[@DaveMani]

We had to come up with a plan B!

[@jamesmwangi6463]

Ol Jogi is more of an exclusive kind of conservancy with access only to guests staying with them.. Quite costly as well, as a tour consultant I know better... Anyway enjoy Laikipia, there is so much more to see and experience.

[@Nimzzable]

The Manis really give a fair review. With video evidence. This would have been great publicity for them. All the Mani's supporter should be boycotting that place

[@es.6652]

Didn't know that coz I've been there a couple of time. Yes I've stayed with them but I've also camped on personal tents without issues.

[@DaveMani]

And that is fine. The issue is that when we called they told us yes...

[@jamesmwangi6463]

@@DaveMani Yes, this paints a rather negative picture of the conservancy. Through experience, I find written confirmation a safer way to avoid last minute disappointments.

[@akenyantraveler]

What a coincidence, just recently some good friends of mine were really given a hard time before being allowed to enter Ol Jogi. They are very snobbish about their conservancy I hear. I'm SOO curious as to whether or not they will reach out to you with either an apology or explanation. Please keep us posted!

[@DaveMani]

I'm sure they won't!

Thank you so much!

[@atakanmerdin8481]

Ol jogi have always been very clear about bush camping. It's just not their policy. Are you sure they irrefutably stated that you can self camp there??? They also have a great program teaching school kids about conservation. Last time I was there, lots of school kids were having a great informative time. Was very encouraging that most of these were schools from the laikipia area! This is a big move in making conservation actually accessible. The bear I feel is from a time ol jogi served a different philosophy... which seems corrected now (hopefully). All in all we had a smooth experience going there.

[@DaveMani]

They did when we call!

Hi Dave and Tracey ! I enjoy going on your trips with you. So, I was curious about Ol Jogi and looked them up, looks like they do good things there. Sad that they were so rude to you. I wrote to them and told them about your video of being turned away, now seen by 38 thousand people ! Very bad publicity for them. A bear?????

Hi. Which camera do you use? Thanks

[@DaveMani]

Sony a7siii

[@malisancube01]

Sorry about that. I highly think its related to the risks associated with camping in such a place as these places are really dangerous and you won't see an attack coming. They don't even recommend that you get out of the vehicle. I'd say its for your safety.

[@DaveMani]

The issue came from the fact that they told us yes over the phone a day prior...

[@joywangechi9415]

😂😂lemme offer you some Swahili lessons.. Kuja means come I think they're calling the other guides cause they have been notified of an animal . Karibu means welcome I'm sure you've heard that. Tunawapenda🤎...we love you guys keep up 🥰

Well put together. BUT, are you mad? Camping in Africa? Ha, ha! Born and raised there. Chui will come and eat you! Check out the Usamabras. Cool, 5,500ft up. Low humidity. Few bugs. The highest peak, "Kwamungu". ie. "To God." Always in cloud like heaven. The graves of the Kings of the Wa - samba there. Magical...."In the calm of the evening, the cries of the peacocks echo through the valley....."

[@DaveMani]

Camping in Africa is the best! Yes animals do come pretty close sometimes at night but hey, it's part of the adventure! :)

[@davidwheatcroft2797]

It only takes once. Leopards grab you around the neck, then disembowel you with their back claws. NEVER have a dog away from the coast - is the favourite food of chui (leopard). Enjoyed your videos. Good job! Check out Semuc Champey in Guatemala and lake Atitlan. Go Jan, Feb, March - no rain.

Honestly I feel like ol jogi gives people a hard time giving people access because they keep the only bear in Kenya which I feel like it's so wrong.

Why does it take phone calls to confirm whether camping is allowed or not? If it is a policy then it should have been clear from the time Dave made the first phone call.

Totally agree. They even contradict themselves by trying to make phone calls. If there is no camping it is a straight forward policy that should be clear by the time phone calls are made.
