My bad it seemed like you're near Aberdare Park/Tree Top. I recall you visiting there a while ago. You're on the ground and so right. The place squarely lies within Mt. Kenya. 👏
Kenya has all the climatic conditions. From the beaches on the African eastern coast of diani, the hot desert climate in chalbi, the cold desert climate on the snow of mt Kenya, Savannah, tropical forests, moorland, bamboo zones and all. Where else in the world complete with the line of equator cutting through the middle of the country ?
Speaking of Queen Elizabeth, she did ascend to the throne while she was at Treetops lodge,in Nyeri(not sure if at the Aberdares or Mt Kenya park) Check out Treetops lodge.
Awww, the dogs love you! So sweet. It does look like an amazing place.......like the rain forest! So many trees.....and it looks so relaxing. Thanks for sharing!
Nice and chilled out spot. Accommodation was definitely overpriced for the amenities. Yes, there are parts of Kenya that are negative 0 temps, especially in the night. These are mainly the parts of Kenya that were classified as the "White Highlands" during the colonial/settler times and they tend to have cold temperatures.
there is a new place where 99.9% of Kenyans don't know about .The place is called iria maina caves and fall in bomet you can make a beautiful adventure there but if you want to go there make sure you carry a raincoat
Wow! -1 degrees? Didn't know that. I thought that only occurs on the tops of mountains in Kenya. The fact that that kind of temperature is kind of warm for Canadians interests me. I would like to visit Canada some day during winter. The cold must be bitterly sweet.
My home area this (Kirinyaga). I always visit this place whenever I am home, absolutely therapeutic. My first visit to the Castle was in 1996 when I was 10 years old...
@@DaveMani It is. I grew up there and although I live in Nairobi now, I always create time to go up there and unwind whenever I travel home. My daughter loves it there especially playing with the horses and the dogs! 💯😆
Amazing environment, but for 160USD a night I think it should have better facilities at least. Instant hot shower at minimum, and a bit more maintenance, the spaces looked a bit unclean and old. Otherwise as you said it would be overpriced.
You guys are so lenient with your rating of the place.. Such a cold place one needs a nice hot shower with good water pressure. The bathroom does not look that clean?? The food looks good though..
This looks like it would be a great experience of life in the years past. Great potential for that unique experience. They could also include a mini museum telling it's history and that of the area. It reminds me of my grandparents homestead back in the day.
You guys are wonderful. Thank for selling our country to the world. You are our best Ambassadors. Keep it up. Kirinyaga County, please upgrade the place (make it accessible, improve the rooms and the outside) it is a beautiful place to be.
@@DaveMani i’m slacking today! it’s unacceptable. (it’s only because i got tied up at work) don’t these customers know i have important things to do!!! LOL
@@lifehacks1019 Actually the proposal was at the Rutundu cabins on Lake Rutundu, not Lewa. The cabins if not wrong are owned by the Froome family. A former Kenya cyclist, who later raced for Britain and won several Tour de France titles is from the family.
Actually she came for a stay there as a young princess. While there she on one day went up her room a a princess and while there got the news that her dad, the then king, had died. So the joke is she went up the room as a princess and came down as a queen.
Mmmm...if am not hallucinating the queen stayed at treetops in nyeri..maybe it's the same place what do I know 🙄. .nice video guys keep warm don't catch pneumonia
Hi Guys! Love watching your videos ❤ I honestly have been very confused about entry to Kenya when it comes to the COVID 19 vaccines. I have heard different things and was just wondering if you all know if one needs to be vaccinated to travel to Kenya? The last I heard was that all you need is a negative PCR test before traveling there, but the proof of vaccination is no longer needed. Do you know if this is true? I was in Kenya in 2017 and want to go back, but need to know this information before planning my trip.

Treetop is permanently close.

I'm a big dog person :P
Yes, a little pricey but looks like a nice place to just chill. Love the nature walk. Thanks guys.
Ot was overall pretty nice and cozy! 👍🏼

Thank you for the suggestion. I'm gonna look it up.
Mt. Kenya castle in kirinyaga county. Beautiful scenery.
It sure is
perfect place
@@DaveMani
Fascinating to see you looking for your own firewood and your great altitude. You two are a joy to watch.
Glad you enjoyed it :)
I'm so glad that I saw you around the castle forest gate. I tried so hard to wave you. I was so so excited!!!!
Next time :P

Its not that warm for us either loll Canada gets really hot during summer like in the 40s but I have also seen -50 during winter.
Yayyyyy!!! My late grandpa and late grandma are from Kirinyaga, so my late dad also grew up there :) Very lush. Glad you both enjoyed your stay:)
Its a beautiful area! 🇰🇪

You are right... The price is too high for what you get!
If on a budget they do have tents ⛺ for $10

