As a photographer (me) I must say I have noticed a big improvement on your drone clips. They are now more and more cinematic and have a good speed; allowing us to see the vastness of where you are... the beauty of it all. dude! This is great improvement. You will notice that shooting a drone video away from the sun produces better videos than shooting while facing the sun... Now add a few things; show us your gear, what you pack for such trips, how you sleep in the camps, what you cook, etc etc... Good job and may God grant you the desires of your heart. Cheers!!
Since you are doing masinga dam, this is the time to cover the 7 folk dams at this time when they are spilling with water. take us to each of the 5 dams, show us the beautiful mighty spills that are happening now when there is heavy rain. Masinga is one of the dams so that's covered the rest are Kamburu is the second, Gitaru is the third, Kindaruma is the fourth and Kiambere is the last. I have seen a few video clips and the spills are amazing. Tell us the history of each dam. With drone shots this would make an epic video. Any youtuber worth their game would race to capture these dams and film the magical spills. I posted this on here because you have a series on dams from Lake Baringo to now this and thought you would make the best coverage as this one. This coverage is cinematic and makes you fill you are there on the journey as you take us through the roads and pathways closeup on how to get there.
Hey, thanks for the suggestions. Most of the hydroelectric generation points usually prohibit filming. Getting permits is usually a lengthy process. And it could cost close to 30K The best you can get is a video of the spillway from a distance. I'll visit all the dams soon. But the full features of the hydro electric processes and the dam wall + spillways will have to wait until this channel generates enough revenue to pay for the permits.
Through this video i can categorically say we've got a very beautiful and natural land such that we could be the ones feeding all arab deserted countries and other parts of the world with food if only we had visionary leaders.
I love adventure and if there is one thing that makes it worth,is getting lost and later finding yourself to your intended destination,trust me you never forget that..
@96 LOST good job. I love such drives where you get lost and still stick to the objective. I suggest you add interviews with the locals for a little spice. Regards.
Wonderful concept and video. These are some of the areas that people wonder how they would visit. Additional would add great value; for example, that Masinga Dam is the greatest man-made lake in East and Central Africa, that the Dam was built and is operated by TARDA, which would explain the sparse settlement, that the dam is intended for irrigation and power generation, etc. By coming up with this vlog, I guess you are creating awareness on the potential of this area for tourism, farming and other economic activities if the infrastructure was improved. Keep up.
So epic Adventures you're making. Cheers. Though I've a suggestion 96 lost, how about you'be spicing up your destination points maybe by having a seat and a snack, some work outs, a little chill, etc. Cheers!!!
Good point. I support. We hardly see him relax and take in the sights at his destinations. It'd also be better if he gives a sneak peek of his sleeping arrangements. Driving all through is somehow monotonous. That notwithstanding, we enjoy the videos and the unique insights into alternative destinations.
Spectacular views.. especially by the dam ... however you could have saved precious time and lots of fuel if you could have made proper use of your drone to scan the nearest viable route to the dam just like birds eye view.. Google map wont tell you of broken bridge or unused routes
Wow. masinga is so beautiful and huge. These sites should be tourists sites. Also have boat rides, fishing, water sports etc. Thank you for this you are showing us a part of Kenya many of us never seen. Also your tenacity to find the place at all cost was impressive. Inlcuding the close up shots of your driving making it feel we are part of the ride. Driving through road paths was adventurers. I am going to check out the rest of your vids plus I have subed to all your vlogs.
Ndugu, remember the photos of the Expedition RV I shared with you pale Twirra? Maze nakuombea your money becomes right so that you would own such a rig, and travel across this our beautiful Republic. I live my dream thru your videos bro. Ubarikiwe sana maze. Keep up the good work. Of all the Kenyan travel vlogs, yours is the best.
This is epic with epic shots!Been to masinga dam but never been by this route, i always get through their main gate then go up the 'crazy stairs' to get a view of the dam. No longer want to be the single independent lady, needs a travel buddy.😝 Me thinks!
Good work brother, only that the journey took a better part of the video than the actual dam exploration. Otherwise you're doing a great job, taking us to places we would otherwise never have made it to . I've always read about the dam in the books but never had an opportunity to actually set my eyes on it. Now I know. Please continue showing us around this beautiful country of our and hopefully beyond the borders 👍👍.
You are using a world renowned vehicle that is a favorite for off-roading I see them being used in Australia and the middle east the new one is so good especially with the automatic gear nice vlog
This place will always be home,,,,am proud to have got the chance to grow up here..the old good days,,,,,i must admit though i hated the place back then,,,,as as a akid i used to wonder why are we living in such a remote area.with only one bus to and from nairobi you must have seen somewhere in kwandolo it was on its way from nairobi. I never used ride in it because i did not have alot of relatives to visit in nairobi but seeing it everyday always gave me hopes of geting out of that place. And it also used to give us free rides to school on surtadays ...kikule secondary school was where i was shaped. I wish i could go back in time and enjoy the serene environment as a little village girl with nothing to worry about.
Hey bro, through your videos I live my dream life, your videos are refreshing. Every weekend, I must join in, watch it, comment and like. Keep the fire lit.
Thumbs up for the master oogway comment. Edit* Killer drone shots. Especially that dam transition. Edit 2* Just getting to the end of the video and the shots kept getting better.
The Nairobi - Thika -Kenol- Makutano - Karatina - Nyeri highway it is. Recently dualed in some section. Not a new road though. It's the gateway to Mt.Kenya region.
Explore Lodwar to Lokitang, (Ethiopia) Lodwar to Nadapal (South Sudan), and Isiolo to Moyale (Ethiopia) Etc. Not enough coverage for 2 expansive counties but better than KANU days. Hopefully more will be done across the country.
Nice. I was just near this dam back in February this year on a survey project at Kamaimba Primary School. The route to this area is an adventure itself. Haha! We also got lost along the way but thanks to the locals who were very helpful and friendly. Most routes are yet to be mapped by Google Earth which makes it more fan and challenging at the same time. That road needs works to make it more motorable in all weather. If it rains when you are there, you are very likely to spend a night against your wish.
The elephant in the room .... rhe pollution turning the water red from nearby farms ... The tourist and hospitality potential of the place 🎉 Rhe severe lack of development uko The agricultural and export potential of the place Otherwise great video 🎉
I couldn't find any camp sites. But I'm sure the locals could let you know yoy camp next to the dam. The most direct route is the one I used on my way back. Use garissa road and turn off at Ngoliba
Is there reason why there is no horticultural activities or even cattle raring I saw only one ox, what is going on here I thought it is only in Nyanza people don't do farming in spite of availability of water or they are waiting for the rain.

