His remarks sparked conversations online, with many Kenyans agreeing that Rwanda has made significant strides in adopting technology and improving service delivery.

A city that leaves visitors impressed

Beyond technology, the influencer praised Kigali's cleanliness, orderly traffic, and peaceful atmosphere. He remarked ''There are heavy fines in place here with many cameras, so if you're caught doing something illegal, you will be nicked with a fine sent to your phone, so it's a very different system here.''
He described Rwanda as an ideal destination for anyone seeking a relaxing holiday and encouraged his followers to consider visiting the country on their next getaway.
His travel clips showcased organized road users, picturesque roads, green  clean spaces, and attractions that have increasingly made Rwanda one of Africa's fastest-growing tourism destinations.

Social media reacts

Ndungu's observations quickly generated discussion among East Africans, with many users applauding Rwanda's development while others expressed hope that Kenya could adopt similar approaches in areas such as urban planning, digital services and environmental conservation.
Others viewed the trip as an opportunity to appreciate the progress different African countries are making rather than comparing them competitively.

Promoting African travel

The creator's trip also aligns with the growing trend of African content creators encouraging intra-African tourism by showcasing destinations within the continent.
By documenting his experiences, Ndungu offered his audience a firsthand look at Rwanda's attractions while emphasizing that Africa has numerous destinations worth exploring without necessarily travelling outside the continent.
