Wow am happy to see my rural home getting recognised. One love from diaspora and thank you for making me feel at home again.

[@nikinai4374]

BONGO comes from the Gíkúyú word MBOGO() as Merus would say-the M first, and to other Gíkúyú were saying BON-GO skipping the "m"...:-) so its the SAME WORD differently pronounced by different Gíkúyú...

[@Giithiomi]

It’s still Mbogo in Kikuyu

[@naamanmaina8563]

Timau my home 😍😍 thank you for showing to the world my little know home town

[@murageful]

THIS PALCE IS MAGICAL did'nt know exactly where Timau was.A business idea, this guy should renovate that observatory house to attract local tourists

[@jamesoptimum4980]

I was thinking the same, don't forget the locals will never see the potential of the property.. if he can sell to someone with bug idia it could be the best, airbnb, tourist attraction, its a peace of history, even that colonial house would be ideal as a hotel to be shared by many..

[@janenyambu1509]

So captivating ❤️👌🏽thank you NTV for taking us in the world of fantasy and now back to reality, hoping to visit these places soon….Maajaliwa 🙏🏽

[@davidndugere5665]

[@SpizesMuzik]

I was born and raised here in timau but for real, somethings are so new to me, can't believe it's the same Timau that I've known all along!!

I am going to explore Meru in a few weeks

[@daviddavis7959]

These houses and observatory should be turned into a resort and some of the proceeds goes to the owners and communities living in these areas. It would attract alot of tourists form biritish and italian . Also a resort would preserve the houses in top notch condition. They would rehabiltiate the place. Activites can be horse riding, hiking, excrusions to Mt Kenya etc

[@mpendakiswahili3053]

Why the British and Italians!! Don't we have our own local tourists....

[@wangui0011]

@treetops Mwitu😂😂 Dude your show is priceless. Thanks for always giving us a feast for the eyes 😍while educating us on how amazing and beautiful kenya 🇰🇪 is ❤️

[@t0n0k0]

I know a home made the same way, built in the early 70s by a Kenyan couple and it's still livable. Only the roof had to be replaced in the mid 90s. I have contemplated many a times of building something similar.

[@davidandmary7902]

We still have this kind of houses in Europe hawswa Spain ziko Kwa wingi

[@karimimiriti3827]

Kwa Ntoangaine wow thanks for taking us back to our old memories and taking us tour through our screens ❤️❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍 Undongo shosh I love your hair age gracefully ❤️

[@rang3688]

The advantage, the ownership of the house went to Angaine, who was widely recognised as the 'King of Meru.’ That is why it has been maintained. For the treetop, someone should rescue it. This is a historical monument.

[@gottimaranzano9409]

Here in the UK there are houses which are over 400yrs old and still standing and in good shape

[@rang3688]

@@gottimaranzano9409 yes, not only in UK that is very far, back in Kenya too, in Lamu, Malindi and Mombasa there are buildings with over 400 years and still standing.

[@kim1570]

Agreed. The issue with the other house, the former hotel, is that it fell into the hands of people who don't have the resources to maintain it. In any case, because it's a historical site, it should be the government 's responsibility to maintain it.

[@miltonm.muriungi203]

Timau town elevation is 2200 meters above sea level and Kiambogo is around 2550 meters above sea level. Did I hear you say 2800?

[@davidgachigo]

I like the comment at 12:34 about permission from the DO to cut a tree for construction. That is very true and was one of the protests lodged by Charles Elliot on behalf of the settler community in Kenya to the British Colonial Administration. The Book "No Picnic on Mount Kenya" is a good read on the Italian prisoners of war.

[@kim1570]

Thanks for that info.

[@Ngartia]

I grew up in Timaū and people were felling mītarakwa as recently as 20 years ago. Very curious when the laws applied so strongly.

A herculean task to replenish the indigenous forests for climate change and others important uses. Red cedar. Mitarakwa ya Lebanon. So, where is Lebanon in the world map?

The history of Kenya cannot be written by the Indian writers who dominate our school curriculum

[@mpendakiswahili3053]

Makosa ni sisi wakenya, hatutaki kujituma....waindi vitabu vyao vinasema eti walichangia kupigania uhuru ...woiiii

[@wangui0011]

History is always written by the winner. Until we write our own stories, the curriculum is subject to half- and untold truths. Why this channel is priceless 🌻

What are they doing to replant the trees, the kenya forest 🤔 its so green, how much is land in that end, don't give in plots..

[@lucysiringwani9931]

Please. Do not discard anything as this are antiques. Something should be done to preserve history.

[@kim1570]

I can't imagine how many more historical sites and buildings are dotted around the country, being in a state of disrepair..

[@fearnot9935]

These houses if they were built by Italians must be after 2nd world war in the fourties.
