Is This Kenya's Most Affordable Luxury Camp?

- Welcome to the incredible Hildana Lodge in the Tsavo region of Kenya. This luxurious safari lodge lies at the foot of the Taita Hills and is part of a 5,000-acre private sanctuary.
Book a stay at this beautiful safari lodge for an incredible price by contacting our friends at Ongeri Expeditions. ongeriexpeditions.com/
The lodge itself is stunning, with a lot of space to relax, a fireplace area and large pool which can be needed as this region can get fairly warm in the summer months. But the highly, is for sure the waterhole, located just a few meters in front of the main lodge. Every single time we walk by or went for a meal some elephants were there drinking and enjoying the water. In fact, we saw up to 47 of them at once during one warm afternoon.
The rooms are beautiful and comfortable with a touch of modern which we truly loved. You might even be lucky and see a few elephants without even living your bed.
Hildana Lodge is also part of a larger picture. This property is located on the largest sisal farm in the world and we highly suggest that you take a couple hours to go visit. It was very interesting and educating to see this impressive operation.

What the name of the ncs
Hildana, you have my heart! Such a great place, lucky enough to even share it with the elephants that weekend 🥰
That's my home place....beautiful and so welcoming ❤❤
Waiting for Dave's reply (assuming they don't live together 😂)
We will be back! 👍🏼❤️
Sometimes Zebras don't get enough love😄 I agree with you on that those animals are so stunning when up-close this place nice wow!
I know right!!! 😅
The sunsets are "epic-turesque". Cheers ❤🎉
For sure! :D
Ok I love how they have that beautiful ecosystem in the property its mind blowing how that arid place literally survives on its own❤
I agree! Super impressive. ❤️🇰🇪
Ur channel is very educative and learnt alot we have good places to visit in Kenya thank you guys
Glad you think so! :)
Am like, is this Kenya and am supposed to claim am Kenyan yet i didn't know this existed 😂😂.
This said, i have to give credits that you're more Kenyan than me❤
Kenya has so much to offer, it`s hard to see it all. :P
Enjoyed your video. We have enjoyed a safari last year to Kenya. Loved it.
Glad you enjoyed it :)
The pilot is so humorous 😂. He wants to start his flying career with Dave and Tracey, literally risking an entire generation 😂😂😂
He was the best! 🤣👍🏼
Hildana is such a stunning hidden gem . You guys make me jealous. Today I have learnt that the biggest sisal farm is right here in my country. ❤
It is truly an amazing place indeed! ❤️👍🏼
Thank you for telling us the price. I really appreciate it. It’s so frustrating to try to sign up and get details when all you want is the price per night. I’m trying to plan a trip to Kenya for 2024 so it really helps. Would love to meet you guys and do dinner.
Im so glad you enjoyed it! Sadly some properties don't want us to talk prices because of all the different packages.
What a incredible place... love it!
It really is!
Another great video!!
Glad you like them!
Beutiful Place, Quality Video, Quality Music. Love the music collection.
Thank you very much Nina :)
Thanks for sharing about the sisal farm. Learn something new today.. Elephants everywhere amazing. Binge watching you guys so I can catch up 💕
The elephants truly made our weekend! ❤️❤️❤️

You should!
Breathe taking, what a wonderful place❤

❤️❤️❤️
Amazing video 🔥🔥
Thanks 🔥
This is an amazing vlog, I know Ongeri Expeditions as members of a vibrant tourism association - Tour Operators Society of Kenya(TOSK) and they do a great job with hidden gems...love it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Its like I am in kenya every day , when ever I watch your videos I just start feeling at home , I was born in uganda but I live in uk , you guys are doing a good job for me because I watch your videos and its like I am in our neighbours country , but I do have a question for you guys , why dont you go to other neighbouring countries too like uganda ,tanzania and rwanda , do you only favour kenya ??? is it fair , please let us know why , but thanks for your good presentation I love it , may GOD bless and protect you guys for giving us your time and showing us all these beautiful places and SAFARI hotels and good food...
Thank you so much. We do a lot of Kenya because I actually work in Nairobi. Most of what you see is filmed during weekends since I work Monday to Friday.
With that being said, we have done lots of content in other African countries like Tanzania, South Africa, Cameroon, Sudan, Ethiopia, Mauritius, Namibia and we are actually heading tu Uganda tonight! :)
Top tier content.❤
Thanks! ❤️❤️❤️
This is a Beautiful Safari Lodge, the location is so Naturally earthy & beautiful it's giving Zen. It's definitely worth a Visit😍
Yeah! This place was incredible :)

