🇰🇪 (watch the video)

Kenya is probably my favorite country in Africa.

He doesn't hate Kenya, our guy is just playing along with the words, listen, it's sad though you are leaving 😪

Kenya really does seem like a lovely place. I'm very picky about my travel destinations, but Kenya is now on my wishlist. Greetings and love from Finland

I lived in Nairobi for six months in 1999 and your video makes me miss Kenya so much. It’s a beautiful place with beautiful people. I have so many amazing memories and friends there. I’ve been able to go back a few times and plan to return in 2022. You have to visit Eldoret if you return. The Rift Valley is gorgeous.

Kenyan some of the most coolest people I have ever met, greetings from Tanzania 🇹🇿 pamoja sana.

I've got to say that through your videos I can see how awesome Kenya looks on many levels BUT especially how lovely the people are. Hi to the Kenyan's that might see my message. From Malta.

I’m a kenyan in San francisco and this video just made me miss home so much. Thank you so much for this!!

You changed my view about Africa in general. I hope to visit Africa and Kenya someday. Thank you. You are the best travel blogger. Very genuine and fun.

Tommy actually gets stopped in the street by fans! Look at that. You're officially one of our own Tommy and it's sad to see you go. Next time you come back we're giving you an official Kenyan welcome at the airport. Asante kwa kujenga jina la Kenya. Tutapatana.

This felt like saying bye to a friend who even though i met for only 2 months, we had a hell of a time. Safe travels Tommy. You are always welcome back here!

East Africa - (Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda) has been so hospitable to Sabbatical. Thanks for showcasing all the positive of the region 🙏🏾. I hope this will change the narrative of westerners.

As a Brit I can say my American cousin has done Kenya proud. Kenyan's are like no other, they really are the best!

I lived in Kenya for four years back in the day. I remember my dad was reposted to Brussels in our second year but we stayed there because... why not? Great country, great people and way underpriced commodities (give you an example- the house we lived in in Kenya would probably have cost around $9,000-$10,000 a month to rent in DC where we lived b4: in Kenya, only $3,000 a month. Bread cost like 40 cents and last time I visited in 2018, the mobile plans were crazy cheap and my phone actually had service in a FRIKEN' ELAVATOR! *lookin at you T-Mobile*). Every time I tell people about my experiences in the country, they ask me where I got the nutsack to go to CNN's self-coined 'terror hotbed'. I dunno why but I take that personally and I ain't even Kenyan. Honestly, when I get the money and freedom- I probably will go back to raise my family there because... Why not? Kenya really is a great country and just needs to dust-up its government: if that is done, pretty sure we'll be looking at a Singapore in Africa by 2040.

Heeey tommy its lydia thuku here and it was so nice being in your video i cant beleive i actually met you in person you have great eyes and like you said you will say nice things about kenya and actually did...i enjoy your content always😘😘

I'm sure there are some people who disliked this video even before watching it 😁😁😁. Thanks for promoting Kenya, Tommy, and welcome back. Looking forward to your next videos.

What impresses me the most about your videos is not just how you're willing to go and speak with the locals (in whichever country you seem to visit) but how you do your best to speak with them in their own language. You've taken the time and considerable effort to do more than expect them to speak English, which, in my humble opinion, gives you better access and insight to those travels. Respect.

I'm a Kenyan living here in the U.S -- I was sooooo ready to find you when you return to NYC , and drag your ass back to Kenya If the title wasn't a Joke lolololol. Glad you enjoyed my home country man, I can see from the twinkle in your eye , that you'll def be back. #NextCountry

You are an excellent travel youtuber So empathetic to people Humble and wise.

I have so much respect for you bro for having an immersive experience in Kenya. I was born and brought up in old town, the area where you spent a little time. Kenyans are amazing people. They are friendly, resourceful and survivors (as they have to), The biggest problem in Kenya like many countries is the political leaders and police who face zero accountability. Asanta sana Rafiki na nenda salama.

