Africa's Best Kept Secret / 🇰🇪 The ONLY Over The Water Villa in Kenya / A True Dream Vacation
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- THIS IS NOT THE MALDIVES. Welcome to the one and ONLY over the water villa in Kenya and one of the only three locations in Africa. This is The Sands At Chale Island in Diani Beach, Kenya.
Like most couples we always dreamed of the famous Maldives which is probably the most beautiful place on earth. But let's face it, going to the Maldives is very expensive especially after adding flights. But a few weeks ago we discovered this true hidden gem in Kenya. A Maldives like feel and look right here in Diani Beach Kenya.
This over the water villa was everything we expected and more. Located on the other side of Chale Island, isolated from the other cottages it offers more privacy than you can ever dream of. The villa itself is very spacious with a bedroom, living room and bathroom, basically everything you need. But what makes this over the water villa really special is for sure the balcony; the view of the blue ocean water and your own access to the Indian Ocean. Lastly the outdoor seating area of this over the water villa faces West giving anyone staying there the most beautiful sunset over the Ocean.

You guys have really made us see the best of our beautiful country.Thanks, guys.You are our real ambassadors!
I would echo your remarks. I have come to appreciate how beautiful our country is thru Tracy & Dave Mani
@@EddieMorsVlogs Me too, through these guys, I now have great ideas of what Kenya is made of. Very beautiful country indeed.
I can't get enough of your amazing Vlogs. Thanks for keeping us entertained.
Awh thank you so much :)
For real

Eddie õna we wî gûkû?😉
It’s finally here :)

