Honestly, African villages have a pleasing aesthetic. They just need a tiny bit of modernizing and some green scenery. Fixing up housing and planting (where it needs planting) is a lot cheaper than building fancy cities. But maybe that's easier said than done.

>green scenery.
don't fall for this american bs
always plant shit (nor just leave it baren) if it is conducive to the native environment
introducing foreign plants just because it's boring is fucking the environment in more ways than one
water table, ecology, plant diversity, etc are all affected by the simple ideology that you have to look at green shit where you live, no, suburbs are unnatural, don't treat it like it's your little paradise when the land struggles to cope with it
Where is this? Looks comfy as fuck.
Nevermind. Missed the bottom part. Kenya looks comfy hope they become not shithole tier.
It's called Shaba Reserve, my sister went and I might go soon too. According to her it is comfy as fuck. If Africa wants tourism more authentic shit like this is needed. Not sky crapper cities.
True. I admit I have the image of africa as a dry dusty and smelly place. But that looks like a secret top tier holiday destination.
>literal tourist trap that isn't at all representative
>"If Africa wants tourism more authentic shit like this is needed. "
jfc
i guess we too need more authentic shit like disneyland and not actual cities, yes ?
if africa wants tourism they need to stop raping and killing whites and invading their countries
Pretty comfy
>That shit
>Authentic
I fucking hate Americans so much I cannot put it to words, you're so fucking stupid man
What's not authentic about it?
>inb4 chimpout
Its literally a cottage with some superficial "african looking" shit
Cottages are small rural houses for vacations that originate from Europe in case you don't know what it is in your country.
not him but most of subsaharan africa is utter shit and it's indecent to pretend otherwise
it's like going to a polish tourist resort in 1942 and saying "you see this place is great, now that's definitely the real poland"
it's a fucking ocean of human misery, favelas everywhere, disease, poverty, people are fucking awful and retarded, incredibly backwards, crime of course, if you want "authentic africa" go to the shitholes (most of it)
and look if you want to roleplay tintin in congo and have luxurious holidays in colonial resorts i completely understand, but at least have the decency to say it clearly
My comment was put very perfunctorily. Kenya has plenty of white tourism as is. Not very known of killing whites either.
I gave the source of the place and you still couldn't do your research, silly Jow Forumstard.
You're too dumb (american) to even know why you're being criticized
Let me explain it to you like you were 5 : fancy cottages for white zafari tourists is not "an authentic african experience" an authentic experience involves interacting,mingling and doing the same stuff as locals
You've sound like you've been to Africa, I assume every single country since you use "Africa" so broadly. So what was your experience? No one is saying Kenya or Africa in general is first world. But you do indeed have a alt right fox news view of it.
Depends on the country (and various tribes/ethnicities within them who have different customs). I've seen videos that describe what you're telling me and I wouldn't say the experience is any more African (again with such a broad term for people more diverse than Europe when it comes to customs, religion, etc) than visiting Lagos or Nairobi. Who are to say what's "African" and what's not?
>All that meaningless autistic bable explaining how his African equivalent of disneyworld is the real deal and that the real deal is a social construct anyway
This is why everyone hates white people, fucking Americans, we should had allied Hitler.
Not at all, the problem is that you woke up this morning your usual pissy Jow Forumstard self, then proceeded to enter a thread only to misinterpret every single thing including the purpose of the thread. I didn't say this place was Kenya's Disney world or the authentic Kenyan experience. I said the place looks like an old authentic African village with a bit of modern spice, which I stand by. I can understand why you spazzed out over such a simple statement however, you're a Jow Forumstard and the only thing that comes to your mind seeing the word "Africa" a bunch of racist Jow Forums drivel.
>I gave the source of the place and you still couldn't do your research,
What ? It's the first fucking thing I did.
Besides having "Reserve" in the name which already tells you what you should know, it's a fucking protected area where Westerners make movies like Out of Africa or TV shows like Survivor.
It's exactly like all those fake "typical" villages only for tourists that exist all over the world, including here, to the point that
> there is a risk that numbers of visitors may rise to unsustainable levels.[3]
Come on now, please
>silly Jow Forumstard.
It's funny that political correctness nowadays wants people to just ignore all the misery on the continent, after decades of unabashed miserabilism and trying to make people cry with pictures of starving African child soldiers and so on. There's been a complete turnaround and now it's even more immoral actually, instead of emotional manipulation it's turned into straight-up lying.
Yeah no i'm pretty sure i did say "most of" and i precised "subsaharan", of course there are ok areas, there are ok areas everywhere that's off topic. By and large most parts of most towns and cities and villages in subsaharan Africa are shitholes and statistics exist so that not everyone has to visit every fucking nook and cranny to be like "yep i can confirm this one village is just as shit as the last one".
>hurr you aren't allowed to make country or region averages, we have to make a million subdivisions so i can prove my point
africa is the only place on earth which undergoes this treatment
>i said "authentic" but i didn't mean "authentic" i just meant it's pretty and it's like in my movies, because that's what authenticity means, ps : if you disagree you're a nazi
piss off
No hate towards Africans but I really like the colonial aesthetic of a big European mansion in a jungle
My homie is Belgian and his family had one in the Congo and it looked amazing with the weathered look and all the greenery in the pic
>muh tourism
>Africa only exists for western benefit
kys yourself
Based post.
This is the most retarded post I've seen on Jow Forums in at least a week or two.
The houses are made this way to promote heat loss and natural cooling in the hot climate
so authentic, i'm sure this is the place the average kenyan goes to for holidays and not at all a safari tourist trap for westerners and the chinese
What is it about them that does this? Also you must do something similar in Vietnam, I assume?
t. tyrone kwame “white boi destroyer” johnson
I have a big house in the forest
In the pseudo-French maison style too
Sometimes but houses aren't made of mud and poo
Often people make European style homes like French colonial style with big verandas and lots of shade/airflow
>What ? It's the first fucking thing I did.
>Besides having "Reserve" in the name which already tells you what you should know, it's a fucking protected area where Westerners make movies like Out of Africa or TV shows like Survivor
This entire thread I've referenced only how the place (which I described as a comfy old looking African village with a modern spin) and how a family member described it. Not the shit you cooked up in your head. That's all autism and misinterpretation on your part.
>It's exactly like all those fake "typical" villages only for tourists that exist all over the world, including here, to the point that

