Nairobi Bachelor S1
Made in Kenya
Nairobi Bachelor follows the journey of young bachelors and singletons on a quest to find their perfect match. Stream from 6 December, with new episodes every week.
Hosted by the dynamic celebrity couple Daddie Marto (Sue na Jonnie) and Koku Lwanga, Nairobi Bachelor is a Showmax Original reality dating show that promises to bring love, drama and unexpected twists.
Nairobi Bachelor follows the journey of young bachelors and singletons as they embark on a quest to find their perfect match. Each bachelor enters the show believing they are the sole participant, competing against five queens for their affection.
The show also features a unique Baggage segment, where successful couples face two rounds of baggage claims. In this segment, three sets of revelations are presented, with only one being the true baggage for both the queens and bachelors. Couples who can navigate and accept their partner’s baggage will earn the opportunity to go on a date.
Nairobi Bachelor is produced by Clementina Kabutha through Real Strike Studios, the team behind the award-winning short film Kanairo.