Eddie mors yaani you are everywhere
Glad the suggestion i made about sands at chale turned out the best
Sure did!
Great editing 🤣🤣🤣
I feel like you should be the ambassadors for magical Kenya
They have done it like non before
Petion for 'em to the ministry of tourism with the link
Awh thank you!
The ambassodor of magical kenya is the london model..Naomi Campbell and kipchoge
Kenya my neighboring country love from Ethiopia
thank you :)
Most welcome
Just discovered this amazing channel!! You guys are a beautiful couple with a great energy:)
I moved recently to Kenya from the US for work and I am SO happy to see those videos here, I'm excited to see more of this breathtaking locations in Kenya. Thanks a lot and much love to you both💛💛💛
Thank you so much!! I'm certain that you will LOVE Kenya! 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
we Kenyans have a swahili saying, translated as "Going to the Coast is easy but leaving is hard" you are always tempted to stay there forever or go back repeatedly. which is happening to you guys. enjoy
well I totally agree with that Swahili saying! haha The coast is amazing.
The Swahili saying goes like this in Swahili
Pwani kuingia ni rahisi kutoka ni ngumu
It happens to me all the time.. I never wanna leave...
@@nevilleilla4651 kuingia raha kutoka karaha, "kutoka ngumu" > hicho si kiswahili
This looks fun and exciting to know that you can find such an amazing holiday spot that mimics The Maldives right here in Kenya. The ocean views look stunning. Thank you for recommending this hidden gem. Keep up the excellent work.
thanks so much!
My wife and I stayed in the over water suite and we didn't even realize there were pools on the island lol. We loved the cottage so much we barely left we also had our dinners on the beach each night which was magical. You should try that next time your there thanks for taking us back.
Sooo true!! We didn’t spend time at the pool besides the lesson haha
Thank you for marketing our tourism industry.
Our pleasure!
I couldn't agree more. I think the ministry of tourism should do something to help support what you doing. Your channel has got me drafting a whole basket list of things to do in Kenya that never thought possible.
You're the best. Thanks for always showing us the beauty of our country that we never New. Beautiful sunset, yummy food, enjoy your stay.
Thank you :)
Your facial expression for rainy cold Nairobi whether says it all 😂
Hahaha yes
Kenya 🇰🇪 is beautiful 👌👌
5 days in the water haven't drank anything got me 🤣🤣🤣you nailed it bro
Hahah had to
I have noticed all ur videos when Dave is talking Tracy is very cooperative 🥰🥰and she is always like" ya"😂amazing 🥰 couple goals 👍👍👍
She doesn't have to agree to everything for it be 'couple goals'? Like what does that even mean?
Whitecap is the best... I'm with Tracey...😊 lovely video. Bucket list added.
Tusker team here :P
I've been watching all your past videos so thanks for the content. It really does look great there and everytime I see your channel pop up I just think of the past video with the peanut butter and jelly shake lol which I must still make
Hahah it was actually super good!
@@DaveMani oh I'm sure lol it definitely looked good
Tracey is always at her best during the house tours❤️❤️
haha thanks :)
She's usually so excited which makes me excited ☺️☺️
Wow ,let me work hard probably one day I will enjoy all this beautiful places in my lovely country Kenya 🇰🇪
I love how this couple creates wonderful memories of a lifetime..it's all worth it..Great vlogs as always😍
it is definitely worth it!
My favourite couple there is nothing you can't do in Kenya
Thank you :)
What you can't do in Kenya does not exist 😂😂😂
This is beautiful!!! I have always wanted to go. If you go to Kisumu I would recommend ‘Impala Eco lodge.’ You will get to see animals at the reserve where the hotel is and it has a restaurant with a beautiful view of the lake. They also have boat rides.
will check them out :)
Was there 2017 stayed in that tall building by the second pool. Loved the ‘Chale Time theme’ We had an ocean view on the top floor. We Parked our car at the main land and brought in by that tractor. It was so cool. Went to the mangrove & saw beautiful birds. Thanks for the memories!
thats awesome, it is a great spot!
@10:04 Tracey's look is priceless when you put her on the spot with the plate of desert.... she's like.... and fruit and ALL to share! 😁😁 You guys rock! I find myself making a collection of your videos about these really nice places☺ Thanks guys!
Hahaha he exposed me
Chale island is soo beautiful. 😍😍😍...the views are just👌👌
Couldnt agree more!
There he finally said it " Kenyan beaches are the best in the world!!" The Manis have spoken!
Haha! Don't you agree :p
Lovely vlog hope you’d visit wasini island someday 🌴
Okay!! :)
I'm here from tiktok to IG n finally UA-cam.. You have good content.. Keep up the good work..
Can't believe how beautiful our country is.Am proud to be Kenyan.😍
it is beautiful!
Team Tracy, WHITECAP for nightcap!!!
Love that!!
One thing I love about you guys is that you do what 99% of Kenyans dont do and that's why you find that there will always be some hate and racism comments in the comment section as well as some dislikes on your videos. If your careful enough, you will note that most Kenyan youtubers are not well supported and that is the sole reason that most of them either have 1 to 5 k subscribers or less than a million subscribers as compared to other countries youtubers. the second thing is that most Kenyans are afraid to advertise the country through vlogs due to the fear of being judged. Third thing is that they have watched too many videos of outside countries to a point that they want to start perfect vlogs instead of starting with what they have. I am a Kenyan too and I know that this are pure facts that am stating here. Your work is so great, I love it. Your decision to come to Kenya is honestly the best. Without you, most hoteliers would never have been discovered, you are a blessing to them. I have a lot that I would love to reveal to you, this is just but a portion of it all. Your work is the best.... Kindly anyone who will read this comment, dont start any racial replies. I support them and also support other Kenyan vloggers like @misstrudy @dianabahati @cheymuv @ wajesusfamily and so many more. The only problem is that I feel that they have not yet covered so much Kenyan content like Dave Mani.
They hv money u think this is cheap ....try it
This is unnecessary. Thy r doing a beautiful thing but it's costing too its not cheap you should know that not everyone can afford
we all start somewhere, can't be perfect!!
Well said.👍
Start you tube channel Kariuki always bring our own down colonial mentality ...
I think Tusker is the most popular brand. My opinion is it makes people drunk easily. Thata my observation.
With white cap not sure . But i see many ladies taking Gueness.
Gueness is super popular as well for sure.
The only bad thing about this video is that it ends..
But this place is so amazing!
hahah love that

