[@4thecultureco]

Asante sana

[@kbeach1313]

I'm from the US, my girlfriend and I have stayed here on several occasions. Super modern, nice accomdations. Beautiful landscaping with lots of green spaces.

[@4thecultureco]

Thanks for sharing!

[@joewachira9703]

hope the county and government will start fixing the roads around the estates in Nairobi soon as promised

[@ScriptieThe]

You could also check out apartments in the Ruaka area which is in the suburbs but not too far from town. The road network is much more better than what I have seen in this video.

[@4thecultureco]

Thanks for the tip, I’ll check it out!

[@sarafinalove5330]

I love the three bedroom apartment overlooking the national park. WOW

[@4thecultureco]

Thank you

[@tonyafrica7085]

You are truly representing the reality of Nairobi well dada! Great video, for sharing!!!

[@4thecultureco]

Asante sana! Keep watching for more Nairobi adventures!

[@NerdNovaTech]

Wow, 4 The Culture really knows how to capture the vibrant essence of Nairobi! From exploring luxurious apartments to attending the city's first Comic Con, this video is a testament to how diverse and exciting life in Nairobi can be. It's amazing to see the blend of modern living and creative culture come alive. Nairobi isn't just a hub for business; it's a space where art, innovation, and luxury intersect. Kudos to 4 The Culture for showcasing the city's dynamic vibe makes you want to pack your bags and experience it all firsthand!

[@4thecultureco]

Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

[@peterkimani3364]

This is the best video you've done so far.

[@ringringring1718]

Wish the machakos county govt would take those estate roads seriously. The vertical development in Syokimau is years ahead of the horizontal infrastructure.

[@4thecultureco]

Thanks for watching

[@Morido-1]

I need to be in Nairobi like right now! That intro is dope!

[@4thecultureco]

Thank you for letting us know that our channel has encouraged you to visit Nairobi ASAP

[@thebomb5629]

I always advice visitors to avoid Boda Bodas. I am a local and never use them for safety and security reasons. Stats are out there for anyone who wants to argue.

[@bellaolum9768]

Me neither, those things scare me to the core, can't stand them!

[@4thecultureco]

Thanks for the advise noted

[@markhenryford6981]

Use online bodaboda

[@stainerwakwao5275]

Bikes are safe just don't take them in the ghetto ie at night

[@DcRaiseMe]

The 3rd one fasho 🤟🏿

[@ScriptieThe]

The Tree Apartments are really very beautiful! A view of the nairobi national park is a great plus! Hope its affordable and you are able to settle for it as your choice. Welcome to Nairobi!

[@4thecultureco]

I know right

[@DoreenSten]

Karibu Kenya and feel at home❤❤❤

[@freddiekipkoech4752]

[@dorisasige7126]

Yeah for sure that's what I like about her ,she's very patient and accommodative.

[@4thecultureco]

Thanks, I really appreciate your support!

[@coyoluo]

The last apartment was really nice.

[@elsiec2356]

The 3rd apartment is niiice!!!❤❤

[@4thecultureco]

I agree!

[@dr.phillips2008]

​@@4theculturecohow much was the last appointment?

[@hk254lyt8]

It’s so sad that our government is not taking road maintenance seriously

[@polycarpkadima5385]

They are keeping it authentic, they are trying to keep it as natural as possible 😉

[@hk254lyt8]

@ bruh

[@Yourunclestoenail]

Welcome to Africa

[@wenotlikethem]

Titus is a cutie pie!

[@martino6205]

Before 1963, during colonial times, black Africans were not allowed to live in cities, except men who worked for the government, and they could only live in bachelor or single quarters in Eastlands . Eastlands was the only place black people could live in Nairobi, and couldn't bring wives. In European areas of the city, they kept black servants such as cooks (males were referred to as "kitchen Toto's",- Barack Obama's granddad became one after he left the British Army) (toto means big baby), gardeners etc. And because Africans were not allowed to walk in the city without passbooks (were called "kipande", and were a piece of metal hang on the neck with personal details, native reserve, work permit and residents permit for Nairobi/town enclosed), the white home owners had to construct "servant's quarters" for their workers. Due to tradition and the building code having servant's quarters, they kind of stuck to date.

[@mopride7249]

Interesting and sad

[@charleskilonzo3662]

This is interesting. I didn't know toto had such a bad reputation, especially for men. I mean why would anyone call a big man toto?

[@glanceexperience]

Quite interesting and info… sad tho.

[@ewm4266]

My home town Syokimau 😊😊😊

[@cybertroy2]

That view is perfect. all you need is binoculars. i wonder how often a train passes by though, with the train tracks so close to the apartment.

[@4thecultureco]

I’ll have to ask the owner, I wasn’t paying attention to that!

[@SamWright-y2b]

You are doing good with the videos 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@4thecultureco]

I'm glad you enjoy them!

[@MohamedAbdalla-c8u]

One thing about Nairobi you could be bored there is always something to do 😊😊

[@mikega1252]

Please show houses as well for those who do not want to live in an apartment. You did an excellent job with showing the apartments. Do it as a business.

[@4thecultureco]

I will work on that. Thanks for watching!

[@MsBlueBox-te9yq]

Wow. You mean we aren’t limited to the expensive Westlands!! I’m midway through. I hope you left this agent’s info. Thank you!

