Kenyan socialite and content creator Amber Ray found herself taking public transport after her Range Rover reportedly failed to start, in a day-in-the-life video that caught her followers' attention.
Amber shared the vlog on Instagram, documenting a busy day that took an unexpected turn when her white Range Rover refused to start after work.
She attempted to arrange alternative transport, but her phone battery reportedly died before she could complete the arrangements.
With few options left, Amber headed to the roadside and appeared to flag down a passing matatu.

The vehicle that stopped was no ordinary nganya.
It was Baba Yaga, the customised matatu associated with President William Ruto’s son, George Ruto.

In the video, Amber is seen boarding the matatu while carrying her MacBook, a moment that quickly became one of the most discussed parts of the vlog.
Some viewers questioned whether the scene had been arranged for the video, while others simply found the sight of the socialite taking a nganya amusing.
Others praised her for embracing Nairobi’s matatu culture.
The video then follows Amber as she eventually makes her way home, where she prepares dinner and spends time with her family.
Amber Ray calls it a “small win”
Rather than focusing on the day's inconveniences, Amber described getting home in time for dinner with her family as an achievement in itself.
“Despite having a crazy day, I still managed to get home on time and make dinner for my family, and that is my small win,” she wrote.
She later expanded on the message, describing the day as a combination of work, transport problems, and a tiring journey home.
“Life isn’t always about the big achievements. Sometimes, the win is simply making it home, being present, and sharing a meal with the people who matter most.”
What is Baba Yaga?
Baba Yaga is one of the customised matatus associated with George Ruto’s Raptor Family fleet and operates on the Ongata Rongai route.
The vehicle is inspired by the fictional character from the John Wick film franchise and features customised interiors, screens and a powerful sound system.

George’s transport operation expanded further with the launch of the 98 Matatu Sacco in June 2026, with Baba Yaga among the vehicles linked to the wider fleet.
