  • We had no idea how wonderful Naivasha truly was until we went on a safari with Chui Lodge. From the lake to the mountains and the overall lushness, the Naivasha area of Kenya honestly deserves it's name on the best safari areas of Africa.
    A big thank you to Jabali Outdoor who keeps supporting our channel.
    Their brand new game called the Iron Snake is fun, high quality and 100% Kenyan made. There is no better way to bring friends and family together.

    Welcome to Chui Lodge, a beautiful safari camp only two and a half hours from Nairobi. This lodge has 8 luxury cottages, a nice restaurant and a fantastic heated pool. They offer game drives, night game drives, horseback riding, boat safari on Lake Naivasha, hiking bush breakfasts and so much more. Of course, we did it ALL!

      There is lodges at all kinds of prices. That being said this one is a bit more expensive. Probably around $500usd per night if not a bit more. But don`t quote me on that. Check with them or use Ongeri Epxedition if you'd like a good tour agent.

  • @ronpeer7975
    @ronpeer7975 Рік тому +1

    Soooo this is the thing that freaks me out about safari’s. I asked a friend of yours about going near lions and leopards (and you are in an open truck) what stops a hungry lion from just jumping in the vehicle and making you their meal? She didn’t have a good enough answer to suit me. Plus they would smell the fear on me and know prey is nearby. I don’t even want to watch the Idris Elba movie about the lion. It would be like going swimming after watching Jaws.

    • @DaveMani
      @DaveMani  Рік тому +1

      Well first, lions are not very interested in eating humans. And even tho nothing is 100% safe, I would argue that you have more chance getting into a serious accident on your way to the safari camp than getting attacked by a big cat during a game drive.

    • @lynoluoch1891
      @lynoluoch1891 Рік тому

      In the African wild, the predators should be the least of your concern. Elephants, Buffalos and Hippos pose a huge threat to you than Lions, leopards or Hyenas would.