I'm not even African let alone been there, but this video got me emotional. Happy and safe travels dude. And thank you Kenya 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪

Aww..I almost shed a tear..the anthem made it even more emotional. Hope you'll be back.

I visit Kenya every year and I felt homesick seeing you leaving just as I feel homesick when I leave.

To upcoming KZfaqrs , that was a free tutorial how to do a review about a place ; exquisite . Nice job man , all the best and you’re always welcomed back to 🇰🇪

This has to be the best "bad review" I've seen. Been following Tommy for some time now since the early Tz days. The Kenyan content has been surreal and I'm sure you'll be back. Point number 7 couldn't be more true. It's our national embarrassment. We'll fix it some day. Karibu tena

I think I got a tear on my eye🥲 Tommy is a wonderful human being hope you come back again. 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🤘🏿🤘🏿 EastAfrica Twasonga mbele pamoja

Man, that was one big promotion for a country most of us barely knows. At least, you changed my perspective on Kenya. Hope, I'l make it to Kenya one day...

I live in Kenya & my soon-to-be wife is Kenyan. I'm from the UK. I had the same feelings before going to Africa (first went to Tanzania) & its embarrassing, even for a liberal minded guy to be totally wrong about my expectations. When they talk about developed countries they mean wealth - if was based on crime, murder, drug abuse, corruption etc. then both the UK (& also most of Europe) & the USA would be the most underdeveloped countries on the planet. Thank you for making & sharing these videos, & painting an accurate, respectful picture of Kenya. Kenya isn't without its problems: neither are our countries. But Kenyans at least haven't forgot to smile. Take care

You are amazing . Wishing you all the best on your next adventure. Thanks for making us smile 😊

Bruh, I've never been this emotional from a vlog

One thing I hate in Kenya is when "Several Kenyans" describe their country as the worst to live in than any other country! They create a feeling of a "certain hell 🔥". Kenyans love your country please, it is the best home ever. Love from DRC. I'll visit once more.

having been kenya as a zimbabwean i agree with sabbatical, the people there are awesome and their culture was srprisingly very similar to ours

Our 🇰🇪 national anthem is out of this world 🌎, it's emotional 😢 Thanks Sabbatical for showcasing Kenya to the world

Those cops and everyone asking for “kitu kidogo” really pissed me off. However, that being said, I’m glad you overlooked all the silly small stuff. As a Kenyan I am embarrassed though. 🤨. Kenyans hate corruption too! 😡

Balala should just make this guy the Kenyan Brand Ambassador in NY!! Tommy. Consider Kenya your home. Welcome back.

What a nice and emotional ending. I've enjoyed all your videos and it's sad to see you leave. Karibu tena! Godspeed on your next.

Kenya loves you right back for being true to yourself and others. Godspeed you champ!!

I love how you showed this side of Kenya. Something most westerners are shy to do. They’re only obsessed with filming poverty

Tommy is so emotional in this one. Travel can be hard man. Having to leave just when you feel you've finally connected with people you now have to leave. Sojourn brother. Keep keeping on 🙏

Kenyan people are the most humble kind, respectful and down to earth I have ever come across and I have travelled and lived in several countries.

Beautiful tribute to the country and its peoples. Emotional ending was unexpected. Well made video from the heart. Love it. I was born in Kenya but moved to Canada at the age of 14. You make me want to go back, except for the traffic. I am sure you will go back and am waiting for your further, authentic takes on your travels.

I can’t agree more. Love this guy humor at the end. Ngumi mbwegze 🤣🤣. Fact: Kenyans are way cooler than most ppl I’ve met. One love kenya 🇰🇪

Tommy is in the habit of comparing kenya to Tanzania (in a competitive way) he's becoming a true East African.

You'll be dearly missed in Kenya! Your interesting videos brought joy to my dinner table as my family and I have been keeping tabs on all your episodes. We look forward to having you back as there are still a tone of places yet be exploited. Asante sana!

