  • I leave Kenya's capital Nairobi, switching the city for the Savannah. I take the epic journey to the Maasai Mara, the world famous wildlife reserve. I get my first ever taste of safari life by taking an afternoon drive shortly after arriving.

    I'm Jason, a full-time British Travel Vlogger and CZcamsr who's been to 52 countries. I've been travelling around the world full-time since 2017. So far, my trips have taken me to Asia, Africa, Europe, the Middle East and the Americas.
    I have travel series' from many of the world's best (and least) known travel destinations. I filmed the first vlogs on my channel in the summer of 2016 after spending a year living in China. A proper solo trip around Eastern Europe followed after graduating from University in the summer of 2017, taking me to Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, North Macedonia and Kosovo. This trip marked the start of my efforts to make a CZcams full-time job.
    After that European trip I went heavily into exploring Asia, visiting India, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Pakistan, the Philippines, South Korea and Kazakhstan (seeing me cover a lot of Far East and Southeast Asia in particular).
    I have also travelled to North Africa and the Middle East fairly extensively over the last five years, filming videos in Turkey, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Iraq, Jordan, Israel and Palestine.
    To date, I have not yet been to Australasia or South America. Though I am hoping to visit the latter sometime in 2022, along with a first stop in the Caribbean.
    I've travelled to North America just once as a CZcamsr, visiting Mexico in 2021. Though I have been to both the USA and Canada, this was only as a child on family holidays.
    I have just begun my first trip to Sub Saharan Africa in 2022, starting in Kenya.

      I was surprised to see how white people have peacefully settled in Nanyuki when I visited the town. It has a lot of potential to even rival Nakuru if the local government steps up.

    Thank you for the wonderful report. I live in Tokyo and visited Maasai Mara 16 years ago. I am relieved that nature and animals look the same as they did at that time. I look forward to your wonderful trip, video and reports.

    It’s not often that I feel emotionally moved by a travel video- but there’s something about the way you capture everything around you… I feel like I absolutely must make my way to Kenya. Absolutely loving your videos as a new subscriber! You’re knowledgable, kind, and calm, and you never seem to prioritize “getting the shot” over respecting the people around you.
    Also- thank you for showing kindness to those kids at the rest stop. They absolutely lit up when you greeted them!

    Brought back some great memories for me too. Ah those bumpy roads and the thrill of seeing the wildlife so close. Just fabulous. You did see a lot on your first afternoon. Can highly recommend you visit Amboseli and Mombasa beach area. One thing I still do today from my trip to Kenya is to have a sliver of stick cinnamon in my black tea. Many thanks once again for all your videos. Cheers from Australia

    I jhave enjoyed following your vlogs over past few years, Jason. I'm also a travel addict - but mainly wildlife focussed. Great to see you finally heading into my favoutite place on Earth -sub-saharan Africa. (If you want a recommendation - continue into Uganda for the chimpanzees at Kibale Nationla Park - oh my gosh - , and then the gorillas in either Uganda or Rwanda (we did gorilla trip in Rwanda). You are so close by....

    Thanks, Jason, for your great first day video of the Maasai Mara. Kenya was the first country in Africa that I visited, Your video brings back sweet memories of my first sighting of the Great Rift Valley, Initially, our guide had to point our sightings of giraffes because they were so perfectly camouflaged in the landscape. Your video capture of the African wildlife is so sharp. Are you still using your M50 on a gimbal with a 15-45 lens? Or are you using a zoom lens on this safari? Either way, I’m looking forward to the next episode. Best, Sylvia

  • @williamc9703
    @williamc9703 Před 2 lety +2

    Hi Jason, I came across your safari vid by chance. It's really well done and captured the essence of what a quintessential safari ought to look like. I was also struck by the beauty of Kenya that you showed in your other videos. The locals seemed so friendly and the poverty that's so often portrayed in the media was not so apparent. Thank you for showing those positive attributes of Kenya.

    Hi Jason ..I have meticulously observed one thing in your vlogs..you tend to like empty alone places with not much visitors...take for example your visit to Cappadocia where you loved vlogging in a solitary environment...same goes for your visit to Egypt ...as well as your visit to Citadel in Amman where you were all alone...then your visit to Rome where you were all alone...I think you thrive more in lonesome places... nothing wrong in it but just an observation...I like you as a person...cool and calm

    Brazy that most Kenyans have lived in this country all their lives and have never been to places like The Maasai Mara. I've been here for 24 and I've never been, hopefully we do that soon In Sha Allah.
