When iShowSpeed landed in Nairobi on January 11, 2026, he didn’t just visit a city; he ignited a movement. In just six hours, he gained over 360,000 new subscribers, officially crossing the 48 million mark while flying in a helicopter over the Nairobi skyline.
At Stejos Tours & Travel, we’ve analyzed every minute of that historic stream. For non-residents and celebrities, here is the deeper story of what happened—and how you can experience it with the comfort and exclusivity of Kenya’s premier travel partner.
1. The "Rhinaldo" Legacy at Nairobi National Park
Speed didn't just see wildlife; he made a lasting impact. At the Nairobi Animal Orphanage, he participated in a naming ceremony for a baby rhinoceros.
- Speed reportedly contributed $10,000 for the honor of naming the rhino "Rhinaldo"—a tribute to his idol, Cristiano Ronaldo.
-
The Stejos Offer: We don't just take you on a game drive. We coordinate great experiences where you can participate in conservation efforts, meet the rangers, and—like Speed—leave a lasting mark on Kenya’s wildlife heritage.
2. High-Octane CBD: The Safari Rally Experience
One of the most intense moments of the stream was Speed racing through the Nairobi CBD in a genuine Safari Rally car driven by Ishmael Azeli.
-
The Safari Rally is a point of national pride in Kenya. Speed experienced the raw power of these machines in the same streets that host the world-famous WRC Safari Rally.
-
The Stejos Offer: Love the thrill? As the World Rally Championship (WRC) returns to Kenya from March 12th to 15th, 2026, Stejos Tours & Travel is ready to put you in the heart of the action. This year, the rally is more intense than ever, moving exclusively to the unforgiving terrains of the Great Rift Valley.
3. The "Gen Z Goliath" Encounter
Fans went wild when Speed met Bradley Marongo, famously known as the "Gen Z Goliath." Standing at 8’2", Bradley provided the ultimate viral photo-op for Speed.
- Bradley is a symbol of Kenya’s modern "Creator Economy." Their meeting at the KICC was a collision of global and local internet culture.
-
The Stejos Offer: We specialize in Cultural & Creative Networking. If you are a creator or celebrity looking to collaborate with local Kenyan icons, we handle the introductions and logistics to make it happen seamlessly.
4. Upper Hill School: Sports Diplomacy
Speed’s stop at Upper Hill High School was more than a stunt. He met Julius Yego, the "YouTube Man" and Olympic Javelin champion, and even tried his hand at rugby.
-
This visit showcased Kenya’s dominance in global athletics. Speed’s interaction with the students highlighted the "youth-centered" focus of his 28-day Africa tour.
-
The Stejos Offer: We offer Athletic Heritage Tours. Visit the training grounds in Iten or meet legends like Yego and Eliud Kipchoge for a private "Masterclass" in persistence and excellence.
5. Kenyatta Market: The 20,000 KES Shirt
In a moment of incredible generosity, Speed paid 20,000 KES for a Kenyan-themed shirt that was priced at 3,000 KES, choosing to support the local vendor rather than negotiate.
- This happened right after he tried his hand at making ugali and chapati in a local stall, showing a side of "authentic Nairobi" that few international stars ever see.
-
The Stejos Offer: Our "Gourmet & Artisan" Market Tour gives you a safe, VIP passage through Nairobi’s most vibrant markets. You’ll get to sample nyama choma and shop for authentic crafts with a professional guide who ensures you get the best quality and service.
