Tom Daktari Flaunts KSh 2.4m Nissan X Trail He Bought: "Onyesha Sunroof"

• A few Kenyans knew Tom Daktari until his sound bites started trending on TikTok
• Tom, who previously featured on The Real Househelps of Kwangware became an online sensation
• His counterpart, Sammie Kioko posted a video of a new SUV Tom recently acquired

Celebrated content creator Tom Daktari has purchased a new vehicle months after going viral.

Was Tom Daktari on TRHK?

Tom had humble beginnings, and a video by DJ Shiti on Friday, October 27, showed Tom acting on the defunct The Real Househelps of Kawangware show.

Tom was seen acting as a beggar and looked unrecognisable without his signature beard.

He sat by the roadside with a bandage on one foot while soliciting money from passers-by.

“I need KSh 2 million for treatment," Tom said as passers-by approached, and Shiti urged them to assist him.

One guy gave KSh 15, but Shiti urged him to give more. Shiti then removed a KSh 1,000 note from his pocket and placed it on a plate beside Tom. The man was convinced as he gave KSh 100.

However, it later emerged that it was a ploy between the two to make money from unsuspecting well-wishers.

Kenyans were stunned by Tom's humble beginnings and reacted by saying:

Which car does Tom Daktari drive?

In 2023, Tom’s star shone as his sound bites went viral on TikTok. The entertainer charges corporates good money for the sounds, and the earnings enabled him to purchase a compact SUV.

A Tuesday, December 5 video depicted Tom next to a 2016 Nissan X Trail worth around KSh 2.4 million.

Comedian Sammy Kioko filmed him, and Tom said:

"If you have decided to record, show them the sunroof. Prayers go straight to God.”

He further urged people not to be afraid of showing their blessings.

Kenyans reacted to the clip by saying:
