Thanks for the wonderful videos of Naivasha. Growing up I used to spend a lot of time there. Fishing is also very good and a great lake to go swimming in, even learned how to windsurf there. One of the few fresh water lakes with no bilharzia in it. Couple of fun facts about Naivasha, is one of the only fresh water lakes in the world that does not have a river running out of it. Usually lakes that do not have a river flowing out, get very alkaline like Magadi or Bogoria. The theory was that the water flows out the bottom and this water is what then powers the fumaroles that come out at Hell's Gate and inside Mount Longonot. Also the part of the lake that is on inside of the crescent side of Crescent Island is actually an extinct volcanic crater. It is much deeper than the rest of the lake and also much colder to swim in. Also, wonderful footage of the Fishing Eagles, did you know that they are identical to the American Bald Eagle, but slightly larger? On one of your excursions you should go hiking around the crater rim of Longonot. Again thanks for the great videos
Surely these adventures will strengthen your marriage. I wish i could do this with the love of my life. It would be epic and you'll create memories that will stay with you for the rest of your lives.
Thank you Dave and Tracey for consistent efforts of showing the beauty of my country to the world. For a long long time we have suffered from people who come to Kenya with aim of showing how poor we are - which is not true at all.
I grew up in Naivasha, my dad worked in one of the large flower farms but we never bothered to visit that island. Thanks guys for allowing us to visit the island through your 👀
Guys you are our Tourist Ambassador. I would like to petition the department of immigration to extend your stay in Kenya or ven give you a permanent resident.You are more patriotic than some of us!!!
Lake Naivasha is a fresh water lake. I went to school around there. We used to catch fish and roast them. Great memories. Thanks guys and keep enjoying yourselves.
Another awesome video guys. Brings back memories of our trip in 2008 and we had high tea outside on the lawn at Elsamere the Adamsons retirement home. It was amazing and the fish eagles beautiful. The Adamsons did the born free film with Elsa the Lion. Thankyou so much for the memories love it. Keep up the fantastic work. You have the best channel on you tube and deserve all the success it brings in the future.
Thank you guys for this amazing clip, I actually grew up in bush island, just the before you get to crescent island, my mum used to work for Jack couffer, he was a film director and a photographer. I would Love to request a favour from you, in early 90s there was film that was shot in crescent island, my mum and other long gone folks featured in it including me but I was soo young and I can vividly remember what was going on. My request is if you can try to find out which movie was that and you can share it with me, I don’t have any visual memories of my mum and if I can see her through that movie I will appreciate it soo much, she passed on while I was still a very young boy.
Naivasha town is my home place,imagine how i had to watch till the end,i have been on the lake sides several times though not at this Island, will surely visit when i go home,hope you enjoyed samaki "fish" and ugali..
I love Sopa Lodges. The L. Naivasha and L. Nakuru are my favourites. Great views, great rooms and great staff and though it's been a while since I have been back, their rates then were very affordable. Great to see that you visited them.
@@DaveMani Yes they are and it seems like their rates have remained pretty much the same, based on what you mentioned at the end of the video. We paid Ksh.18k for two full board back in 2014 December. I didn't take a lot of videos then but I took a couple of amateur photos and will try putting it together as a slideshow video for both Naivasha and Nakuru. I agree their marketing team needs to improve a lot. Thanks for your continued effort to explore and showcase our great country.
Hi Dave & Tracy... you guys need to climb Mt. Kenya and Mt. Kilimanjaro.. it will be a different but fun experience for you both. I have done both mountains and I think you will love the experience too.
Really REALLY Love your content! More and more destinations on my to visit list. Hopefully my 2 week old daughter (quarantine was great!) will get to experience this soon! ❤️❤️❤️
Watching from south Africa and yes I am out of words!so beautiful and i enjoyed the video and watched it twice just for fun. How i wish you could have shown us the drive to the place. Thanks so much and keep the good work going.
Wow! You guys really had fun with boat rides! I used to work at L. Naivasha Country Club and I enjoyed boat rides, with lots of animals coming near the hotel especially hippos but they super dangerous!
Nice to see you guys made a trip to Naivasha. We were there with my family in December and we really had a good time. We woke up to see the hippos they were right outside the lodge but we were peeping from our rooms. Naivasha is beautiful, i really enjoyed being around nature. I would go back there again and again. Enjoy❤
Thanks a lot for showing us this video! My family is planning for a big wedding but can't decide which place to hold it. There is the Great Rift Valley Lodge and Golf Resort, Enashipai and Sawela to choose from....
Hey guys pls do Lodwar, Kisumu; Acacia Premier, Rusinga Island Lodge, Mfangano Island Lodge, Takawiri Island Lodge, Lake Baringo Resort, Lion Hill Lodge in Lake Nakuru National Park, Finch Hattons and Voyager Ziwani in Tsavo East, Ol Tukai Lodge in Amboseli. Haha is that too much to ask? ☺️☺️😋
Jambo Dave and Tracy wow nice video Dave the fish eagle was so nice from fae away he c the fish I love it and the zebra near you and giraffe the place it's very romantic with the rain you get good sleep 🌷🇰🇪❤🇨🇦
Hi guys, good job. Just a sidenote, some of us watch your videos from smart Tvs...we're not able to access the comment section for the rates. Would appreciate if you also just said out the rates on the vid. Thank you!
Noted, I'll try to say at least what we've paid. I just don't want to go through resident, non-resident, high and low season. Thats why I lut more info in the description.
Joy Adamson used to live at Elsamere. George Adamson - aka "Father of the Lions" was her husband. Both cared deeply about wildlife and were famous worldwide. Joy wrote the book "Born Free." It was a sad day for all of us when George was killed by bandits at his home in Kora.
As a fellow Canadian, i have to ask - how did it feel moving to Kenya during a pandemic and not being familiar with the healthcare system there? Considering we're a little spoilt here with our universal healthcare and everyones got a family doctor and 911 on speed dial. Also, considering a new environment means you're susceptible to new things.
we haven't had to go to clinics/hospitals yet but there are quite a few around us and most are easily available to walk in. We are definitely susceptible to different stomach "bugs" here and have experienced it when we first arrived but as I (Tracey) have a background in health care so we came prepared, stayed hydrated and took antibiotics if necessary. It is still all worth it! :)
Awesome video as always and those eagle shots grabbing bites from the water were excuisite. It would have been even better if the rains kept away! Hahaha....
I really really enjoyed this video coz // Its 1 hr drive from where i grew up. so am pretty familiar with the area. Iam the outdoor person. // The rift valley is pretty fun especially now its dry, extending all the way from Lake Naivasha, Lake Elementaita, Lake Nakuru, Lake Baringo, Lake Bogoria..so much for you to enjoy.. // I got to learn about crescent island being the movie Shooting site for OUT OF AFRICA.i felt you should have featured more about the Island..coz the movie was HUGE globally ..almost like TITANIC.
Someone here has just mentioned the word WITCH,are you aware what has come out of my mind?Have you ever watched THE THREE WITCHES MOVIE ?hahaha that was just a joke ,anyway you guys are cool ,i just want to ask you a question coz my girlfriend and I cant get along that way ,she is very sturbon lol ,you seem to be living very happy life ,I need some tips
Next time you are in Naivasha you should check out Hell’s Gate. Mountain biking, rock climbing, amazing hike through a gorge and you’ll catch great views of buffalo herds.
@Dave,here's a challenge for you...You mentioned there are different types of zebras How bout learning the different types, their distinguishing them and spotting them and ticking off our virtual list
🚵🏼♀️ Check out our previous adventure! ua-cam.com/video/QkFmpkkEoy8/v-deo.html
Nowonder Mombasa county is loosing both local and international tourist to Nakuru county.
As i said before: Kenya is the best country in Africa to visit. People are friendly,humble and it is nice to visit all those nice places.
yes they are!
Someone Tell The minister of tourism that.. Dave and Tracey are our unofficial Ambassador.. Honestly You guys are doing A great job... Keep it up

