dropped the music in this one. Even greater videos now that you're giving us the background of the sites and when you get out of the car for show-and-tell. The next piece of equipment you will need is a lavalier/lapel wireless mic for your commentaries, especially when you're in the car. The road noise just adds more character to your videos. Keep on keeping on!

[@AfrikanTraveller]

Thank you, with your suggestions the content will keep getting better.

[@johnsonkabiru9711]

Good work bro as usual. You can combine both music and nature sounds like today. Areas with many details to give and stories behind them you can keep music out. Otherwise just find a balance. Your choice of music is great, therapeutic. And take us to Ndakaini where water for Nairobi comes from. You could take that opportunity to show us Thika town.

Thank you, which part of Thika is not covered?

[@terrywnjoroge]

Afrikan Traveller So glad you saw my comment and followed up. Please see Maki Estate on the road entrance towards ShadeNet. Those areas have great pineapple and flower farms. Unfortunately it will be a very, very bumpy road and maybe impassable right now after the heavy rains. There are alternate roads but they would wreck havoc on your car. Also, Please check out the construction of Juja - Mukinyi Rd. It has taken decades for them to start building the road. Now from Gatundu count towards Thika Highway, there is some little progress. I think you should be compensated by the government for your reviews-since they are unable to monitor where their funds go or don’t go. We have learned so so so so much travelling with you. Thank you for sharing your work.
