Yoo! Kisii is really expanding, just like the universe itself. Kisii is obviously second after Eldoret
Kisii growth is skyrocketing
Kisii is growing rapidly,I wish we can have good planners for the case of the years to come.
Kisii town will burst one day. The city is in a crisis due to overwhelming rate of development. Watch out for kisii town, watch out for kisii people. The Cash flow in kisii town is so huge

i was in kisii town last month..i really enjoyed my stay there,,the weather,the night life,and damn the women😍😍😍!!
Okay guys I'm from Kabarnet but I'm currently studying at Kisii University and actually Kisii town is massive and what people don't know is that kisii town is like a mini metropolis comprising of small residential areas filled with apartments,,,,,, I've also realised the town is a financial and commercial hub for South Nyanza and South Rift regions,,,,,,,, another thing is that Kericho Town is quarter the size of kisii Town no joke,,,,,,,,But Kisii Town has a problem which is poor planning and there's always huge traffic during rush hours every day except Sundays..

Great observation. I live in Jogoo Estate of Kisii town and I can confirm your sentiments.
I am privileged to have lived in eldoret, kericho, homabay,kisumu, siaya and Nairobi. Kericho is beautiful but extremely cold and it's true that it rains almost daily. Kericho is one of the most beautiful places in Kenya. Eldoret is beautiful, affordable foodwise, has a great business enviroment, but needs organization and infrustructural expansion to cope with the increased population ,it also has a very good climate.

Kisii town is bursting. It's having a hard time coping with the rapid growth. And it's not going to slow down anytime soon
Kisii is abigger town than even eldoret, Actually it currently redeveloping roads and structures

You're a perfect Geography teacher doing an awesome job, I am from Uganda 🇺🇬but i have learnt the whole of Kenya.
Thika my town has great potential for expansion and development ,for it's metropolitan area c.b.d. just adjacent to where the town starts ,in Gatitu ,heading towards the other major towns of Juja and Ruiru ,close by. Development of Tatu city in Ruiru ,is ongoing, implying Thika might eventually link up, in development with these towns' infrastructures, to form a conglomerate major city ,just adjacent to Nairobi capital city ,with green landscape ,leisure and relaxation ,mix of urban and rural .
Kisii will be like a small Lagos or Maybe Kampala,it is growing rapidly but so congested and poor planning,,,but will keep having crazy money circulation no matter what,,,Kisii town is peaceful especially during times of political tension, investors never have to worry during elections.

Lovely video. Really surprised by Kisii
I agree with your ratings. I have learned a lot here. Never knew Kisii and Meru were that big. I fell in love with Kericho on the very first sight. Very clean and organized. If we purpose to plan our cities, we can be just like any other cities in the western world. Give it approx 10yrs with serious planning. I always feel like Nakuru and Eldoret can compete but Eldoret might have more potential due to the airport. That was good presentation brother.

Thanks Afrikan Traveller for keeping your word and populating the list of major Kenyan towns. Just a note, Eldoret is also an important and rapidly growing healthcare centre in Kenya due to its humorous good hospitals. In your next list you could also take a look at Kapsabet, a nice growing town

Awesome video... Eldoret is ripe for a city considering the 250,000 population threshold required... With few infrastructure improvement, it will soon be a city... The other 9 will require massive investment to come close to a city. While they can achieve 250,000 threshold this decade, infrastructure to sustain a city status will require more time.. We hope devolution will accelerate the infrastructure development.... Also, Garissa town is quite underrated
Big up for flying the Kenyan flag high and appreciating my home town Eldoret.
Am happy for kisii❤🔥
Kisii has influenced growth of Kisumu city unlike Thika getting influenced by Nairobi. Kisii also has Kisii University and other institutions branches. In 20 years, Kisii will be the biggest city in the lake regions. Not even Kampala can match this people. #bantuexpansion ongoing.

This is well balance....with the advent of devolution in Kenya, urban competition will streamline the organisation of proper urban settlements in Kenya..Thank you for the mention of Green Carpet City- Kericho
Hi bro. We agreed a year ago that you gonna visit Kitui town. There is a lot to see there including the famous Nzambani rock.
Great shots, good content. Keep it up!
My line up would be 1. Eldoret 2. Kisii 3. Thika 4. Kakamega 5. Nyeri 6. Meru 7.Machakos 8.Kericho 9.Naivasha 10.Isiolo 11.Garrisa 12.Malindi

Thankyou so much again Afrikan Traveller, I am learning a lot through you. Kenya is beautiful and Kudos to Kericho it looks organized and clean.
Eldoret Town deserves a city status.
The presentation is on another level. Just nailed it
Wow kissii is growing up
The African traveller you have the greatest and best inspiring content ideal for everyone across board especially travelling enthusiasts. Keep it up man and happy new year sir
This is a great 👍documentary of big towns to be considered for city status. You have to note that with the Amendment of Urban Areas and Cities Act has now classified all County Headquarters as Municipalities. So Kericho, Meru, Kakamega, etc are Municipalities. But also additional ones are Municipalities such as Naivasha, Thika etc are also Municipalities whic is added unit layer of service delivery for the County residents. My only omission here is Narok and Bungoma towns.

Mt Kenya towns have the laziest architecture and with very ugly structures... When I compare for example Nyeri and Meru with Kericho and Eldy, the last two are worlds apart with the first first two in terms of beauty and city planning... It's like Mt Kenya investors use their Njooro who double up as both the Architect and Foreman 😢😢😢
