As a Kenyan living in London, UK, this vlog makes me feel proud that Kenya has supermarkets which rivals the UK Supermarkets as well as shopping malls that are on equal footing with many of the shopping malls in London.

Lol its a western investment. It doesn't benefit Kenyans. The government has sold you out like every government. No local Kenyan benefits from main brands selling merchandise

I'm not Kenyan but I feel that same way. For me, why live in the US if everything I need is in Kenya where I can feel more at home

Always very detailed video. You're a professional when it comes to taking us around places in cities around the world. Thanks man.

Thank you very much!

Hi Jay, thanks for showing us this. Through your vlog i managed to see other African countries. As South Africans we tend to think there could be no better place than SA in Africa. When we travel its either the US or Europe, we never go to other countries within the continent because we are given the perception that they are too poor or nothing good about them. Maybe some day in future when finances permit one can consider travelling the entire Africa.

You bring up an interesting thought I've always had. How do Africans feel about other Africans from another country. I've already gotten some serious insights on how the South Africans feel about "African Foreigners". This kind of reminded me of a South African brother I met in Washington DC many years ago who had negative opinions of Nigerians. I didn't understand it.

South Africans need to get out of their bubble. Nairobi is a global city that rivals the 2 biggest cities in SA Jo'burg and Cape Town.

Westgate mall is a really nice mall. The architecture and aesthetics differentiates it from many malls in Kenya. Try village market in Gigiri area, one of the oldest malls in Kenya and among the best if not the best.

Thanks for the tips!

Great vid Jay! Your exclamation at the hair products is a fair one…as a Kenyan married to a Black woman, that’s something that I’d say is hard to explain as there truly isn’t a culture around hair-even though Kenya does have the resources to produce and export some incredible products. Just my thoughts, but again, great point and great video. (I’m currently out West with my wife’s family, hoping to visit Kenya later this year or earlier 2024…)

That's something I noticed in Kenya as well as in South Africa. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but I guess I was surprised at the sheer amount of hair products in a grocery store. That's something you won't find in the US unless you go to a beauty supply store but only in areas where there's a large number of blacks. Thanks for watching. 🙏🏾

@@NomadicJayye2021 absolutely! Love your content. Stay safe through the protests. But hope you also have a great time with your visit. If you can, please check out the Hub Mall in Karen as well as the Prestige Mall and the Junction Mall, the Muthaiga/Runda neighborhoods and part of the food scene at Nairobi Street Kitchen. I think it might prove to be a good time. But do let me know what you think, brother

How were you able to film in this high security mall? After the deadly attack in 2013 the mall is heavily guarded and security is very tight!

I just pulled out my camera started filming. I wasn't aware you couldn't film. They had security but I wouldn't call it heavy security considering what happened years ago. I actually thought Two Rivers Mall had more security.
