17:18 this moment right here sums up why I love this channel so much. Just two amazing people who have never shied away from soaking in different aspects of a culture that isn't theirs. The tongue-in-cheek comment from Dave about mzungus was hilarious. 😂

[@DaveMani]

Cheers to that my friend! 😂👍🏼❤️

[@Anji2010100]

Now this is a true top luxury property! It has wonderful service. I like my creature comforts.

[@DaveMani]

We agree!

[@e.kay254]

Said scarf is coincidentally a popular Kenyan item popularly known as 'Maasai Blanket'. Lots of Kenyan households love it in the home or car for various reasons like bed sheet, table cloth, sofa sheet etc and also very popular for road trips to cold places. The FACT that Mrs. Mani gravitated to it naturally means that she is definitely 100% one of us! -- Plus y'all know the foods, and ate the ugali right. And because of that you are definitely changing the world 🙂Kudos!

[@DaveMani]

No no no, that was our point, we normally get Maasai blankets but this camp had actual scarf. Just very narrow pieces of Maasai Blanket doubled with fleece.

[@e.kay254]

@@DaveMani cool. Got it!

[@rosaakeza3566]

You ate the ugali with hands. Very well done 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@DaveMani]

Of course :p

[@joymunyi7843]

Your bg music is something else. I've lost count of the times I've listened to minute 3:50. Like the build up to the crescendo enhanced by the "wheels going round and round shot" and then shot of the hot air balloons flickering and "aaabah!" Eeeish! Perfect shot, perfect music. Love it... or I just love South African beats, I don't know 🙈😂😂

[@DaveMani]

Thank you so so much Joy! :)

[@brettfreliche]

Have you two compiled a Top 5 or 10 Best Camp list? Like best luxury, best budget, best value, best game drive, etc?

[@DaveMani]

I would say yes. We have made 74 safari videos in Kenya. Every location and every budget.

[@brettfreliche]

@@DaveMani so I gotta watch all 74 videos. Awesome.

[@traderBrayoh]

JW Mariot is supper expensive But worth it in a life time

[@DaveMani]

It's very expensive for sure yes! 😅

[@TequeJohnson-n9p]

Magical Kenya I know you guys miss home Kenya is unmigratable

[@DenisMuthiani]

We love you family❤

You guys saved the best for the last! Pure luxury in the bush 👍 Was this before or after the floods?

[@DaveMani]

After actually :)

[@kennlovelyfx]

[@DaveMani]

Yeah! :)

[@SammyKaranja-o4w]

Wonderful

[@DaveMani]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@Mashariki_0]

2:08 the food was so good it woke Dave up 😂. I'm curious between this one and the one in Nairobi, which is better value for your coin? ❤❤🇰🇪

[@DaveMani]

Hard to say as they are completely different. One is a hotel and one is a safari camp. And I can tell you that the Mara location is MUCH more expensive as well.

[@HoneymoonersClub]

Amazing video!! What month of the year did you guys go and do you recommend to book around that time?

[@DaveMani]

To be honest, I always recommend low season, outside of the great migration as there will be waaaaay lest trucks in the park which makes for a better experience. In high season, it is frequent to see lions with over 50 trucks around which is awful... Plus, low season is cheaper and believe it or not, the animals don't know about low and high season there are there year around haha.

[@lisahoneycutt183]

Thanks for the great video! I will be there end of this month and am putting my packing list together. Did you bring insect repellent or is it not necessary because of the Mara's high altitude?

[@DaveMani]

They have some in the room if you need but we rarely use any. The Mara is normally not that bad in terms of bugs. 👍🏼

[@faith6007]

[@ZariahZoe]

please don't say last, please, please don't say last. i am working towards getting my degree in mass communication. I'm a fan from Kenya of both you ( Dave ) and Tracey ,and once i have attained all the necessary certifications to get the opportunity, in the future i could really love to work with both you and your channel, even if Tracey needed assistance i would do it (if we're going full swing here..but i honestly would). i started a you tube account on the account I'm using right now but couldn't keep it running for one reason or the other and I'd be open to sharing that with you, however this is a passion..working with you, would be a dream, so please don't say last trip to the Mara or safari..(Dave, please come back for chapatis in Kenya, lollll) keeping a positive mind, we will see you soon in Kenya! Safe travels!

