My Parent's Simple and Beautiful Retirement Home in Kenya - Africa

[@goblack2africa54]

Great video, your dads house roof is an amazing design in America that roof would cost about $20k

[@AfrikanTraveller]

What!!! Its costly here as well but not half of that.

[@chriswabs]

That house looks to be about 120 square metres,,that should cost around 300k, Kenyan shillings to do that roofing (of course Varriatiations come in with the type of wood used for trusses or wether steel trusses are used, and the gauge of the sheet material used for roofing)

[@WaithakaEnt]

@@AfrikanTraveller yep...that's how much it cost to replace mine but good thing you have insurance because you can't get a mortgage without a full house inspection kwanza roof.

[@danielkiruri4882]

That house is worth 1.2 million dollars in the bay area San Francisco, Oakland walnut creek area

[@WaithakaEnt]

@@danielkiruri4882 Bay Area is crazy with the prices.

[@czogg99]

your parents are smart. Retirement homes should be a bungalow with no stair. when parents get older , climbing those stairs becomes a pain in the ass.

[@LightBulbMomentsKE]

Yeah...and then they are forced to move down stairs to the guest room

[@AfrikanTraveller]

Very true...

[@bellaolum9515]

True

This is no simple house bruh. It’s definitely beautiful. Props to dad and mum.

[@MrPdeps]

Kenya is well developed. Thank you brother for showing us beautiful Kenya.

[@AfrikanTraveller]

Karibu sana.

[@Okwash1]

Beautiful home brother. My home is done too in the county of Migori. Can't wait to relocate back home in the next 5 years. I'm tired with the big cities, I want to do farming and enjoy cool running easy life.

[@Khotsa]

That’s the spirit bro.

[@LostToAdventure]

Wow!It's really beautiful.... Retirement houses are the smartest move for anyone getting older...It's not done yet but someone can definitely visualize how it will turn out ....Thank you for sharing

[@AfrikanTraveller]

Karibu sana, and thank you for stopping by.

[@tbdan3793]

Thanks for showing us the country! I really liked these pretty landscapes, as always!

[@AfrikanTraveller]

You most welcome.

[@AfrikanTraveller]

Hey Nambenjere, thank you, will keep you guys posted on the progress.

[@mufasa1939]

Hi African traveller thank you soo much for this one ....i am from Nakuru but i am working in Qatar at the moment and its been a while since i came back home .... it made me feel back at home .

[@daveparko3519]

Wow, what a beautiful home, God bless your dad and your family. You should have introduced your dad to us. Bahati is a good place, very productive so farming can also work well for your dad to keep him busy. I love your videos.

[@AfrikanTraveller]

He was a bit engaged with the fund's, hopefully on our next visit.

[@AfrikanTraveller]

The place looks very fertile for any kind of farming.

[@petermungai7801]

Beautiful house African traveller. I appreciate your dad's effort. He is doing exceedingly well. I hope you're make a video of the final product once the works are finished. To you I say congratulations for the good work you continue to do. Through your eye, I have learned and come to appreciate a lot about my homeland. Thanks and keep up the effort.

[@AfrikanTraveller]

Thank you! You too!

[@liboyister]

Nice house. I visited Shemeji place ( meaning in-law, and not cousin) just before corona. The place has really changed for the better. Congrats.

[@africansubscriber4530]

Thanks for showing us this..the house is decent and once the whole place is done and tidied up it will look great..Nakuru is lovely ,I lived there for a year and half at a suburb called Naka ( I had the beautiful view of the game park right from the balcony )

[@AfrikanTraveller]

I love the landscape around Nax, so beautiful. Will keep you guys posted for the final product.

[@th82m26]

Naka is an affluent suburb not far from home area called kiamunyeki so I've seen it develop from plain land to what it is now.

[@maukadante739]

Naka is for the upper middle class in Nakuru I think it comes second after Milimani. Entry point for a 50*100ft plot is about 5mil front row.

[@th82m26]

@@maukadante739 true and the other difference is in Naka most are plots of 50*100ft but Milimani are 1/4 acre and above

[@adeolajackofallTrade]

African is where we retired but not where we invest... let help create jobs stability, good heart care syetem in african.. its for our own goods. great video by the way.

The fact that dad is attributing all the efforts and retirement projects to God, is just a blessing. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@IJUSTWANNAFLYDJIDRONES71]

If that’s a simple house i would love to have a simple house.

[@mozvidz]

IKR, of course he's being modest but we all know less than 5% of Kenyans can afford to build such a house. This is quite massive, and if it were for sale, would definitely exceed the 10 million mark (More than double if in Nairobi).

[@LightBulbMomentsKE]

You and I both 😅😅

[@nairobikenya_]

@@mozvidz 5%? More like 50%, most people inherited land and work hard, there are so many homes in villages just like this we are in 2021, only about 5% of people live in "huts" contrary to popular belief🤷🏾‍♀️

[@phyllisplays3811]

In my home area, this are kind of homes parents have, when i visited home 2019...there arw people who have been away for so many year, they have no idea how much so many areas in Kenya have changed...

[@DIYandArt]

@@nairobikenya_ true,was also thinking the same,most people build in the countryside these days,especially Those working away from the countryside

[@martinsm6425]

Wow, congratulations bro. Am so proud of you guys. Once you know the parents are well settled it's easier for one to even concentrate and work/invest for themselves.

[@ronniematrix89]

Good property and effort by your parents. Nakuru is beautiful, I've heard great things about that part of Kenya.

Nice. Am so familiar with the road and the areas. Originally from Kimuri, outside Eldoret Town...Schooled in Moi and my Ocha is now Nyahururu. At some point during the height of tribal clashes in 1992/93, we sought refuge at my relatives in Ngashura neighbouring Bahati.

[@AfrikanTraveller]

Wow! Am so familiar with those areas you've mentioned.

[@irenemechold3103]

Material used for building houses in the US is just some hard paper board which can just be swept away when it heavily rains, in Kenya they mostly use stone and concrete.