Come back soon you crazy mzungu! ❤🇰🇪✌

OMG....Nacheza kama mimi..wewe cheza chini😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. I swear YOU THE BEST 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

Excited for the next adventure! Been learning so much from these videos and enjoying the hell out of them. Much love

Love the content. Rich and honest. I can relate with your experience. So on point!!

Your content is so real and authentic everyday am checking on the new upload

In Sub-Saharan Africa, Kenya is the third richest country in terms of GDP after South Africa and Nigeria. In terms of per capita income Botswana, Namibia, Seychelles, and Mauritius rank higher than Kenya. Kenya, just like any capitalist nation is disadvantaged by high inequality. Kenya is unique, we have tribalism and of course leadership with funny priorities. We can do better as a country. Am a proud Kenyan. Thank you Tommy for your visit to Kenya Stay safe. Thank you to all Kenyans who made Tommy,s experience here awesome and unforgettable.

i loved these kenya adventures!

I remember watching Sabbatical leaving TZ for Uganda. .n praying that for some reason he'd decide to come to Kenya. .. after all the warnings he'd got about Kenya from Tanzanians, I thought was only just be a slight slim chance he'd come. .. and when he finally decided to come, I was overjoyed! A friend even joked that one would be forgiven to imagine either Tommy and I were acquaintances, or that I was sure we'd meet and he'd arknowledge me somehow. .. sadly we didn't even meet. .. but it was still fun to see my country through his lens .. great vlog! I'm HOOKED!

Amazing how U have grasped the language in a short time . welcome back againg nice video..talk about Kenya to the world Ur our ambassador

Nairobi is a beautiful and modern city. Kenya is a developing economy. I love the infrastructure. Keep up Kenyans.

Thank you so much, Tommy! People are obviously misinformed about Africa and that's not okay. It's true that we have issues, just like everyone else. But we do also possess abundance of positive things. Thank you for shedding light on this. The negative portrayal of Africa by the western world is not fair and I believe something should be done about it, and it starts with us. You have done a brilliant job. You have been a good sport. And good luck on your future endeavours.

I love Kenya ,thank you for showing us love from South Africa 🇿🇦.I love how Kenyans are trilingual like most South Africans .

The best thing I love about this channel is absolute positivity keep going we love you

This guy and Dave Mani are my favorite visitors to Kenya! Y'all are the best 👌 Tommy, you rock brruh!

Ngumi mbwegze, Hugs & Peace Sabbatical. The video ends so emotional. You almost made me she'd a tear saying byebye. I like how you ended it with our National Anthem, Wow! You are a great, friendly, real & intelligent person. I hope to meet you one day. Mimi ni mKenya naishi California.

Times I've been emotional about our national Anthem: 1. When a Kenyan athlete wins a race esp. internationally 2. When Sabbatical pulls it off on me at the end of the vlogVid.. 3. When I used to get late to Primary School assembly and hearing it meant there's no way to escape the meeting between my but and an "instrument of behavior correction" traveling at the speed of sound. ..

any chance you could do a comparison video about Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania/Zanzibar, which aspects you liked the most and least about them and expected costs etc

I think because we live here we take some things for granted, and we have been conditioned to hate our own country. Of course there is alot of corruption going on, but really that is all it boils down to. politics and corruption is like a virus it seeps into the everyday mwananchi. Thank you for reminding me that there is so much to appreaciate about my country. Thank you very much Sabbatical. Promise us you will be back once you hit 1,000,000 subs. And as is custom in kenyan tradition, tell us before you come 🤣

I forgot to like the video, so i returned. Glad i've found this channel, thanks Tommy!

Bazuu👊👊.. will really miss your Kenya tours , great traveler ,#positive vibes, that national anthem ending man its really touching

Never seen a foreigner cover Kenya so honestly. Kenya has its issues which we are aware of and wish we could change, but the people keep it livable and interesting. Great work Tommy

wow what an emotional ending plus the national anthem to make things spicy. we will miss you in Kenya tommy.

I loved your African trip vids. the end makes me little sad . I know what you feel and your thoughts. looking forward to the next episodes. greetings from Belgium. Thanks Tommy .