[@DaveMani]

Very much appreciated, but even tho its is time for us to move on, more adventures are coming! :)

[@farasicorner]

Dave just to make us Kenyans always feel like the first borns of your channel, never forget to mention us every now and the on your channel 😂😂. Even if the video was about Croatia or Malta, find a way of mentioning us just yo make us feel nice 😂😂. All the best to you and the beautiful Tracy. We, Nairobi boys, were not able snatch Tracy away from you, seems like you treat her like a queen she is😅😅

[@DaveMani]

That is 1000% certain! :) 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪

[@Becky-cw4ne]

😂😂😂

[@traderBrayoh]

Dave can you explain how you can remember someone you saw 2 years ago in a different place,The drive

[@DaveMani]

We don't remember everyone but when we have a good interaction with a staff member, we normally remember them. :)

[@SigmaRas]

FYI, as a Kenyan, I don't apologize using my fingers when eating, I just like them!!😅

[@DaveMani]

I love that hahaha!

[@annaogusini7904]

my goodness it a beautiful place, how much a night

[@DaveMani]

I'm not sure to be honest but expensive for sure. Their pricing are online.

A wonderful couple

[@charismao5515]

Question: What tent is best to stay in during the stay - closer to the clubhouse or further away. Also, do you recommend the regular tent with hot tub or presidential tent with hot tub as well as plung pool?

[@DaveMani]

I like a bit further away from the main lodge personally for noise and for the tent, I haven't seen the presidential one but if you can afford it, I'm sure it's spectacular.

[@charismao5515]

@@DaveMani wish I could afford it, but my stay will be mostly on points. The only difference with the presidential tent is the plung pool. Thanks for the great content and good luck on your evolving journey!

[@EDDY_Kimani]

We stayed 2 nights but 3 would be the minimum I recommend.

[@jimstaab2393]

When were you there?

[@DaveMani]

In late July 2024.

[@samlee6497]

Was the visit before or after the flooding?

After

Hey Dave, do they charge for lenses?

No they don't. They only charge if you print photos.

@@DaveMani ooh thanks.

[@chosenireri8443]

Do we have Kenyan dessert since it was a Kenyan night?

[@DaveMani]

They did not... :(

[@Xyzfob463]

Q - is off roading allowed in the safaris ?

[@DaveMani]

It depends on where. Private conservancies yes but National Parks no.

[@golddata5151]

At 2.5k USD a night for a couple This is neither ultra luxury nor at the top of the range in Masai Mara. Sala’s camp , Singita are ultra luxury !

[@DaveMani]

We haven't been to those but yes, very expensive. Most people book this camp via Marriott points.

[@gdsahota3763]

Wht is the music piece at 3:50

[@DaveMani]

From Daniel Deuschle

[@MYA_78600]

Can you share which music is this

A lot is from Daniel Deuschle.

Did you find many animals in maasai mara

[@DaveMani]

Yes

[@nathannathan3221]

Enkewa camp' try it pls

[@DaveMani]

Maybe one day :)

[@SigmaRas]

Dear President Ruto, give this couple Kenyan citizenship ASAP, by default.

[@DaveMani]

That would be nice :p

[@MrCreative16]

Shared game drives, shared sundowners and a location by the town away from the heart of the reserve... it's far from ultra luxury

[@abocas]

Question of definition 😉

[@DaveMani]

I have to agree with you on that one.

[@MrCreative16]

The best in the Mara, the best on the continent, the best steak, the best cave, the best resort, the best chapati...the rating meant something once but then it got lost along the way in commercial considerations. Much as you are paid to say nice things about places, being honest and objective and sending people to places to spend thousands of dollars of their money has its responsibility. I hope the vintage excitement and honesty of your initial videos comes back when you're out there in the real world. All the best 🙏