thanks for sharing so much about lake naivasha.👌👍
thank you so much for the info :)
Actually the bald eagle is on average a little bigger than the fish eagle but smaller than Africa’s largest eagle the martial.
We Kenyans are learning of somethings in our own country that we didn't know of!
@marc bally i have learnt something have been there couple of times but didnt know wat uve shared thanks n im kenyan
Surely these adventures will strengthen your marriage. I wish i could do this with the love of my life. It would be epic and you'll create memories that will stay with you for the rest of your lives.
That is the reason why we are vlogging! Ao one day we can look back in those memories. ❤️👌🏼
Thank you Dave and Tracey for consistent efforts of showing the beauty of my country to the world. For a long long time we have suffered from people who come to Kenya with aim of showing how poor we are - which is not true at all.

We need to watch the movie

Also, considering a new environment means you're susceptible to new things.
Lol
You can have the doctor on speed dial and good healthcare here too
It basically boils down to about who or what one can afford
We have the best docters confirm from your government.
Good question .. Kenyans answers without bile please .. objectively. See you later 😽
We live by prayers
we haven't had to go to clinics/hospitals yet but there are quite a few around us and most are easily available to walk in. We are definitely susceptible to different stomach "bugs" here and have experienced it when we first arrived but as I (Tracey) have a background in health care so we came prepared, stayed hydrated and took antibiotics if necessary.

Lake Naivasha Sopa Lodge is always a hit.
id say!
Awesome video as always and those eagle shots grabbing bites from the water were excuisite. It would have been even better if the rains kept away! Hahaha....
