- In this exciting video, join me on my budget safari adventure in Kenya, where I discovered an affordable way to witness the Big Five animals in Masai Mara National Park, and almost caught a glimpse of the migration. The Masai Mara is renowned for its breathtaking landscapes and diverse wildlife, offering an unrivaled opportunity to observe these magnificent creatures up close. Lions, elephants, buffalos, leopards, and rhinos roam these vast savannahs, creating unforgettable moments and lasting memories.
But this adventure goes beyond wildlife encounters. After an awe-inspiring safari experience, I set my sights on the captivating Lamu town, a place where time stands still and Swahili traditions thrive. Stepping into Lamu Town feels like stepping into another world. Its narrow streets, adorned with intricately carved doors, lead to bustling markets filled with vibrant colors and the aromas of exotic spices. Immerse yourself in the rich cultural heritage as you explore the historical sites, visit local artisans, and indulge in the flavors of Swahili cuisine.
No journey to Lamu is complete without a visit to Manda Island, a true hidden gem. Here, I had the privilege of witnessing the skilled coral cutters at work, marveling at their craftsmanship and dedication to preserving this natural wonder. The crystal-clear waters surrounding Manda Island provide a playground for snorkeling and diving enthusiasts, revealing a vibrant underwater world teeming with marine life.
Despite receiving advice to skip Lamu town, I am immensely glad I followed my instincts and ventured into this cultural haven. The unique experiences and interactions I had were worth every moment. In this video, I capture the essence of my journey, transporting you through the remarkable landscapes of Masai Mara, the vibrant streets of Lamu Town, and the tranquil beauty of Manda Island.
As you watch, you'll discover that a budget safari in Kenya is not only a possibility but an incredible way to experience the country's wonders without breaking the bank. I'll share valuable tips on planning your own budget safari adventure, debunking the myth that safaris in Kenya are exclusively expensive. From finding affordable accommodations to choosing the best parks for wildlife sightings, I'll equip you with the knowledge to make the most of your journey.
Is it safe to travel to Kenya? Absolutely. While it's always essential to prioritize safety and be aware of your surroundings, Kenya has made significant strides in ensuring the security of its visitors. I'll provide useful insights and practical tips for a safe and enjoyable travel experience, empowering you to explore with confidence.
Join me on this unforgettable journey as we dive into the heart of Kenya's wildlife and cultural treasures. Discover the best ways to see the Big Five, including lions, elephants, buffalos, leopards, and rhinos, in Masai Mara National Park. Immerse yourself in the rich traditions of Swahili culture in Lamu town and witness the breathtaking beauty of Manda Island's coral cutters at work. This video is a testament to the wonders that await on a budget safari in Kenya.
Don't miss out on this incredible adventure! Kenya beckons with its extraordinary wildlife, diverse landscapes, and rich cultural heritage. Pack your bags, let curiosity be your guide, and let's embark on an adventure of a lifetime!"

Awesome, Zann! My favorite video of yours so far! High five for the Big Five! Looking forward to more of your adventures, Love, Molly
Hi Molly!!! Wow, really?! That’s so cool to hear. Haha “high five to the Big five”!! Love that! Can’t believe I was able to see it all . What made this your favorite? The animals?
@@ZannParker I loved how you went against others "advice" and trusted your instincts and had a great time on the safari and in Lamu. I liked the donkeys, as much as the cheetahs and lions, etc. As a kid I read the book The Cry of the Kalahari and thought it would be so cool to visit there. I get to do so in a way via your videos. Thanks!
@@MEFbeelove haha donkeys are sweet animals! Oh I’ve never even heard of that book. I hope you can visit Kalahari one day! It’s such a neat part of the world. But you have so much beauty where you are too 💚💚
Amazing Zann!!!!
Awwww thank you!!!!! Thanks for watching ❤️❤️
Beautiful scenes and narration ❤🎉🎉😊
thank you Andrew!! It was a fun trip!
Zann, this might be my favorite yet! That safari is the best, and the way I'd like to experience it. Traveling with you is just a wonderful thing. i just love every second! It makes me wish I'd lived my life a little differently!! Thank you for the wonderful, beautiful experience. I have always been interested in the Maasai tribe, so an extra thank you for that!! Wow, just incredible!!
Thank you Jane Leigh! Wow, your favorite! So cool. It was really neat to be able to see the Big Five and to be able to do it for a fraction of the price. What was your favorite animal? Yesss, the Maasai tribe was so friendly! They seem to be one of the most famous tribes- everyone seems to know about them. They are so colorful!! Thank you for traveling along with me 🥰🥰🥰
I’m still feeling the adrenaline from the safari! So cool and super informative. You do such a beautiful job sharing the world and it’s cultures with us. I can’t wait to see part 2!
You are so cute! Thank you T! The safari was so much better than I would've expected for being a budget! love you. thank you for always watching and encouraging 🥰🥰

Oh my gosh! Yessss Hiiiiii!!! I have your pretty face in one of my videos. My next video will show our boat trip 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Good job
Thank you so much for watching! ❤️
Well, I'm finally getting to write my comment...after watching bits and pieces sooo many times (so many interruptions) and finally seeing it from beginning to end. It's one of my favorite videos of your many productions......I think because it's so up close and personal with YOU! You are definitely the AFRICAN QUEEN ( just as beautiful as Katharine Hepburn) ....but I never got a glimpse of Humphrey Bogart (before your time). LOL. The safari was spectacular seeing the Big Five (I only saw four. The leopard escaped my sightings.☹) You were a great tour guide the whole trip. I would love to go again with you! I also loved the interesting facts of Lamu and the other islands......learning sooo much! I can't wait for more to come!❤
Aww thank you for pushing through and watching it! Yes, this one was a little more up close of me. I’m trying. We were sooo lucky to see all five!! - and the fact that it happened despite it being a budget. Poor little lion- with all of us crowding around him like he was in a zoo 😅. Hope we can go together one day. Thank you for the in depth comment! Love you!!
Very engaging. I felt I am traveling along with Zann.
Awww thank you so much Zaryab!! I’m trying to get myself more in the video 🤪😆😆

I like your video nice adventure but Why i feel sad when i saw the animals run when all the cars coming... eventhough they in the free world. Remind me to my pets they will run or even hugs me when strange peoples come to my house. The same feeling.
Run?
@@ZannParker in minute 2.56 of your video i means the animals run they look scare when the cars coming. Sorry about my english.
