Announcing his visit on a social platform, Kiyosaki hilariously disclosed that his absence from Kenya was due to its prohibition of hunting since the 1960s, which conflicts with his avid interest in hunting.

Expressing his thoughts from Nairobi, Kiyosaki shared:

"I am in Nairobi, Kenya. I have never been here before, although I have been coming to Africa about once a year for about 20 years. The reason I never came to Kenya is because they outlawed hunting in the 1960s, and I am a hunter."

Robert Kiyosaki praises Kenyan leadership

Kiyosaki went on to commend the Kenyan leadership for their foresight in implementing the hunting ban, acknowledging that it has been instrumental in preserving wildlife.

"I am glad I am in Kenya today because I now understand how smart their leaders were, banning people like me….a hunter. Kenya is perfect for animal lovers like my wife Kim, who protects and loves all animals. The world is big enough to grant people with opposing points of view their own point of view. I commend Kenya for taking a stand for Africa and protecting the animals," he added.
