Our First Ever Safari in Nakuru Kenya Surprised Us
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 มิ.ย. 2024
- Nakuru County is definitely not the most popular destination in terms of safaris. But after experiencing our first proper safari there, we can now say that Nakuru is hidden gem.
We stayed at Mbweha Camp inside the Soysambu private conservancy. This small camp offers cottage style accommodation, has a pool, delicious food and a long list of activities that you do during your stay from horseback safaris to hiking the sleeping warrior mountain and water safaris.
To book your stay at the Mbweha Camp or any other safaris in Kenya, make sure to contact our friends at Ongeri Expeditions. Let them know, we sent you and they will go above and beyond to make your adventure possible. www.ongeriexpeditions.com/
It is no secret that we prefer private conservancies over national park making this safari weekend even better. Conservancies normally have less people, creating a more exclusive experience and they have a different set of rules letting people do night game drives which we also did.

We just had the best experience EVER with the gorillas this morning. Now let me edit all of that footage into a video. :)
I really enjoy watching your videos
I'm so glad! 😍
What a amazing life you have going round the world love watching youx😂
It's not as perfect as it seems haha. Don't forget that just like most people, I still have a Monday to Friday job in an office in town.
I was born in Nakuru. In the 1960s, Lake Nakuru was pristine and we used to walk all the way from the Town center to the Lake. We encountered Hippos, Coccs
Wow that is quite a childhood! 😍👍🏼

Hey @DaveMani!
My partner and I (we’re also from Canada) absolutely LOVE your videos! We’re so inspired by the courage of your journey ❤
We had a question about your travels: how do you manage vaccines? We’re actually visiting the Masai Mara for the first time this coming August, so we had to get Yellow Fever and Malaria pills, both of which are quite expensive here in Canada. We’d love to hear about how you manage all the costs when staying for an extended time in Kenya, which is something we’re considering doing in the near future 🙂
Great question. The yellow fever is the only mandatory one for most African countries and we got it once 4 years ago. For the malaria pills listen, I am not a doctor so don't go by what I say but we have never taken a pill in 4 years of living and traveling in Africa full time. Malaria sounds scary from a Canadian point of view bit on this side of the world it just like getting a cold. Most people get it once of twice and their lives and hospital are very aware on own to treat it. Plus, to be honest, I am more scared of the Malaria pill than Malaria itself. That pill is a really strong medication.
Thank you, really appreciate your reply 🙏 we’ll definitely look more into the malaria pills then.
You’re a big inspiration. We totally encourage you to continue making awesome videos and living your best life!
Signed, a fellow Canadian seeking adventure 🦁
Beautiful
Thank you.
It's good to see you in Nakuru County. Perhaps you can visit Nakuru City itself. There are good hotels in town like "The Alps" in the town's Milimani area as well as Sarova Woodlands (which is well decorated during Christmas season along with West Side Mall in the city's CBD area). The Sarova Lodge in Lake Nakuru National Park is also a cool place.
Hey, thank you for the suggestion I will for sure look that hotel up! :)
Wow whoever came up with the idea of writing 'good night' to that dessert plate deserves a huge tip. That's so sweet 😋
So sweet right! :)
Nice
Thanks
In the Building watching from Baltimore MD 😎😎😎
Heeeey! Welcome back mate :)
@@DaveMani😎
Hi Dave and Tracy great filming. I am thinking of coming next year to Kenya and will take your advice an look at Ongeri expaditions . But just wondering is there another country we could fly to from England to make it a bit of a cheaper flight but also maybe have a stop off on way to Kenya. If not where is best to fly into. Thanks Mandy
That is so good to hear! Sadly flights to Kenya are expensive... Might be cheaper to flight to Addis in Ethiopia than Kenya but I am not sure.
Tracy........Naikuru it is😀
Yup hahaha
Sir you are a rockstar ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks mate.
@@DaveMani sir you are a rockstar ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ sir please do a little help

We've actually been once before :)

My current county
Beautiful :)
no predetors in soysambu .i just stay close here gilgil
There are actually leopards.
@@DaveMani what and the way I was walking around there without acknowledge that there are there
16:15 do we have pygmy kangaroos in Kenya? What animal was that? It's so cute, reminds me of Pokemon. Nakuru is def underrated, I think a lot of us don't usually go there coz the traffic going there is usually a headache. Love the vlog ❤❤
I believe they are Hyraxes. Common in Nakuru and Gilgil areas
This was an East African Spring Hare.
What was the temperature when you guys were in the pool?
The outside temperature? Like 28 maybe...
@davemani you should consider becoming kenyans citizens... ❤... we just want to make sure you will come back... travel the world but come back to kenya eventually
I really appreciate that! ❤️🇰🇪
Hi, is this video from your recent trip in 2024 after the floods, or is it from an earlier trip that you uploaded recently?
This was a week before the floods.
So,how do you access Mbweha camp coming in from the Nairobi direction?Anyone knows?
We just drove there, super easy you can literally put it in Google Map.
Dave.... Did you just let Tracy carry two glasses of wine?? My wife would have killed me 😂😂😂😂
I had the cameras loll
@@DaveMani A very worthy come back. 🙌
😂😂😂
Is cameras allowed in the Airport,l am planning to do Safari and l could like to take my cameras with me
Yes of course.
If you're in Nakuru come to Kiamunyi mercy Njeri
We are in Uganda right now :)
Kuna nini Kiamunyi ya kuonwa?
What's that marsupial/kangaroo-like creature at 16:14? I didn't know those exist in Africa, let alone Kenya! Somebody please tell us what that is 😮
That was an East African springhare.
Go to lake Bogoria (61km away) for them flamingos experience.
Next time maybe :)
When you were at the Elephant Bedroom Camp, were you charged for the bush breakfast? Did you have sundowners and mid morning breaks every day? We thought a bush breakfast would be included so we told our driver we wanted one. For 50.00 a person, we got to stop, sit in the jeep, and had a box with a sandwich, an apple, a juice box and some coffee. We only got one sundowner, standing next to the jeep with a bag of chips on the fender and a plastic glass of wine. We want to know if this was typical? Thank you guys, love your content.
Many camp do charge for a proper bush breakfast and by that I mean a full setup with chairs and table and even live cooking most time. But being charge for a packed breakfast in the truck, I`ve personally never heard of that...
@@DaveMani We were very disappointed in the Elephant Bedroom Camp. They were more interested in upcharging than in giving a good experience. 50 a person for a box breakfast, 35 a person for going to the villages of the native people. We told our driver that we did not want to do this. When he picked us up from the airfield, he drove us to the camp on a route with no villages. On the way to the airstrip he drove us right through all of them. This felt like sabotage to us. Trying to make us feel guilty. Anyway, thanks for answering. I thought that "bush breakfast" was not the norm. It was a rip off.
