Is This The Cleanest City In Kenya? NAKURU Left Me Speechless!! My First Impressions

[@davidlubanga-o6w]

1. Nakuru city is sandwitched between 2 immovable geographical features: The lake and Menengai Crater. 2. Nakuru is the only county with 4 lakes: Nakuru, Naivasha, Elementaita, Solai. 3. Nakuru is one of 3 cities (Nrb, Msa, NKR) with a statehouse. The others are state lodges. 4. Nakuru has the 3rd largest URBAN Population. Bigger than Kisumu. 5. Nakuru is equi-distant to the following County Capitals; Nairobi, Eldoret and Nyeri. Approx 160km to each. 6. Nakuru county was owned by only 2 white men; Delamere and Egerton. 7. Nakuru had Formular 1 track in the 40s and 50s and was the cleanest town in East Africa upto the 80s. 8. If you drive from Eldoret to Nairobi, you will go through 7 counties. 50% of your journey will be in Nakuru county while the other 50% is share among the other 6.

Good knowledge shared thanks.

Thanks for this info. I was planning to travel to Kenya from Uganda with whole family, in December 2024, planned to have a stop over in Nakuru, then proceed to Nairobi.

[@TheTeddykimani]

Nakuru was owned by our ancestors before Non-African colonialists came here. Our history does not begin with colonization,we are older than the world outside africa

[@ugconnect]

​@@TheTeddykimani Thank you so much for this history about Nakuru

[@bellaolum9768]

Nakuru is located on a volcanic tectonic plate and therefore a restriction on skyscrapers. We have crater lakes and mountains in Nakuru County...Mt Longonot..olkaria geothermals...lake Nakuru..lake elmentaita..lake naivasha etc...lake bogoria hot springs

Very true, the landscape of Nakuru cannot accommodate sky scapers., But either way, i will still vote for Kisumu in terms of beauty, organisation and cleanliness😊

Thanks for casting your vote Sir! 😁

I think Nakuru is slightly better

Nakuru City does not host the rally or any sports of such kind. Naivasha is in Nakuru County, that's not part of Naks City.

The brown teeth is caused by salty water in Naivasha and Nakuru areas.

[@fredrickochieng8112]

Not salty water but fluoride

Fluoride not salt

[@andeyo1]

luck of fluoride in central Kenya,, those people were not born in Nakuru

[@andeyo1]

The brown teeth is common in central Kenya due to luck of fluoride in the water. It is a sister mineral of chlorine, it it strengthen the enamel :and prevent teeth from decaying.

[@Samuel_traveller]

Nakuru looks good

[@deepsea-x]

Governor Lee truly did an amazing job.

[@felixdatche9278]

The reason for Nakuru not having tall buildings isn't about soils, it has a good bedroom, but it is all to do with the instability of the Rift Valley tectonic systems. Unless you can design a hugely earthquake proof structure like the Japanese, you'd be taking a huge risk with the ordinary buildings going tall. And also on the cleanliness front, they have improved, but they are not at the levels of Kisumu City. And their roads are worse. Overall, how do you find the Kenyan cities? Beautiful all round don't you think?

[@ugconnect]

Woow! Well understood

[@kenyanlivingabroad]

This is one of my city homes love it , I miss the place so bad as I so went to kericho which is also my home city too. Thanks for thanking me around to my town to see how they have developed I appreciate it alot been the fact I moved my wife yesterday to Nakuru town too.

Oh Nakuru my love, I love and miss you so much😘

[@ugconnect]

Thank you for watching

[@waitimuwaispear8129]

Water from around the region contains the elements that react to the teeth hence that colouring. Enjoy Nakuru or NaxVegas as it is famously called here in Kenya. You can also visit Naivasha, not far off along Nairobi highway but still in Nakuru county. Or alternatively you can take another road to Nyahururu, you get to view Nyahururu falls, then go to nyeri, lot's of things to do there like visiting mt kenya, Tree Top where late queen Elizabeth of England had visited when she was crowned as Queen and other places. Nanyuki and Meru too. Enjoy your time in Kenya bro!

Too much chlorine / fluoride n water causes discolouration of teeth, is mainly found with our brothers and sisters in central part of kenya ( Kikuyus) who happen to be the predominant tribe in Nakuru although Nakuru is cosmopolitan now.

[@ugconnect]

Thank you for the clarification brother

[@andeyo1]

Is not too much but luck Fluoride strengthen the tooth enamel thus preventing decay. Apart from killing pathogen in water we put chlorine in pumped water for same reason

Nakuru is a potato producing city,consuming alot of potatoes fried or with added sugars contribute to tooth discoloration over time that's the reason you're seeing many of them their teeth are affected

Potatoes don't actually contribute towards teeth decolorization. This is a myth most of us held true until we studied Chemistry. There is so much fluoride in Nakuru's ground water