Hey your videos are great.. Keep them coming 😃

This is Legendary. Indeed there is a Kenya beyond Nairobi, it's beatiful and am glad you my friend, showed it to the world. God bless

I'm proudly Kenyan. Your adventures were epic. From 'Everyone knows me' to Mo in Garissa 😂😂. I loved it. Hollywood script in the making.

Gained 40k subs in Kenya, that's the place to be as a content creator

Beautiful videos Tommy! Thank You for sharing!

Dude you are freaking amazing...I just ran into your video on my plan trip to Nairobi and I wish I was just right there travelling with you. Thank you for the info.

I was there for their international building expo 2019 and Kenya was planning on spending 143 billion USD in 5 years in construction & development. So glad I can see things are happening. Will gladly go back and call it home for me to retire in. The people & their spirit is so uplifting.

Your stay in Kenya concided with my college final exams,your videos were a nice relief from exam pressures......thank you for the good content,welcome back again....#everybody knows me😂

Tommy, you just did it. You made me shed tears for this video. Please come back.

Thank you man. This is really nice. Made my country look awesome. Always welcome back. Don't be a stranger. I am however waiting for your video on the wealthiest neighborhoods of Nairobi. You did one for all the other countries.😊

Why did I cry at the end🥲. Our beautiful anthem❤️

Thank you Tommy for your honest feedback. I am glad you love the country Kenya. You are welcome again

Sabbatical I hope you enjoy making these videos because I sure do love watching them from here in Australia

Wow those were lots of good stuff you said bout Kenya.Welcome back to Kenya Sabbatical 🤗.

Our cops are obsessed with money and it is sickening even for Kenyans. Anyway, thank you for being the best ambassador for Kenya. It is sad you had to leave.

This has been an awesome ride.....loved every bit of your visit to East Africa!! Much love and hope you come back and visit the places you said you didn't get to. Peace and love!!

I feel so nice when someone talk positively about my home country

Am sure you will come back to Kenya. Travel well. And thank you for promoting Kenya showcasing the positive attributes of the country. Kenya is on the right track

Funny part is that after talking about police corruption, another cop goes ahead and asks for coffee

As someone who’s never been to Africa I really wanna go one day. Going to have to put Nairobi on the list. :)

Been watching your videos for a day now. Nice attitude. Respectful and kind. Good luck to you bro...

Thanks for an awesome video! Gonna watch the rest of yours vids from Kenya because I plan to travel there next year when I turn 40 :) Would you recommend staying most time in Nairobi or Mombasa? Best regards ! Joe

I LOVE IT! I want more after every video 😂 You're doing an awesome job, I love how your channel is exploding!

Great video and you almost had me tearing up at the end. Goodbye Tommy and good luck. I hope your path brings you to Kenya again

I once again fell in love with my country 🇰🇪

I have been travelling to Kenya for 15 years, the difference in that time has been amazing. The buildings and infrastructure growth continues to amaze. What I noticed the first time to Nairobi was the number of people walking, now it is the traffic. In spite of the improvement of the roadway system the traffic is a nightmare. Corruption with the police & public servants generally is seriously holding the country back. Other than that it is a beautiful country to visit, as you say, not just for the safaris.

Man, this is the most emotional video you ever made. Surely Kenyans will miss you too. I'm not Kenyan.

This was such a wholesome video yaani. Literally fist-bumped my laptop at the end lol

Man you seem like a very good person! And i like watching your videos! Your like a movie actor in some way when you talk. Merry Christmas from Rune 44 from Sweden

Safe travel Tommy. I enjoyed your travel vlogs.

The Anthem made me feel something so so sweet!

It was nice that you were here. Also remember you got to 100k subscribers in kenya it should be in your note book.

This really is the most emotional video ive seen so far on youtube.im really glad you not only enjoyed yourself but are also marketing our country online to the world.we watch western media potrayal of kenya are usually very apalled.thanks for correcting that image for us.hope to see you back.kwaheri ya kuonana
