Tribal Trails: Can I Befriend the Tribes ? 🇰🇪 vA 72

I ride from Marsabit to a small town called Laisamis, at the border between the Rendille and the Samburu tribes. On the way, I meet a few strange characters.

When you pass by Nairobi, one of the bike clubs should give you an escort, 100 + people to show proper support and raise awareness on the importance of cycling lanes, thanks

[@StephenMumbwani]

Can someone please organize for that, it would be interesting to see him welcomed by about 100 cyclists and ascoted to town and maybe have an event in town for a day or two before embarking on his journey

[@VINCEAKOKO]

@@StephenMumbwani Yes! Yes! I just don't know admins, but when I was using strava I realized there's solid biker groups ni Nairobi that even cycle from Nairobi to Mombasa, Naivasha..etc, any suggestions?

ive been many times to kenya and love the people and the country ... just some advice ... : the closer you come to the coastline and big city some people will give you sometimes the feeling that they see you just as a giant white purse with 2 legs full of money... the most important sentence i learned in kiswahili was : i have no money . sina pesa .

@@michaelb4290 In a city like London, being a foreigner can result in having things taken from you by force. However, in this case a misconception and language barrier, as well as cultural differences, can make one appear rude despite having good intentions. Easily understood.

I don’t normally like watching foreigners touring kenya because they always show the most sketchiest and ghetto places of the country but this guy is amazing it’s so interesting, as someone who has lived in kenya for half of my life I always thought the north was a desert but he’s taught me a lot and it’s so interesting to see him learn more about our culture nice videos!

From Isiolo to Nairobi, the trip may be a bit risky because of increased vehicle traffic and you may need to be more careful. You need something big and reflective so that speeding drivers can see you from afar to avoid hitting you. Have a safe journey.

Dear Kino Yves I'm Biruk, and I'm from Ethiopia. Your traveling videos are enjoyable and fascinating. I decided to follow your KZbin channel for that reason. A simple inquiry for your safety during your trip to the Ethiopian Mursi tribe. I want to make sure I understand this information for myself because several Ethiopian KZbinrs have told us that you were shot down by armed tribesmen in Ethiopia. I'm worried about your safety. I hope your trip to Kenya is nice and enjoyable. Biruk

[@bumblebee4280]

I think he's alive as seen here, otherwise he wouldn't upload.

[@afranwaliso2807]

Check all his videos and you will find the truth. He was robbed somewhere in Omo, and they took his cameras and his passport. After that he traveled back to France and returned to Ethiopia to continue his journey. Courageous strong man Kino Yves now reached North Kenya. The fact, some Ethiopian political activists who spread false information don't like someone showing the world that Ethiopia is a peaceful country to travel through.

[@thewill-k-way]

Actually right now a lot of people are struggling in the country with soaring cost of living. Even in Nairobi, once middle class people have lost jobs and slowly being turned into beggars. In that part of the country, the people are more comfortable speaking their mother tongue than Swahili. Yves so far is lucky not to have encountered armed bandits. That guy ‘demanding’ 200/- and most of his food was the closest thing to that, but fortunately he was not violent when Yves refused to give more than he did. Like most Kenyans, we assume every white person is rich, well at least they are richer than us. So if you are in an arid area, with little or no food and most often associated white people with food aid and tourism, you can see how the guy must have perceived Yves. He was definitely more aggressive in his a approach than most of the other people in the video. Maybe the only other person that came close was that old ‘catholic’ lady - Antonella -looking for sponsorship for her kids/grandkids. Emma was more subtle and strategic in her approach and got a pineapple for her troubles while Antonella received her 5 bananas. So far Yves has caught on the fact that he needs to be prepared for more such encounters in future and bought extra food. Wise move. All in all Epic journey being caught on camera!

[@gunsdeluxe]

I believe you should assertively decline requests more frequently. By doing so, you also gain some kind of respect. It's a typical behavior to be persistent when you desire something and perceive a possibility of obtaining it. After declining, if the person persists, you have to go, but if they understand, the encounter can become more interesting.

[@jessicah0002]

as a kenyan,i agree. just decline.

Do not keep on stopping to everyone on the road a part from uniformed police officers. Not everyone can give you directions so be selective as you seek assistance. Those safety measures will guarantee you security.
