AWARD WINNING Beach Resort On The Kenyan Coast / Saving A Sea Turtle
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 พ.ค. 2024
- Kenya has some of the best beach resorts in the world if you ask me. This week we are visiting Medina Palms in Watamu, Kenya for a little weekend getaway. (Getaway from Nairobi!!! 😅)
Thank you to our friends at Skyward Express for the smooth flight and for always being on time.
www.skywardexpress.co.ke/en
Medina Palms is ideal for families and groups as they offer fully furnished apartment style accommodations which includes a full kitchen. The full board option is also available which we recommend since the food was very good. (Especially the seafood of course)
A lot of activities are also available at the beach resort like kayaking, bodyboards, and more which are actually included with your stay.
You can also visit the marine park which is always fun or you can do what we did and go visit the Local Ocean Conservation who are there to save the sea turtles!
If you want to donate to this great organization, here are their Mpesa. (They operate on donations)

Here is some more beach vlogs! 🏖😍 th-cam.com/video/rMWjISnJY4s/w-d-xo.html
There are two rresorts won the best last year from maasai mara ,Angama and Richmond they are amazing..
Okay this is the TH-camr in me talking but I realized a very huge difference when you switched to the go pro. Like the main camera has better video quality, is this an informed observation? Coz I am currently shopping around for a vlogging camera and gopro is also on the list of considerations
CONGRAGULATIONS DAVE MANI THEN COME TO TSAVO EAST NATIONAL PARK
people don't note it (i am assuming that) but Dave's Camera work is amazing, the continuation of shots...great!
Hey I really appreciate that Gakuo :) 👍🏼
It’s the new camera too. Great photography.
@@xoxomacx2539 not necessarily the camera but the skill of the videographer
The Mani's continues to do this country justice, we can't thank you enough! Another epic video!
Much appreciated Alex :)
more worshipping white people by Kenyans..not surprised
Dave Mani deserve to be in Kenyan government payroll. They have done marvelous showing the world about Kenya. Kudos and God bless.
Wow thanks for that! ❤️❤️❤️
You're more patriotic than we the Kenyans. Thanks so much for selling Kenya.
We need to show this to the world! :)
Great spot!!
It was pretty fun! :)
Ever since the Manis started moving around in diverse locations in Kenya, it appears the country has a lot to offer in Tourism & Hospitality departments. Now I don't know which facility to spend my vacation in... COS I am spoilt with choice.
Haha thats awesome :p
They are the game changer that cannot be compered with most of kenyan youtubers who instead of promoting our tourists sectors,are busy with not good content.the only thing they do is to follow gossip.i love this channel& learn more about kenya
You know guys,you're my favorite couple. I can't thank you enough.
Thank you so so much Isaack! :)
Sun screen and lotion,and yoga mat, picknic mat.thanks for reminding me about bubbly and cocktails. I love fruits,lemonade and minced meat.
Sounds great!
I have been following you for a couple of years now. Currently for the 1st time in Kenya. And after Nairobi and Amboseli, we're now at Medina Palms. Our third day today. Had been wondering what to do... Re-watched your video and noticed that kayaking was included ❤👍🏾💯
Yeah it is! Hope you enjoy it man! 🇰🇪
Thanks for showing the world what Kenya, has.
Our pleasure! :)
You guys are living the life I want to live... you work hard but you also enjoy beautiful places. I never regret clicking on your videos
You are literally a motivation!🧡
Thank you so much! But trust me we are still dreaming of this life. We are lucky to do this every weekend but our life during the week is far from dreamy haha. I still work a full time job in a windowless office and spend all my evenings editing videos.
I always love how you shoot perfect videos, since you joined us in Kenya. Continue selling Kenya to the World.
Thank you very much Peter! Thats the goal. 😎
Such a beautiful spot. It reminds me of 2018 went to a seminar in watamu and stayed in hotel next to medina palms. So one of my friends suggested we go and check it out. The manager was so cool she took us all around the premises and even allowed us to go in and check the apartments.
Thats awesome! This is what customer service should look like everywhere!!
Beautiful couple, happy you lot showing the continent from a different light.
Thank you very much my friend :)
Lovely! Watamu is a beautiful destination.
Watamu is our favorite on the coast! ❤️🇰🇪
Dave and Tracy never cease to amaze
May God continue to bless Kenya and Canada

Thanks for saying that! :)
You are the best, your energy is contagious. Great communication and advertising skills.👍
I very much appreciate that. ❤️
Beautiful place❤ keeping a list of all the beautiful places you have introduced us. Hope to visit someday soon
We truly hope you do as well. ❤️🇰🇪
A 19-minute video on Wednesday?!! What a treat! 😃😃
Haha don't get use to it!!! I worked 2 nights straight on it and Tracey misses me! 🤣
I also wondered out loud! For a minute I thought it was the Saturday video 😂😂😂. This was a nice treat for a midweek video! 👍🏾
Dave and Mani best travel channel.. amazing to watch and appreciating the nature

