Our CRAZY Safari Flight Experience (40-year-old plane😱)

Check out Dan's FREE Points Master Starter Guide to learn how to get luxury travel for cheaper: www.nonstopdancourses.com
Today, we're leaving Nairobi and starting off our safari adventure with a SUPER EPIC flight to the Maasai Mara, possibly the most famous national park in Africa (shared with Tanzania, where it's known as the Serengeti of course)🦒
To get there, we boarded a super short flight on Kenya Airways at Wilson Airport, flying an over-40-year-old airplane known as the de Havilland Canada Dash 7. There are only a few places around the world where these old planes still fly, and East Africa happens to be one of them!
Come along as we show you this cool flight, how we land on DIRT/GRAVEL, and the luxurious safari hotel we stayed at in the national park! You definitely don't want to miss that part to learn how you can stay in similar properties and fly in premium cabins for a fraction of the retail price, so stick around until the end!

We’re Oskar🧔🏻 and Dan👱🏻‍♂️, and we believe that anyone regardless of who they are deserves to live their dreams! For the past nine years, we’ve continued pushing boundaries by traveling and living all across the world, including places like Uganda, Brunei, and Saudi Arabia. In 2022, we reached a huge milestone by visiting 100 countries and we’re now on a mission to keep sharing our journey and hopefully make the world a little more open, compassionate, and peaceful along the way❤️
Thank you for being a part of the journey!

Toootally but that Maasai Mara trip is a dream

Western world people are usually nervous on their first visit to Africa. There’s nothing to worry about!!! I’m from the US and I go every year since 1998; it’s my magic happy place. Though I’ve never been to West Africa. It’s extremely welcoming. I’ve done so many safaris. For people that don’t know, it’s very different dependent on where you go. East (Kenya/Tanzania) are open and beautiful plains…the easiest wildlife viewing. Plus you can also experience the beautiful islands off the coast of both countries, notably Zanzibar in Tanzania. The gorilla experience is in adjacent Rwanda…it’s not inexpensive, but the funds contribute to conservation efforts. The gorillas can also be experienced in two adjacent countries to Rwanda, but note I’m not mentioning their names. South is Botswana/Zimbabwe/Zambia…mixed landscape, including unforgettable water based safari experiences, which is my personal favorite. Everyone will develop their own opinion. South Africa is bush, and I must have poor eyes, cuz it’s harder for me to see the wildlife…though their are a few parks in the north of SA that are more sparse in vegetation/bush, so easier viewing. No matter where you choose, it’ll be great. But my passion is to be with the people, and I have a particular love for Zambia and Malawi (I love the people of all the countries!!!) where I really love staying in villages, always with local families, often sleeping on dirt floors (sometimes shared with the goats), picking vegetation from the ground to stew (a staple of local food) for meals, pump water from the ground, etc. The experience fills the heart!!!! Finally, people pay so much to visit Africa. It’s not necessary! Use a local operator and it’ll just be 1/3 the cost.

[@freedomm]

Cosign with every point. 👍🏾 Your right about the landscape. The Lion King was inspired by Kenya's Maasai Mara and Hell's Gate parks.

air travel in Kenya is one of the safest on the continent you don't need to worry 😀

Wow. That's pretty amazing including the plane.🙂Get well soon, Dan

Thank you so much guys I was waiting your new video.

[@gamerboyz2024]

Stunning and brave

[@Tom-pw2ni]

this is awesome! a safari in Africa really does change your soul, even if you go for the "budget" option, still expensive, it really does change you

[@ralphwyman9642]

There are several small safari airlines that use very modern Cessna Grand Caravans, 12-13 passenger single engine turboprops. Our group did this in Feb. 2024 and it felt very safe.

[@devvolia1433]

Love this video! Such a unique experience too

[@kinyuakariithi]

Thanks for touring my country Kenya.....Kenya to the world

[@amondinyandat-zw1no]

So glad you're enjoying the Kenya safari

Loved the music during take off.

[@mauiguy6710]

Poor Dan nothing fun about being sick while traveling. 😞 JWM resort looks amazing! ❤🌈

[@cinemagirl4907]

Loved this video. The plane was great and this might be a good option for my gazillion marriott points.

