This one takes the cake,! Without a doubt Kenya worst Tv advert! Was it shot using a mobile phone? Who shot this? Here are the mistakes they made:

• It portrays our women as objects
• You can't tell who's having more fun btwn the lazy bums and the touring guy
• There's nothing magical and it's for magical Kenya
• Looks like a bad beer ad
• Poorly shot, our music videos look better. I hope this was free.
• Not a representative ad of Kenyans. Where are the kids? Where are the middle age yet that's where disposable money is?

BBI will solve it

Gotta agree.Feels like those beer adds or something.Should have something for everyone.The old,family & kids,the young couples etc....and should feel magical.Si pombe kila mahali!
Formally employed people often live their employers' dream & forget about their own.

I guess they did this after Uhunye announced the domestic tourism measures. I like it its for Kenyans but they forgot the kids and family setting pia wazee who have retired.

I think it should have shown the magical side of Kenya. The kind of target shown on the ad is very knowledgeable and they actually choose not to tour but you'll see them touring where there's booze eg Rhino Charge, Bob's in Coast, Nakuru rugby etc. They won't do national parks and the likes. In fact they will buy canned beer and hot drinks from Nairobi and survive on that.

They now have your attention.They've lowered expectations(defenses) and that very target group will willingly give out what they perceive to be magical.IMO,a great opening act.

Getting 'high',,,,,,
Check out the 'chicks',,,,,
See some 'beaches',,,,,,

'Advertising' as thought up by the Advertising Executives as they see the world from their 'vantage' point of view!

Add, of course, the overt beer ,,,,, one of the many reasons I dumped television! My mind is precious to me. My preciousssssssss!

I agree but that advertisement doesn't seem 'normal'.

They should have taken those magical " Niko na safaricom" adverts and just replaced with " Tembea Kenya"!

Yes Symbols, Laughing out loudly

They are trying to trick the male brain to associate visiting the countryside with pleasure, and not just any pleasure but sexual pleasure. I saw right through it.
