[@thekultureke5218]

very nice🤣🤣so cx5 and xtrail failed us

[@abbas431]

Shoutout to the the lady driving the LC100! That is perfect throttle application. She let the lockers do their job and gave it just enough beans to crawl up the hill. Very impressive. The guy in the 3 door Pajero did well too. Natafuta moja kama hio!

[@KlaBoi-qj8oh]

Please start a 4WD driving course for the Nomads. Many of those vehicles are capable but the owners are over driving them and don't have the experience to navigate rough terrain. I saw a course in South Africa where people were taught how to navigate rough terrain in their own vehicles. They learnt how to navigate different situations in their 4WD vehicles. This would build the Mara Nomads confidence and skillset. No.1 issue is overheating which is a sign of over driving the vehicles to compensate for the lack of all wheel drive experience.

[@TheMaraNomads1920MN]

Well said Nomad. 🙏🙏 That is a very good suggestion. We shall definitely do something.

[@omaetheguy7568]

Hold on, Who built the Jimny? That car did it marvelously!

[@TheMaraNomads1920MN]

The 3-door Jimny is a powerhouse. They are made in Japan. The 5 door one will be made in India.

[@nikkie.explores]

People constantly look down on the Jimny, that car did so well!!

[@WaigwaTheGreat]

She is called a climbing goat 🐐🐐

On this stretch from kws chogoria to the mt kenya lodge i encountered a lone buffalo and i was on a motorcycle some years back. Huge animal that was

Lake Ellis has always been a darling to me. Mashujaa Day 2024 going up there once again

[@G_dan]

I went to chogoria Boys High school. This is the first time I have seen chogoria town in over 15 years. Nostalgic.

[@TheMaraNomads1920MN]

We are honoured to have rekindled those memories. 😊 _D

[@omaetheguy7568]

Wait, that Land Rover made me think the camera was tilted from a flat surface.😂😂🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@TheMaraNomads1920MN]

😂😂 No other car has a traction control or 4wd system as good as Land Rovers. They are so good.

[@saulclint72]

So the Mitsubishi pajero is actually a hardy vehicle??..... thanks to you now i know.... I've always underestimated the offroad capability of that car...now i know better. Asante

My heart was in my stomach watching those cars drive up the mountain. Range Rover made this look easy, really amazing stuff keep up the good work.

[@TheMaraNomads1920MN]

You and us both! Hahaha!! The Discovery 3 is quite a machine. Land Rovers and Range Rovers have the best 4wd system ever made!

I was really routing for the Nissan patrol and Delica but I haven't seen the video😢 Great content, great adventure. Long live mara nomads

[@elijahmwangi8446]

Such a great adventure y'all had nomad fam... The terrain to the lake was a walk over for the 100 series... Mad respect to her!

[@TheMaraNomads1920MN]

The lady driver of the 100 Series did very well. The video did not show just how steep Magnet Hill is. Plus the road is not straight, so one cannot floor the pedal and benefit from momentum but must be slow and technical on the hill. Thank you so much for watching, fam! 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

[@tonyeregae8238]

Simply sublime. Looking forward to join other nomads in future overlanding expeditions.

[@TheMaraNomads1920MN]

[@hesbornacewallace4278]

The Toyotas were like: Mount Everest ain't got shit on mee😅😅

[@TheMaraNomads1920MN]

😂😂 We only realised later that a few Toyotas remained at the bottom of Magnet Hill. But majority made it up.

[@marieheiss6560]

The Mara Nomads you have made it again, amazing views direction Mt. Kenya all the way to lake Ellis, thanks so much The Mara Nomads and your team for clearing up the beautiful environment arround Lake Ellis. KWS shall be strict and follow their motto "littering in parks is strictly forbiden", they shall put an eye to that for anyone who shall be seen littering in any wildlife parks or camping places shall be fined heavly.

I've watched dozens of mara nomads videos and safe to say Paj and LC always reign supreme. The Nissan T30 and Xtrail always a surprise

Great suggestion Nomad! We shall definitely consider it, but we wonder if Land Cruisers will agree. Stories of how LCs overheat on that route are many. 😂

[@masindemafumbo8996]

That KBQ Pajero MK3 chewed magnet hill like Big G.

[@TheMaraNomads1920MN]

It has a great traction control system which when assisted by Centre diff lock, makes Pajeros seem to dance on the trails rather than struggle.

[@dorothystevens101]

Repeat for a day trip to lake ellis pleaseeeee

[@TheMaraNomads1920MN]

Ah, not promising anything but we'll look into that 🙏

The lady in 100 series ate that hill really good 👍.

[@BoazOgola]

Awesome!

[@FidetecGSM]

So the "unreliable" land rover discovery is the best in magnet hill?

[@TheMaraNomads1920MN]

Hahaha! If anyone tells you that there is a 4x4 that has a better 4wd system than Land Rovers, tell them to go back to school.

[@FidetecGSM]

@@TheMaraNomads1920MN I better sell my xtrail and look for disco 2 or something

[@denisonwheels]

For a moment that Land rover made me think the track had been tarmacked.

🤣🤣 All of us felt the same.

The real adventure was climbing magnet hill. The jimny guy had it pretty easy... and the lady driver.... amenichallenge kiasi

[@kennedykamau9536]

How did the Subaru AWDs perform at the magnet hill? If they were left at the bottom,is it coz they could pull the wait or their ground clearance so you chose to avoid any breakdown?

[@TheMaraNomads1920MN]

Ground clearance problems 🙏

[@chronicles8675]

that bridge my mom alishindwa kupita akasema hadi professional driver acome one tour van driver ndie alimpitishia she refused i do it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@garneymgroyala4232]

Choosing the right track accounts for 50% of driving offroad. Unless it's an MK3 Pajero which has the superior 4x4 system ans choosing a track doesn't matter 😊.

[@TheMaraNomads1920MN]

Hahaha! You must be a Pajero owner? Or paid by Mitsubishi? You are very right. The correct track is everything. Except when its the only viable one and still has lots of stones, rocks and very loose volcanic soil.

[@hannahw4769]

Is there fish in that lake? What type of fish?

[@TheMaraNomads1920MN]

There is mountain trout. They like cold mountain lakes and rivers. But best place to find them is Lake Rutundu.

[@mungaigithothero5932]

That ka hill sio mchezo na JIMMY hatambui

[@i-hubtechnologies9022]

How many vehicles of the 40 made it to the lake?

[@TheMaraNomads1920MN]

Like slightly over a half. Magnet Hill said, "You shall not pass"! Those who did not make it, hitched a ride to the lake in the other cars or hiked like a km to the lake from the hill.