[@WarlockofSF]

Wow such a cool vlog! I’ve always wanted to go on a safari!! Too bad Danipl wasn’t feeling well 😢. Beautiful views from that old plane. Your driver had on an awesome outfit. Such a natural tent ! 15:05

[@OskarandDan]

Danipl😂😂 He's good now!

[@mirra_xo]

i love you guys so much!!!

Merry Christmas Oskar and Dan! Great filming, as always. (@ 15:00 ...How did you get back in?)

Älskar hur jag har funderat över var jag känner igen Dan ifrån och nu fick jag det förklarat... aviatiooooon!! Danke! 😅

Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas Oskar and Dan!

[@sheilacarlislepyreneesmom]

What a beautiful resort! ❤

[@Hey_look_at_that]

Omg your "tent" looks amazing, I really want to stay there! 😮

[@OskarandDan]

The "tent" was awesome😍

[@NadirbuxBaloch]

What a beautiful resort ❤

[@TheWhore2culture]

Hey Boys,i can literally smell the view, watching you land & drive. I'll be there in time for Xmas, stopping in Madrid to pick up my godson & his mother,but,we'll be hopping in a helicopter & heading for Lake Nivasha. As the owner of the company is in our holiday party,we're very spoilt & will have one on standby 24/7. But,charter trips are available,normally by the hour or come to an arrangement. It is such an awesome way to see an amazing country. As per tradition we'll - if the weather is clear - fly up & enjoy the view & snow. As well as some sweeps over the flamingos. Hope you had an awesome time,even if Dan wasn't 100%. Not sure if you'll post again before the holidays, if not,wherever you are, wishing you & yours both, as well as anyone who's read this far,a VERY Happy Christmas.

[@OskarandDan]

Wow, sounds like you guys are in for an amazing trip😍 Happy Christmas to you and your family too🙏🏼

[@juniorcampbell2980]

Loved this. I'm actually visiting Kenya next Feb and doing both Nairobi and Masa Mara That's my idea of camping.

[@felixrilley5931]

You're very welcomed.. Incase you need someone to show you around I'll be glad.. And ofcourse at no cost.. Kenya is beautiful

[@zaynthetraveller5891]

The road conditions are meant to stay like that for your ultimate wild experience.

Hey Dan, by any chance did y'all consider taking malarial prophylaxis before flying to Kenya?

[@Sub-on6bz]

Great vid guys! But until you have flown a Twin Otter into Lukla in Nepal, you haven't truly earned your avgeek stripes, Dan :p

[@avgeekinfotainment7776]

Ah, the mighty Dash-7😎, had the honour to fly on it in Greenland over 15 years ago. Want to land on a post stamp? Hold my mapple syrup😅

[@githice]

Thank God Almighty for internet, youtube and advances technology in my lifetime, I live in Kenya but never been to Maasai Mara, never flew from Wilson, but see me now....seen it all

[@jcgrant1234]

Oskar's hat is just too cute, I mean Oskar is always cute but put that hat on him and it is like sugar on top of syrup. Dan is cute too...but he needs a hat like that.

[@successsocial3986]

Those planes are quite efficient. Unfortunately what you are used to cannot land in bush airstrips.....Abit of research would have informed you that bush planes only take 15kgs of soft bags....

[@freedomm]

If I stayed in a tent like that I'd never want to leave.

[@ivankipkorir]

Which camera you’re using?

[@OskarandDan]

iPhone 15 Pro Max :)

*AMAZING!* Oh, and what's wrong with being 40?

[@OskarandDan]

Nothing wrong for humans but it might be pushing it for a plane😅

[@oscarwinston1159]

What were your point on this stay per night?

[@antwainebarkley9765]

U should have brought your own plane

[@rickm5271]

So sorry your not feeling well Dan, but wow you sound sexy AF! I love the video! Thank you both!

[@sithabelamandlawenkosiwodu6298]

This was really wholesome. I'm just left wondering how they react to a same sex couple especially since your room shows you're sharing a bed. I know kenya and Africa at large is very anti so I'm curious.

[@OskarandDan]

We shared a bed both here and in Nairobi, no questions asked :) We've never had an issue at international chain hotels, but sometimes we'll book twin beds at local guesthouses in more conservative countries.

[@sithabelamandlawenkosiwodu6298]

@@OskarandDan thank you for the response. This really helps with my travels. While i enjoy watching travel content i feel it is vital to get content from people who share similar stories as that can mean a world of a difference. Thanks again.
