    AFRICA,1 Day in Nairobi, Truth of KENYA



    AFRICA,1 Day in Nairobi, Truth of KENYA

    We came to Nairobi with expectations… and left with our minds completely blown.
    In just one day, we experienced more contrast, chaos, beauty and humanity than we ever imagined possible. From feeding giraffes at the famous Giraffe Center, to riding through wild Nairobi traffic in Ubers, to eating real local Kenyan food and getting lost inside the colorful Masai Market — this city showed us every side of Africa in just a few hours.
    Nairobi is not what people think.
    It’s not just safaris and wildlife.
    It’s skyscrapers, street life, markets, music, traffic, smiles, hustle, and soul.

    In this video you’ll see:
    🦒 Up-close moments with giraffes in the middle of a major city
    🚗 Crazy Nairobi traffic from inside our Uber
    🍲 Real Kenyan street food and local spots
    🛍️ The vibrant Masai Market
    🌆 A city that constantly shifts between modern and raw
    ❤️ And why Nairobi ended up being one of the most surprising places we’ve ever visited

      12:27 I am assuming it might be the same reason in Kenya as it is in Cameroon, but in many African cultures your whole being is more than just your mind and body. Your being extends to be a bundle of spiritual/ancestral/social existence all at once, all around you.

      So everything that is an extension of you is you. Your image, your voice etc. so when you take a picture of them some may feel as if though you are taking a part of them and exerting power over them. This psychology came about and was reinforced during the first introduction of the cameras in Africa.

      People being photographed were later targeted, imprisoned studied etc. which led the locals to believe that the photographer had power over them by taking a part of their being.

      Sorry for the long answer but i felt a short answer wouldn’t explain it properly.

      It looks like an amazing adventure🙂🙂
      A new continent means new experiences and sensations. The visit to the giraffe center was fantastic, especially since there were so many giraffes, and it looked like they were just roaming freely.

      I see that you guys drove past an office space I used to work in (in Westlands), lol. Karibu Kenya, & I hope you enjoy(ed) your stay.
      A little pointer for something you mentioned at the end, I can understand your interest in going to see the slums, and I can also understand the concern on the other hand. I've grown up in Nairobi & I'll be honest with you & say there are certain areas I simply can't go to for security reasons. You can definitely see some of the slums if you have a guide that knows what he's doing if you go during the day but with most other parts like Westlands & other surrounding areas, I often walk alone at night with no issues. I just stay aware of where I'm walking & I know not to be wandering if it's too late when businesses are closed for example.
      I'm sure you'll have a great time at the Mara, having been on a number of safaris down there. Some of my best memories are from my experiences out in the wild.

      I think you might have gone to a different market, not the actual Maasai Market. The real Maasai Market is mainly for crafts and handmade items, not second-hand clothes. There are separate markets for second-hand clothing, and the Maasai Market also changes location depending on the day hence it’s not ideal for selling clothes.
