We Took Our Canadian Family On A Luxury Trip in Watamu Kenya

Because Watamu is our favorite location on the Kenyan Coast, this is where we decided to take our family who came all the way from Canada to relax a little and enjoy some beach time after their safari adventure!
But of course, we couldn't bring them to some random beach resort! We took them to Watamu's best beach villa. Welcome to Zuri by Tribalsand. This luxury beach villa has 6 bedrooms and can sleep up to 14 people. It has 2 living rooms, a beautiful dinning room and more outdoor space that you could ever dream of. We had 3 kids with us and if you ask them, their favorite part was definitely the massive pool and beach access because yes, the Zuri Villa is beachfront!
Get more info about the Zuri Beach Villa here: tribalsand.com...
Tribalsand had a total of 3 luxury villas on the Kenyan coast and this was our second stay with them. You can watch our vlog about their My Amani property in Vipingo, Kenya here: • Kenya's Most Luxurious...
For the family to have the full Kenyan coast experience, we also planned a few activities even though they were already more than contempt with the beach villa itself.
Up first, we took them for the best pizza of their life at Sunset Beach Restaurant. This place crafts authentic Italian pizzas and there are not other place like it. Yes, we have been to Italy and had pizza there but we stand by what we say when we state that Sunset Beach Watamu has the best pizza in the world.
Watch our full review of Sunset beach here: • The World's Best Pizza...
And because a trip to the Kenyan Coast wouldn't be complete with a day at the, we took the family onboard our favorite dhow called Pepo Huru. It all started with dolphin sighting before heading to a private beach and ending the morning with some snorkeling where I saw my first stingray in Kenya. From there, we headed for lunch at Rock and Sea where we had some delicious handmade pasta and seafood before going back on the Pepo Huru dhow for a beautiful sunset cruise on Mida Creek. Literally the perfect day in Watamu, Kenya.

Hi there, How are you all? If you do not mind me sharing; a well-planned, organic and unrefined plant-based diet (consuming edible raw plant foods where possible so as not to denature enzymatic activities beneficial to the human system. If disagreeing on this matter, please try planting some steamed carrots and see if they will grow; if they fail to, it is because they are 'dead' plant food that cannot fully nourish one's 'living' cells) consisting of organic fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds and whole grains is the best diet to provide mankind with ultimate health and longevity. These foods, fresh and grown in rich soil, are found all the essential vitamins, calcium, carbohydrates, fats, fibre, minerals, protein and water needed to make good blood and enjoy health. Please avoid meat alternatives that contain harmful preservatives and additives e.g vinegar, a corrosive agent. Food toxicity and nutrient deficiency (e.g white bread, white rice and white sugar) are a deadly combination as one is hindering the body's building materials needed to action healing whilst at the same time taxing the system with more damaging toxic things, thus bringing about disease and possibly even an early death. GOD Bless 💙💙💙

[@sethrono6013]

Hey Dave. You do a really excellent, fantastic job.. You really excel in your niche. Your show is better than 90% of shows in big channels such as discovery. Even as is without adding anything, your show is already awesome. It is enriching, relaxing, refreshing and a good experience to watch. Your guests are always very relatable and personable. It also has a wide appeal and is family friendly. You excel in your niche. I can't name a single person who does it better. Both vloggers and even mainstream TV. Your show as is could transition well into TV, you could also do graphic hard covers to show case your photography memoirs. Cover East Africa more. But you are No1 in regards to quality Kenyan content. Don't allow anyone to out compete you. In regards to Kenyan travel content. You are the best! I'm sure tourists will refer to your recommendations for decades. Your content is evergreen. We appreciate your work. You are a very hard worker. Keep it up. As a viewer I always enjoy the viewing experience. It uplifts my mood. Be blessed. Cheers.

[@daviddavis7959]

@@user-ns7dj1lo3r Show me one local Kenyan content creator. The proof is in the pudding. Just talking won't help. Show me a link. I have seen all of Kenyan bloggers and one who comes to mind is singh. But he stopped posting content. The rest focus on themselves. Like look how I look, look what am wearing. They need to learn from the best so that they can up their game. The world is not waiting on Kenya. Tourism is a cut throat business and tourists have many options. If you don't stand out you get lost in the weeds. Dave and MANI consistently provide us quality content without fail for the last 2-3yrs. Who has done that. Another is "Where Next Family" who provide quality content. Kenyan bloggers just need to up their game. Competition with the best only makes them better. May be local content creators are good for local viewers but dave and mani capture the imagination of the rest of the world. Why not have both. The more the merrier
