Composed by Gabriel Omondi Directed by Adrian Moat, RSA Films Photography by Frazzat Taggart So I saw Safaricom's new brand - and I have to say - don't hate the player, hate the game! I see the Safaricom choir, 800 strong, climbing Mt. Elgon, on a trek on Mt. Longonot, alongside Tana River/Magadi, and even mountain climbing Mt. Kenya.... just to sing?Okay so I'm a sucker for movies, directing, score, choreography. And I've never seen a Kenyan piece so profound... Na furahia, undugu na ukoo wetu
Na sherekehea, kazi na biddii yetu
Tuvute pamoja, tushirikiane
Bega kwa bega tujikaze, tusaidiane
Niko na uwezo, wakujiendeleza
Niko na nayo nguvu, nijatahidi
Niko na fanaka, nitajitolea
Niko na baraka, kwa kazi nayo fanya
Niko na fahari,
Niko na furaha,
Niko na uwezo,
Niko na Safaricomhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIBHuqeis3USeriously though, is Kenya this beautiful?

Was about to ask the same question, is all breathtaking scenery found within the Kenyan boundaries? Got goose pimples just watching the ad...

Saw the advert yesterday in Citizen TV.
It resembles those ones i see in CNN.
And the btw between Aljazeera and CNN which one offers quality programming and is better?
Me thinks Aljazeera beats CNN hands down

I suppose it makes up for the endless hours of aggravation trying to get quality services. I do not think I am a philistine, but that ad did NADA for me.
I suppose even PEV suspects could pay for such an ad and make people forget...
Bollocks I say...

...and for what its worth, I think some media personalities (I have noted this on Classic FM this morning, and a KBC personality on Facebook) are being used (maybe after a SCOM press junket?)to build up the hype around this advert (i.e. if they say its good, it must be REALLY good).

Much better than making fun of a midget and expecting us to laugh at the midget and his accent. "thli mbof one mbof, Atsiiiii", "ati thlee mboff one mboff, heh, heh ,heh" then a cow almost falls on the midget. Creativity does not end with product innovation. Meru Holiness

This is in part promotion of local tourism...I'm impressed!!
@GG...finally understand your name after watching "Wall Street"..about scangroup shares, was informed it is a sell sell, something about "overheating"...language ya ma-investment bankers i guess

"thli mbof one mbof, Atsiiiii", "ati thlee mboff one mboff, heh, heh ,heh" then a cow almost falls on the midget. Creativity does not end with product innovation. @MuchKnow - I concur - in as much as the scom did as much for me as a donkey's backside, the Zain ads are ANNOYING...really annoying. And the litter and pollution the posters have contributed is even more annoying...

This advert would make more cash if used as an instrument of tourism promotion; though some of the pics look so clear one may doubt they are computer generated. That shot must have been taken from a 1000 megapixel camera, lol. Portfolio: Sold
You know you've made it when you get a parking space for your yatcht.

Where in Kenya do you find those sand dunes? Wajaameni, wanatunyoa bila maji?  Brilliant video though!
BBI will solve it :)

Bollocks I say... Wewe Djinn tulishakuzoea.. We know you work for Zain.. Hata kama the advert came with cash handouts through the TV screen, your reaction would have been the same..