I have to say, we do not miss winter right now! 😅❄️
@@DaveMani I envy you guys.. keep the beautiful content coming. Thank you guys.
Great vlog.👍 Nice intro. 👍 Music 🎶👍 Beach & Apartment Tour👍 Nice decor like the sea horses. Nice Pools design. The dhow seating area is great. The seafood looked delicious. LOC is certainly a great incentive to save sea turtles. 👍Still confused about that light. What was it? 😕 Resort Tour 👍 MP resort has nice decor overall. I agree regarding tuk-tuks. Singing. 👍 Liked the vlog preview. 👍Nice to see the Where Next Family once again. 👍Thanks. Have a good afternoon. Stay safe.
I always LOVE reading your comments! 👍🏼😬
You guys are lucky, it is my country but I haven't had as much experiences
We hope you can travel more in the future. ❤️
I love your videos guys 😊😊 you cover everything 💪💪

OMG can't believe you guys in Madina palm, this is by far one of the best resorts I've stayed. Hubby and I had the pleasure to be therese last October and it was a blast! So so wanna go again💞
We really loved it too! The pool is just amazing!! 10/10
Another great video. Watamu seems on par or even better than Diani. Thanks again. You guys keep me going as I’m watching it snow out my window right now.
Diani has some of the best beaches but OVERALL resorts, things to do and everything I think Watamu is a better destination. 🇰🇪

WOW! Glad you guys enjoyed my hometown. And yes it's a good idea for you to move to Watamu. I personally worked in Nairobi for some years and I officially quit 8-5 moved back to my hometown Watamu and I am now full focusing on my TH-cam channel which is also about travel & lifestyle

Yes you are right. I am a local at Watamu here is a video I have covered on this trip th-cam.com/video/26J0oQPcvDc/w-d-xo.html
Wish I could have a lifesyle like you guys almost everyday is a holiday🤣🤣
Loll this is far from true! I work over 80 hours a week Jeff! Including 40 in a windowless office in Nairobi! 😅
@@DaveMani haha, keep grinding Dave. You guys are doing a great job 👏 👍
I’m thinking of going to this place for my honeymoon 😍
That would for sure be a good stop :)
Very nice
Thank you! :)
2:09 God damn, that screaming kid. 🤯
loll I know right...
In a noisy club right now with drinks flowing. Will have to watch this later.....
Haha fair enough
Welcome to Taheri Fast Foods restaurant Malindi. For a lovely evening barbecue
Noted :)
Thank you Dave
Checking in from Barbados 😊😇
That sounds exotic! 😎
@@DaveMani 😎
I like your dress,i saw such dresses at vivo. Hope it will fit me
Thanks :)
My son likes grilled turkey. With lemon
I do too
Beautiful place but we really need to see the rooms well. You have only shown partially. Please give us thorough room tours. We only see Tracy pointing ....hahaha
We do our best to showcase the room but also be quick about as people are more interested in the overall picture and vlog aspect than spending 5 minutes on a room tour. I'll do mu best to find a balance. 👍🏼
@@DaveMani I feel you as a travel blogger myself. It's always a challenge to find the right balance. Some audience want full room your others want the outdoors😁
Has the Kenyan ministry of tourism ever contacted you guys to appreciate the work you do marketing kenya? I hope they have. You guys do a good job marketing kenya to new generation of travellers. I think there should be ways that National and county governments can partner with you.
Sadly, I have never heard of them... Maybe one day! ❤️
ok I can see some good sales and marketing skills
Well thank you haha
Cool international magazines
Thanks :)
Shissh! Following this should b counted as going on a mini vacay.
Haha I appreciate that David :p
Great video with amazing places and hidden gems. One thing though, do less of portrait videos and more of the scene videos especially when showcasing the destination e.g..room tours. We often hear the description without a video/picture of the place being described.
Im trying to keep the room tours short as most people want to see the bigger picture and the vlog aspect of the video. What I'll try to do tho, is to overlay footage of the room while Tracey talks. 👍🏼
@@DaveMani that wil be awesome 👌
Selling Kenya to the world 🌎
That is the goal :)
So you just decided to point the light into someone else's room? 😂 And that singing part. So goofy!
Loll no no no I swear! 😅 The rooms were all on the same side haha. She pointed it at a pathway and a fountain. Hahaha
@@DaveMani That's totally fine then. Lol!
Beautiful place !!!!! So you came back to Kenya after Christmas??.
Yes. We just went back to Canada for about 3 weeks. 🇨🇦
@@DaveMani and Tracy we are waiting for more vlogs in 2022!!
I saw them ,what a lovely couple.@tracy that bodyyy girllll you look so fine do you workout ??? I also got to see dave's famous sunnies .keep doing what your doing guys .
Thank tou so much Rosemary! ❤️ Tracey does workout... sometimes... 🤣
Brother i from Kenya in mombasa
That’s awesome! :)
Thats awesome :)

Of course we can loll
@@DaveMani 😂 okay,bet i will confirm when I go to do my masters there,God willing

This videos make my job seem so boring..I think am gonna resign 😂
Arent you jealous? Or a hatet ? Dont watch or dont comment stay with your suggestions.
Haha this is sadly not my real job... 😅 I spend Monday to Friday in an office without windows! 😴