@@DaveMani 😀👍
The Mani's never disappoint.. I always love your work 🤗
Thank you! Cheers!
really wished u said that (love word) to kenyan vloggers & fellow kenyans
Appreciating Tracy with her soothing voice,i am a Mom of two and i am sure she can do better bedtime stories than i😅
Hahaha I don't know about that... She never reads me stories... 😅
@@DaveMani😂😂😂
@@DaveMani Sawa tu😂😂
I love you guys. And your content too
Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
say that (love word) to ur fellow kenyans.. tabia ya kupretend kwa foreigners muwache!!
I love your videos. Am also suggesting that it will be even better if you show more of the dinning experience.
Noted!
We love you couples , We have learned so much about our beautiful country from you. than the Kenyan tourist board. Keep up the good work. Your family and friends must be proud of you. This couple need to be paid a salary by Tourist board. Anyway you are now Kenyan😂❤
Thank you so much! We would love to work with the tourism board one day! Haha
Be paid as WHO?! why don't u say that to ur fellow kenyans?
There should be a whole video on that farm. I wish one of our TV stations can do a show on the entire self reliant farm operations. Where do they sell their sisal to?
Absolutely
I do agree! They have quite an impressive operation there!
Nice video
Thanks
In the Building watching from Baltimore MD 😎
Cheers 😎👍🏼
i thought the wet towels when you landed were burritos, I was like WOW thats service! towels are cool, burritos is better!
That would have been EPIC!!!!!!! 🌯
Kindly Mani and your beautiful wife show us the locals who live there cos they preserved the animals❤
We have other videos about that too! ❤️
Oh men, its been so long since I opened CZcams and now I’m a couple of series behind!😢 I just watched the Namibian one and now I’m going back to the previous videos 😢
You're the best :p
You should visit inside the tsavo west on lake jipe side..they are alot of big 5
We've been. Its pretty nice.
18:08 Yes Dave, You are the queen 😂
Hahahahaha
Please team up and do something with 'Where Next Family'. They are back and we love you guys alot.
We are actually friends, we do lots together just not filmed :)
@@DaveMani Perfect
Love them?!.. who are they?!
The size of the plane reminds me of the movie the gods must be crazy, hilarious movie, I highly recommend watching it.
Awesome vid guys ❤❤
I'll have a look haha :)
Sir you are a superstar ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks :)
@@DaveMani sir you are a superstar ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ please little help sir ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Cheers
about 120$ per night per person seems not cheap to me to be honest! Did I miss something? Let's say you stay 2 to 3 nights with 2 persons it would be 480$ (2 nights) - 720$ (3 nights) - I dont know it looks all great no doubt but that price 3 days? i dont know if I would call this "cheap"
I do understand your point but we said that compared to all the other 60 something camp we have visited, this is by far the cheapest. Especially for the quality of what you get.
But it is still a lot of money. Sadly safaris are not cheap... :(
You do realise it’s not a 5star hotel right? Where the charge around $100 a night this is an exclusive 8 suite safari camp . Which u have the luxury of swimming while watching elephants almost whole day. Not over crowded pool to swim. It’s a no brainer
Also, don’t forget if you’re coming as an American or Canadian there’s a massive VAT surcharge for entering the parks.
🐘🐘🐘🐘😍
❤️❤️❤️
The plains zebra 😊
Zebras also need love! :) ❤️
It’s $123 for Kenyan residents. $304 if you’re a non-resident.
ok nice
drunk Dave singing at 18:01 😂😂😂😂😂 good vibes
Haha trust me, I don't need alcohol to sing! 🤣🤣🤣
Have you guys been white water rafting in sagana?
We did! So fun!!!
Your drone license can get you membership at the Aero Club. I guess.
Apparently yes! Haha
How much did you guys spend in CAD for flight and accomodation
Nothing cause we go there to work. But price info are in the description.
Hi Dave do you have a kenyan driving license and if so how do you get one?
Just check with NTSA.
👍
😎
🎉
:)
Should visit 5th avenue Restaurant gigiri near us embassy nairobi
Never heard if it. I'm gonna Google it.
So, Brian Chira is now a safari driver?
I guess so! Amazing dude!
is the flight included in the package
Sadly not. We highly suggest taking the SGR tho. This is how we normally go to Tsavo and we did take it back to Nairobi at the end of that weekend.
Someone should count how many times the word Elephants was said in this video
Hahaha it was a lot indeed!!!
Have you been to amboseli
Of course!
After viewing many CZcamsrs talking about Canada, i can see why Kenya would seem like paradise to you guys 😂😂😂
Canada is amazing but I don'y like the cold loll.
@DaveMani Apparently many people are leaving, they can't cope with the housing situation, health care taxes the long winters and the individualistic approach of life and the homeless
paradise because u treat foreigners well than ur fellow kenyans😕,its soo sad...
@nellykenya254 clearly you're off topic kindly read the comment again and Fyi the Bible says to treat foreigners in our borders well...
@@user-nz5dh6qq5x Okay.. the bible might say that but! do we kenyans treat each other the way we treat foreigners..No!...if u are kenyan u know the reality of life here and these people(especially white foreigners) never experience it bcs of special treatment.. the bible also says that we should treat each other equally do kenyans do that? NO...be wise.
So did you see any lions 🦁....you have a lovely 😊 wife.....have tried going to Mt. kilimanjaro ?
no lions and we climbed Kili yes.
Price?
Did you watch the video?
Is this private conservancy?
Yes it is.
@@DaveMani Waah! Imagine have been in Kenya for all this time. Never knew such place existed. Thank you for the wonderful work you are doing
Why don't these ppl go to Namibia
We did! The series starts this Saturday!
I'm from namibia and I am currently in Canada I haven't been there in a while and they are no good Namibian vlogs..so I can't wait
No Lions 😢
Rare
Why are you in such a rush 😅
HUNGRYYY! 🤣