What a sweet view of the dam..I want to be here

And thanks for the suggestion.
And also consult them on the state of the road. They could have saved him a lot of time.
I live in Embu and I've never been to masinga dame. Great video btw.
This is amazing, county government should improve all the roads..siasa mbaya maisha mbaya
wish youjust followed the nairobi embu highway the on way to kiritiri road
Adventure needed!
God must be enjoying the views from above.
Wow this place it's so beautiful ❤️...I love how you guys were so determined and didn't give up
Yes it is. 😁 We had to get there.

Beautiful view of masinga dam beautiful view of hill
🔥🔥
You and Itchy Boots should find each other😂😂😂
Itchy boots is also my fav
😂😂😂 Goals, I watch her too.
The place you found the first bridge, that's my home town, " kwandolo", good job
Nice place 🙌
Thank you.
Easther .. How can I reach you out. I have an enquiry?
Hi 96, finally figured out the last part of your handle/name. Most of the episodes I have watched you have to get lost to find your way!!
😂😂😂Yes, I never fully plan my routes, I just pick a destination and go.
Mahn what an adventure ❤.
Those drone shots are fire too 🔥.
Kudos bro!
Thank you 🔥🔥🔥

We'll get there.🔥🔥
Slow and steady
You could have used the thika garisa road,then right turn at kanyonyoo(embu junction) , straight to kivaa then a right turn to the dam.
Yes, but I was going to that specific place, and I wanted to follow as close to the dam as possible.
Yes tana road was the shortest bt due to the Rains you couldn't make it its 27 kilometers from kitini to milaani
This is epic with epic shots!Been to masinga dam but never been by this route, i always get through their main gate then go up the 'crazy stairs' to get a view of the dam. No longer want to be the single independent lady, needs a travel buddy.😝 Me thinks!

The missing bridges are to blame 😂
My initial plan was to go all the way around the dam.
You are using a world renowned vehicle that is a favorite for off-roading I see them being used in Australia and the middle east the new one is so good especially with the automatic gear nice vlog
Thank you 🙌
Nice Adventure, I would like e such tours
Start like tour guide for locals
Awesome Video ….You should have camped there by the lake at least for one night.
I didn't carry any camping gear. Was just winging it.

