[@DaveMani]

Check out pur road trip to visit 42 baby elephants! 🐘➡️ kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJzIdqR5ost3l7M

[@wolfiekarati]

kindly consider visiting Impala park kisumu

[@oryankibandi3556]

I saw buffalo dung at the top of mt. Longonot while hiking. didn't realize how high these animals can climb. They definitely don't skip leg day.

[@DaveMani]

Thats very impressive! I really wanted to see an elephant! haha 🐘

[@TheOrganizedLawyer]

😂😂😂 it's leg day for me

That classic Maasai pose is always iconic! Wherever you meet the Maasais or the Samburus be it in Narok,Kajiado,Amboseli or in Laikipia,they all randomly strike the pose and a Post Card Moment happens live right infront of you 👌

[@DaveMani]

Classic

I have 3 Massei spears on display in my livingroom. 2 are the long blade type with decorative beads and the other is almost identical to Simon's accept no beads on the wood shaft that joins the spear tip and the bottom half. Made in the early teens of this century. Would love an original shield someday.

[@DaveMani]

Thats awesome! 👍🏼

[@martino6205]

Next you should try Mt Kenya national park through Chogoria gate. Great for camping.

[@DaveMani]

I'll make sure to check it out! 🇰🇪

Awesome drone shots at the top! The maasai sandals are called "Akala" made from old tyres and they are available at most local markets.

Hi Dave, Tracy, Great video. Try Chalbi desert and lake Turkana in Northern part of Kenya.

We will do both hopefully this year! :)

[@Fanax]

Good point about the sandals. Before you mentioned it I was thinking difference between the Westerners and indigenous and how free he looked going down the hill and you Dani especially with your heavy boots. You were overly prepared as Westerners and with more 'gear' which wasn't required that day. I hope you learn that a little 'chilling' isn't too bad. I had same experience coming from the West and had to learn to take more 'easy'. Even the stride was different yours was heavy due to the boots and gear. You do the sensible thing for example I would want to wear boots climbing the night time when it's dark. The feet need to breath it's not natural to be fortified in a tight place with moisture due to sweat which can't be healthy.

[@matthewnolan1709]

I have trekked Ololokwe 5 times and I find lighter weight hiking shoes perfect. I use Oboz. But do not choose their waterproof option as they don't breathe.

[@wachu8522]

So long as I am assured there are no snakes around

[@DaveMani]

Very true! He told me that most days he does that hike twice! He was very fit! 💪🏼

[@valentinke]

[@brianm5753]

Quite a view from the top. I think that's where I'd set up tent

[@DaveMani]

There is actually a campsite up top! 🙃

[@mikeotieno87]

You should try Mt Kasighau in Taita Taveta. Visit the Kasighau sanctuary to see some snakes in the wild

Dave, was he samburu or massai... because you referred to him as massai and i believe he is samburu, a cousin of the massai's.

Samburu

Hi, just wanted to remind you that in slightly over a week we have our election. The contest is very very hot. Normally we experience some violence around election. The extend we can’t predict and there could even be none. I would advice if you can limit movement. If you stay in the leafy suburbs of Nairobi, just keep to those. Avoid travel as we get closer to the elections and a few days after as you monitor the situation. Avoid crowds and public places.

[@duncanmusingi6835]

Uongo ,uongo bana ,hakuna mtu anapigana na mwingine Ju ya politician.

[@DaveMani]

I am well aware. That being said I think that these election will be much better than 7 years ago. Kenyans are more united this time and also very aware of what happen if things go wrong. I hope for the best!