[@Itsistarlyn]

Hello Dear!!!! Your video was amazing and I enjoyed it all the way through but I am here to comment that I have never heard of showing fee so don’t get GOT next time. I grew up in kenya and I visit every year now. Hearing about showing fee is a first. ❤❤❤ sending you much love

[@4thecultureco]

Thanks for the support, well i cant speak for them but what i can say is that, your location to the apartments could be a factor and for that reason(s) you would need means of transportation and that is what he explain as the viewing fees.

[@Itsistarlyn]

@ yeah makes sense!! I wonder if it would have made a difference if you had met him at the apartment complex and he didn’t have to transport you there? Realtors do get a good sum once you rent the apartment but this is definitely first time hearing about this fee. Please share your experiences once you start showing us other apartments and houses once you settle down. Looking forward to your other contents and please take us along for the furnishings of your home.

[@hk254lyt8]

It started recently. These people don’t get paid and many people are viewing the house without buying

[@Slingshots8]

loved it ❤❤

[@miriamhoward5865]

Very beautiful apartments 😍🇰🇪

[@4thecultureco]

Thanks for watching!

[@ajmwa1982]

Cool place to stay

[@4thecultureco]

Yes indeed

[@sahraoui8338]

Wakanda 😁

[@NixonAketch]

Girl I love your content 🎉new subscriber❤

[@4thecultureco]

Thanks for subscribing! I'm glad you like my content.

[@TheCollinsMulla]

Showing fee is essential so that he or she is covered in case you don't pick any of the apartments they show you.

[@izzidinabdi6064]

All this apartment you showed ist in syokimau

[@der1966]

What about the loud neighbors upstairs when they are home? Oh no!

[@jamesmaina7004]

Nice

[@escalade8759]

That might work for our adult children.

[@naturerazzi7shi495]

Wait guys!!! Did Titus say you can rent and Air BnB the apartment?? Is this legal in Kenya? I thought you need to buy the place first??? Update me!

[@ManuelGMYT]

btw syokimau is not in nairobi its in machakos

[@zedekiahkwame640]

Nairobi Cosmopolitan ‼️🙏

[@mugwealicia9666]

Nicd apartment there ,please avoids boda it risky .. it better to use uber

[@worldpetscocktails]

❤

[@grateful9672]

They need an association, clean up the surrounding areas

[@vanessaedwards54]

Thank you, my sister. I will be in Kenya 2025 if it's the LORD'S will. 🙏👑🥰💪

[@4thecultureco]

you welcome sister

[@MH-et4bo]

What’s the agents name and company didn’t understand the accent

[@HakiimLukman-vt3yq]

The roads😢

[@tdunde]

Showing fee (consultation fee).

[@MyPrince-o6n]

This place was " Hell" few months ago during long rain season. People lost everything.

[@4thecultureco]

Which places are Hell?

[@edwing.poweroftheonegodsmith]

Hello You just moved into a Apartment and I’m looking for a good apartment in Kenya like the Tree Apartments and was wanting to know how to get one, I wrote you a few weeks ago but you haven’t answered me as of yet. Can you me the agent information please

[@HakiimLukman-vt3yq]

3 bed rooms at 360usd🤔

[@nolundipukwana1286]

Girl come to South Africa we don't charge people just to see apartments

[@mikega1252]

At least you still gave him a chance to show you the apartments even though he didn’t have a car.

[@dwightthementor]

He doesn't need a car.

[@mikega1252]

@ He needs a car 🚗 to show people places in comfort. It would be better for his business and would attract more customers.

[@CandicePittman-e7d]

Apartment showing fees: make home ownership; a more affordable option for stability!?.

[@gem5812]

Hi there,what are the guys social media details?

[@4thecultureco]

its in the video

[@margaretkirimania1220]

But why write Luxury?

[@michaelomuse]

absolute class . but a fee for showing was new to me but overall enjoy your stay in the pride of AFRICA KENYA

[@samanthamerchant702]

Are single black females safe there if we want to buy land/property?

[@markjabari1101]

Technically most women there are black since it's Africa so maybe specify single American women 😂

[@adrianmkwanda]

I was there 3 weeks ago and i dealt with plenty agents and never paid showing fee and never provided transport and not to talk of motorbike taxi 'Bodaboda' . My point is please do a proper due diligence before you embark on such trip. I believe you dealt with an amatuer disguising as a realtor. Next time becareful, you might land in the hands of a ruthless imposter.

[@lexxalex5562]

Im about to go through the same process. Is it cool if I pick ur brain?

[@Lamarveille]

Hi there! Nice stumble upon your channel. Will watch the older videos. I felt you needed more time to explain the "house-help" / "domestic manager" culture better. Maybe you may make a whole vide next time interviewing real people about it. I know for people in the USA or other cultures it may seem ridiculous, so some clarity may be needed to help people from other cultures to understand. And, to be politically correct we now say "Staff Quarters" not "servant quarters" for DSQ i.e Detached Staff Quarters :-)

[@TheWellnessCapital]

Thats far off

[@trvkim9435]

You got scammed, how can you get charged to be shown an apartment? You'll learn with time

[@4thecultureco]

It’s common but I think it’s a new practice

[@duduville]

Am a kenyan and i have paid before to agents just to be shown an apartment..its normal although there are some who will not charge you but its the norm so she wasn't scammed

[@hk254lyt8]

@@trvkim9435 it’s the norm these days

[@ScriptieThe]

No she wasn't scammed. Infact she was charged a very small amount. Am Kenyan and back in 2015 I paid more than that.

[@Linahdia]

Be careful with some Kenyans....some want to prey on foreigners cash coz they know you are new especially when they hear you have an accent since that is what will mainly show them you are a foreigner