My heart connects with your escapades.

Wueh...that pilot is a no go zone..thanks
Nice video,but always engage the locals.They will give u vital information
Yes they really help but we found ourselves at kindaruma dam then went back to masinga 😂😂
😂😂😂😂unapenda mushene kweli 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You must had a long day but at the end of it all the watching the sunset is was breathtaking experience.
That was splendid. Keep it up
Thank you 🙌🙌
I wish the roads were good it would be the best tourist visiting area
Yes it would be awesome
You may use Matuu Ekalakala road the easiest way to go there
Beautiful scenery
Yes it was
what are about those people surrounding by the water. they should vacate to avoid disastrous.
Homeland ndithnii🎉🎉
You have really suffered to get to my village, Kamaimba. Get in touch for the next visit.

Good though shallow information about the dam
Wow! Sasa muende mkiwa wengi mapema itabamba zaidi
😅 sawa.
Thanks.
Some familiar places from back in the days
Man what do you use to charge your equipments on this long trips cause car chargers are really slow
I have a secondary battery and an inverter.
But you can get the tiny inverter that plugs into the cigarette port. Those work as well.
mr oogway might have taught us a lesson in that whole video 😂😂
We thought that it was a straight and forward path.... And the scenery was worth it
😂😂
yes, it was amazing
Thumbs up for the master oogway comment. Edit* Killer drone shots. Especially that dam transition. Edit 2* Just getting to the end of the video and the shots kept getting better.
Thank you 😁🙌🙌
Wow, visited this place in 2017,but on a study trip on power generation.
Nice, I'll visit that other side of the dam in future.
Masinga is Lovely. Good Content
Thank you 🙌🙌
just for clarity the dam is the barrier blocking the rivers flow. The RESERVOIR is the body of water that forms behind it.
Yes.
But saying Masinga Reservoir sound weird.
@@96Lost true
Wish you knew embu town-kiritiri route, it would have been better.....any congratulations
Thanks.
I know the routes. I'm just exploring random unknown alternatives.
You are hiding too much from us , exploring is always a fun thing so show us almost every thing 🤗
Iam still here following virtually this was epic road trip
Thank you 🙌🙌
I love the car.Its quite reliable.
Yes it is
What is the exact model details?
U just earned yourself a anew subscriber
Thank you 🙌🙌
no perfect name for this guy other than LOST

Good job 96
are there any activities at the beach,,,, camping,fishing,,
Maybe fishing there were no campsites.
This is great. Good you didn't give up despite most of the routes ending up impassable.
Which type drone model are you using?
Thank you.
Dji air series.
Well noted.. thank you.
I would join in your trips buy i don't have a jalopy 😊.

Interesting how one part of this country has good tarmacked roads everywhere while the rest has just murram ones.
The Nairobi - Thika -Kenol- Makutano - Karatina - Nyeri highway it is. Recently dualed in some section. Not a new road though. It's the gateway to Mt.Kenya region.

Rhe severe lack of development uko
The agricultural and export potential of the place
Otherwise great video 🎉
It's not pollution, the soil in the area is red. And the dam has risen above it's normal levels.
You could have used garissa road
Is there a camping spot by the dam? How long to get there and which is the most direct route?
I couldn't find any camp sites.
But I'm sure the locals could let you know yoy camp next to the dam.
The most direct route is the one I used on my way back.
Use garissa road and turn off at Ngoliba
Not sure about time coz I went back and forth for a while.
The best route is Nairobi Matuu Masinga
Masinga Resort might have camping options, but remember there exists such threats as Hippos and Crocs.
Take me in one of the adventures
top notch content my bro!

Mostly just farming

Out of curiosity, how deep might this place be at position 2:29 that a boat is used?
The guy I asked said it was like a meter deep.
Wow good job
Thanks
Good work man
Thank you! 😃
You used the wrong way ,from mananja you where almost there
Is there another road to get to Kamaimba or Milaani from Mananja?
Yes kiatineni kavililia primary school then to milaani
sell that landcruiser for me apenda vile kanakula mlima bila straining

Yoooh your driving my dream car😢😢😢
🔥🔥
I don't trust google maps. You might find yourself right inside the dam
😅😂😂
Hey, I enjoy your videos, which drone and gopro do you use?
Dji air 2s drone. Got it a while back, there are newer models with better functionality.
And Gopro 11
Thanks brother