love that!
Finally it's here...have waited for this chale island video.....
Awh!! Enjoy :)
Seeing my own country from a different lens is mesmerizing...... Just can't thank you guys enough
Thank you for watching! ❤️
Am still breaking records... The 17th person to view... Just love your vlog daily....
Love it!!
A wonderful water villa! Wow! Beautiful sunset! 🌅
Yes, thank you
Have you gone to Mombasa yet because it's sooooooo calm there but sooo hot
This was absolutely stunning. South Coast is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful places on the planet. Diani is regularly voted as having the best beaches in the world and top in Africa. Top editing Dave, almost cinematographic. One of the best videos yet, great job.
Thank you so much!! :)
@@DaveMani Went for a little staycation at my uncle's in Diani and one frustrating thing was taking a rickshaw whenever I wanted my way to the shop😂
we love you guys here youre always welcome dave
Thanks a lot Melissa!
Amazing place. I love the coastal weather. Always inviting. Beautiful villa.
It sure is!
There's another island hotel (Funzi Island) in Ramisi_Kwale county. You'll use speed boat to access it just like Chale island. Kenya we can have more than Maldives but the problem is no government support and good over water hotels architectural designers
oh cool!!
Mombasa Raha...karibu tena
Hopefully soon
I'm the only Kenyan who hates both Tusker and whitecap...i just prefer Heineken beer
Fair enough
Am heineken all the way
next time could u pls try using the SGR(Standard Gauge Railway) to Mombasa from Nairobi or vice versa?
We will check it out!
Dave mani this is the first video I've watched its the best I ever seen love from uasin gishu Kenya
This is adorable! The location,the cast,the vibes, magical!
So one can walk the channel or take tractor ride when the tide is low to access the mainland! Only in Magical Kenya!
right?
U both have come from far, literally...😁.. amaizing content.. u make me lav my country even moree.
Awh thanks :)
i feel like i will write a comment that tracy will turn into a nove.let me watch the adverts since am speechles guys.you brighten my days.
haha i really try not to!
Im so jealous. What a perfect honeymoon spot. ❤ I've seen some vloggers who negotiate a commission with hotels if viewers book a holiday through them (just like amazon), ask all these hotels you've been to whether they'd be interested.
Tracey, Dave... this is a nice idea. You guys already travel alot & use your own money. Make an effort to meet the Hotel/Resort management in all the places you visit. establish some networks with the managers. some owners of these non franchise resorts have more than one establishment but in different names spread around the country . and have a show reel for your channel to show them; a longer 6-10 minute version and a shorter 2-3 minute that you can just pop out from your phone in an instant
that is a great idea!
It's the Sunday Man! On a Monday!!
😂 After so many hours of binge watching, I was finally catching up to the present.
😂👏 Then I took a 2 week break and now I am a bit back again 😳.
The cool thing is, first time ever I was at Diani, I remember we were on a sand bar in the Indian Ocean and the guy we were with showed us the Island where the Sands of Chale is located from a distance.
I even read about this place prior.
What a miracle to finally see what this beautiful place actually looks like, for free.
Hahaha I love that!!!
Nairobi's weather is currently very much bipolar lol
this is true hahah
Kenya keeps surprising me 😄
it us beautiful!
Lovely couple thanks for showing us our own Maldives. Am Mombasan n didn't know imagine. Thanks will visit
Hey thank you so much! :D
I remember our teachers telling us " Mombasa maji huenda kutembea ina rudi jioni😂😂😂" I thought they were crazy until you mentioned again you don't know where the water could have gone to 😂😂😂😂
Hahaha
@@DaveMani 😂😂😂
Dave , I'm thinking of moving back to Kenya. Had some questions. Can I dm
If you grew up there you probably know more than them.
Sure can, dm on Instagram
Good work helping us find new places to travel.,we love you guys🥰🥰
our pleasure!!
Please higlight tho small boards with funny messages like the one in the bar about Tusker teaching white people to dance since 1922.
im not sure i know what you mean! but if we see them sure!
How much is the full board price for one night
I don't know. This was almost 3 years ago.
I was dying waiting to see this vlog yeah chale is beautiful next time if you go back to coast can you visit Swahili beach hotel you won't regret
Okay!!
White Cap for the win 🍻. Amazing video guys

wow, it sure looks like you're in the Maldives, simply beautiful
Yes it is!
No Jane Justin is our Africa beautiful Kenya, most of the rest of world only show misery in Africa they have decided to do us justice. ..Kenyan is much better than Maldives ...
@@a.muchemi4360 ??sijasema Maldives is better than Kenya in other aspects...i was talking about villas over water and the Maldives is known globally for clear emerald waters and overwater villas. Appreciating the Maldives beautiful waters, which is a fact, haimanishi nadharau Kenya
It's very beautiful kenya 🇰🇪
Diani is just another planet
It’s great!
The place is superb, I was there while making the pool with the pub in the middle.

Agreed! We just landed in Diani again. Currently waiting for my luggage in Ukunda. :)
Great video guys, feels like I'm travelling with you. Never been snorkling before and I quite enjoyed the food. I know I say this a lot but I don't wanna leave.
Hahaha so true
Very beautiful made video of check in and a walk around through this whole amazing island beach hotel resort area with very big exotical garden.
Thank you very much!
Thank you for watching Matthias! :)
Oh! The place looks so amazingly beautiful!
It really is
Notification Gang.
Awesome :)
White Cap over Tusker, White Cap does go better with food... also, Tusker Malt over Tusker Larger
Ouu I think we only had the lager
Comparison; White Cap for mild hangovers. Tusker for total blackout
LOL
Traveling the kenya with my husband to see his family your videos are the best. 🥰wanted to go there eith him how much did u guys pay for the stay???
I don't recall exactly i'm sorry. But the rate would be different anyway for international travellers. Feel free to send them an email they are pretty quick at replying.
whitecup any day
Fair enough :p
