Speed on his Kenya tour
This comes after the globe streamer reflected on the overwhelming support he received in Kenya as he continued his African tour from the vast expanses of the Sahara Desert.
The high-energy content creator began his Sahara Desert livestream on Friday, January 16, 2026, following a brief but highly celebrated visit to Egypt, where he streamed from the iconic pyramids in Giza.
While he did not confirm whether he was in Algeria or Morocco, both of which were listed in his planned itinerary, the desert backdrop provided viewers with a dramatic change of scenery.
During the livestream, Speed spoke fondly of his time in Kenya.
He said that Kenya had been one of the best streams and described the reception from fans as amazing.
“I see someone on the chat asking how Kenya was. Kenya was one of the best streams. Kenya was actually very amazing,” he said.
The desert stream featured a range of activities, keeping viewers engaged throughout.
At one point, Speed attempted to race a camel, an endeavour that almost bested him.
The challenge forced him to come up with a series of humorous excuses for his narrow defeat, adding the familiar high-energy entertainment fans have come to expect.
The Sahara also presented unforeseen physical challenges, as a thorn eventually tore into his leg, temporarily slowing his pace.
Despite the setback, he managed to remove the thorn and continued the livestream, demonstrating resilience in the face of harsh conditions.
Prior to Kenya, Speed had toured Rwanda, continuing a fast-paced journey that has seen him criss-cross the continent while documenting culture, landmarks and spontaneous street moments for his millions of followers worldwide.
