Two main things you forgot to mention compared to the USA are; 1.Kenya..Nairobi is relatively safe in the context of no mass shootings 2. No one is targeting you because of your skin color. ( you forget about you skin color and see yourself as just human) isn’t that an amazing feeling ?

When it comes to speaking English. Kenya was colonized by the British so English is one of our adopted languages, it’s taught in schools and even when we speak Swahili we mix English at times, im a Kenyan living in America and I love seeing ppl taking the chance to see for and experience what they don’t show in mainstream media .🤗🤗

@jnjaramba no need to bring Tanzania into the mix whenever the discussion is about Kenya. FYI - Tanzania was colonised by Germany and later became a trusteeship of the Brits. We opted to focus on Kiswahili past the colonial era...no harm in self-identity if that's what rocks one's boat. Props to Kenya for speaking more English as it equates to "education" as you've put it. Much love ❤🇹🇿

Heightened security in Nairobi is cos of terrorist attacks that we experienced over time, so we don't take that for granted.

Actually, Somali food and Indian food are NOT international. There are Somali Kenyans and Indian Kenyans. In Kenya, each tribe has some food they identify with. There are commonalities as well, but some are specific to certain tribes. So, The Indian and Somali food you had is also just Kenyan food. I live in the US, but the best pizza I've had was in Kenya-Malindi... There is an Italian population that settled in the Kenyan coast mostly, so our pizzas can be really good!

Coming from someome born & raised in Nairobi, I'm enjoying your content covering Africa. Two things I'd like to mention; about security, we've had a few terrorist incidents in the past like the US embassy bombing way back in the late 90's but I was a toddler back then so I don't have any recollection of what the immediate reaction to that was but I was in high school when the Westgate attack happened about 10yrs ago & I'd say that's where security really got beefed up all around Nairobi in the malls, supermarkets, shopping centres etc. At this point anyone that's lived in Nrb for a significant amount of time is used to the security checks & as you guys mentioned, it does make you feel safe when visiting these places with lots of human "traffic". About the cultural diversity, I think it's worth mentioning that there are lots of tribes & ethnic groups here(over 40). A huge portion of the Indians you saw as well as the Arabs & Somalis are mostly Kenyan natives...like 3rd, 4th or even 5th generation cause some Somali tribes ended up being within the Kenyan borders when the colonialists were drawing up the borders & the Indian population is from when the British brought them over for labour when building the railways. The Arabs settled here ages ago along the coast when they came over mostly for trade purposes. I'll leave it at that cause I don't want to turn this into some essay, lol.

For settling in, I would advise diaspora Africans to consider the below for a more easier landing: Kenya, Ghana, Namibia, Rwanda and maybe Tanzania South Africa in that order. You will have less disappointments and self-doubt. After some time, you can now explore the field depending on your appetite for adventure. I will explain why if there is interest from readers.

The thing about the intense security checks, wasn't always like that. It became a big deal after the Westgate siege and the more recent Dusit hotel attack. So it became pretty much the norm for malls and public places like malls to heighten their security checks.