Things you brought up. You're essentially arguing with yourself.
>It's funny that political correctness nowadays wants people to just ignore all the misery on the continent, after decades of unabashed miserabilism and trying to make people cry with pictures of starving African child soldiers and so on.

Things only you brought up and only you are arguing about.
>hurr you aren't allowed to make country or region averages, we have to make a million subdivisions so i can prove my point
Your point is that Africa isn't first world. You did a great job proving it, I honestly didn't know beforehand.
>africa is the only place on earth which undergoes this treatment
Actually every continent with different countries and ethnicities do. No one likes to be generalised.
>i said "authentic" but i didn't mean "authentic" i just meant it's pretty and it's like in my movies, because that's what authenticity means, ps : if you disagree you're a nazi
Once again, I was referring solely on how the place looked.
>piss off
That's it?
>a hotel is authentic African village life
Weeeeee
The French colonial architecture in Vietnam is god tier. I'd love to live in one of those up in the mountains in Da Lat.
Did you actually read that post or did you respond to it negatively because you saw another guy do it? How old are you?
I said the place looked authentic due to the typical African village look, only modern. I said nothing about the experience being authentic, it is a reserve. Let me say it again so you understand, I only referenced how the place looks. Read the OP. My use of "authentic" only referenced the appearance. Maybe if you were a native English speaker this wouldn't be a problem for you.
You had multiple people telling you that you were a retard because you're a retard, retard.
Things only you said.
See Learn English.
You copied a French guy that doesn't understand English. And you thought you had something going.
Man you sound like a bitch, bitch
This is between me and the retard, faggot.
>This entire thread I've referenced only how the place (which I described as a comfy old looking African village with a modern spin) and how a family member described it. Not the shit you cooked up in your head. That's all autism and misinterpretation on your part.
You described it as "authentic" and authentic means authentic, you're the one making up shit in your head and trying to twist the meaning of your words. Authentic is a word that exists in French and as far as i can tell dictionaries are telling me it has the exact same meaning
Here, Oxford dictionary :
>"Of undisputed origin and not a copy; genuine."
>"Made or done in the traditional or original way, or in a way that faithfully resembles an original."
The village is a copy, it is done with way better means of construction, complete with fucking running water, electricity, swimming pool and probably optic fiber wi-fi
>Things you brought up. You're essentially arguing with yourself.
>Things only you brought up and only you are arguing about.
Oh yeah you can't bring up points in an argument, great
>Actually every continent with different countries and ethnicities do. No one likes to be generalised.
It's not about what people like, all the peer-reviewed geographical or economical studies published in academia refer to wide areas like "western europe" "southeast asia" "eastern europe" and so on.
You can probably find impoverished commieblock towns in east Germany which are shitholes and everybody is on the dole with 600euro a month, so now i guess when talking about Germany we are forbidden to say it's a good place to live generally ? It's just nonsense
>Once again, I was referring solely on how the place looked.
Then you should have said so by the next post instead of forcing me to get into a fucking endless argument for no reason
Man up and handle your shit
>"Made or done in the traditional or original way, or in a way that faithfully resembles an original."
>that faithfully resembles an original."
Point proven. The place looks like an old African village only with a modern spin. You finally understand.
>The village is a copy, it is done with way better means of construction, complete with fucking running water, electricity, swimming pool and probably optic fiber wi-fi
>hurr its a copy because it has things
>Then you should have said so by the next post instead of forcing me to get into a fucking endless argument for no reason
You would've known if you read the OP. But you didn't.
>Point proven. The place looks like an old African village only with a modern spin. You finally understand.
That's anything but fucking authentic, it's exactly like saying the cowboy zone in eurodisney is authentic USA because "it's just like the far west but with a modern spin", and i guess the dressed up algerian serving drinks is probably an authentic cowboy too, just with a modern spin
>hurr its a copy because it has things
It's a copy because it's technically a copy, it's not even a place where people lived and was modernized. It was built recently for tourism and this is what it looks like inside.
Tell me this is authentically African i fucking dare you, at best it is authentically colonial
> You would've known if you read the OP. But you didn't.
But user your OP is criticizable too
You say "African villages have a pleasing aesthetic" that is generalizing even harder than me