Haha we find positive in everything. This place was far from perfect bit it truly had a certain charm.
That's very true. Dave and Tracy are a wonderful couple.
This looks like it would be a great experience of life in the years past. Great potential for that unique experience. They could also include a mini museum telling it's history and that of the area. It reminds me of my grandparents homestead back in the day.
It was truly nice and cozy :)
you need to go to rondo retreat if you like the forest!
I'll look it up! 👍🏼
Life begins when one is brave enough to step out of their comfort zone. Now, Welcome to the Real Kenya, let the adventure begin.
I fully agree! 👍🏼
for me it's the green scenery and the cinematography of the video. toooo good cinematography
Thank you so so much Evans!
Thank you for another great video…makes me miss my country a lot. Dave stealing firewood lol 😂😂😂💕
You're the best. :)
Thank you for showing our home area❤️🇺🇸
My pleasure ;) 🇰🇪
On the nature front, this is probably the most scenic video of Kenya on your channel. The firewood heist and the accompanying music was epic.
Thank you so much Clifford :)
That place is absolutely stunning though i don't think i can stay there even for a minute.
Haha I can understand that.
😂😂😂
Very honest comment. No value for money
If Tracy can feel the cold, i think if i visit the place i might freeze. Not used to such weather😂😂
Haha it was quite chilly for sure.
I watched this video 😂 laughed so hard😂😂😂😂 seriously you alone ....humor💯
Thanks! 😎😎😎
She was at treetops when she got the message her dad passed and she was now queen. Historic place.
That was much later on in life. She went to this place when she was a student,
every second word dave says is just funny. Good for Tracy she has a fulltime comedian around her😂
Haha well thank you! ❤️🤣
Forests and water are my favourite. This is great. I love this.
😍😍😍
It was lovely
Guys I am losing patience
I am constantly watching your videos
You now need to release 5 videos every day 😁😊👍
Loll I can barely release 2!
One brave Canadian couple visiting Mt Kenya during the cold season. The simple life can sometimes be expensive ☺️. Peace of mind 😁.
Hehehe they are from Canada so they are used to worse
Haha it was a bit chilly even for us 🥶
You guys are wonderful. Thank for selling our country to the world. You are our best Ambassadors. Keep it up. Kirinyaga County, please upgrade the place (make it accessible, improve the rooms and the outside) it is a beautiful place to be.
That place was great but it fors need a little extra love.
That areal footage 9:22. I can imagine David Attenborough saying something about the trees and mist.
Haha That would have been very appropriate! 😅
Wow!!!that place is so magical..will always visit again and again..thanks for sharing castle forest lounge❤️✌️
It was a good time for sure :)
you know i love saturdays!! keep it up!
Haha thanks Kyle! What happened with being the first one commenting?? Haha
@@DaveMani i’m slacking today! it’s unacceptable. (it’s only because i got tied up at work) don’t these customers know i have important things to do!!! LOL
@@DaveMani also, i sent you some info on instagram regarding that defender tent stay!
A living history this is! 👍
Next try out the Lewa Conservancy (Laikipia) where Prince William proposed to Kate
We just came back form there.
@@DaveMani That's great! Looking forward to your reviews
@@lifehacks1019 Actually the proposal was at the Rutundu cabins on Lake Rutundu, not Lewa. The cabins if not wrong are owned by the Froome family. A former Kenya cyclist, who later raced for Britain and won several Tour de France titles is from the family.
You should visit anaban its around tharakanithi county but its still very cold
Thank you for the suggestion! :)
Thank you for showing the place. I come from the region. Hope you enjoying the cold ❄️🤣👍
It was our pleasure :)
13:48 This is what beautiful, authentic, life memories are made of.
Well said ❤️
So so cool
Yes :)
An outstanding video. The guide is so talented too. Thank you so much..
Our guide Joseph was amazing. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Woow you two are looking good and awesome. You are always an inspiration to me, keep going.
❤️❤️❤️
Nice tour. I have always wanted to visit that place. I now have an idea of the place now that I have watched your video.
Its worth a visit :)
You should check out Solio lodge and Solio ranch in Nyeri, close to Laikipia actually.
We've been to Solio. 👍🏼
Another lovely video 👍👍I hope that you will soon visit Kakamega forest as the biggest rainforest in Kenya.
I hope so too!
Wow looks amazing 😲
It was 😎👍🏼
Wow the diversity of climate and nature, who would of thought such extremes. Very nice guys thank you.
Thanks for watching :)
Why you never went to saudi arabia ? Go to ryiadh, jeddah, khobar, Abha. I promise you’ll love it
I not rich and I work a full time job thats why loll. I can't just travel...
@@DaveMani wish you the best, it’s just a suggestion.
ohh i have been waiting for a new video !! finally
Every Wednesdays and Saturdays! :)
Canadians can tell the difference between 2 degrees and 1 degree, amazing😃 Canada must be Winterfel
I've seen -50C in Canada so I am for sure a cold expert! loll 🥶
@@DaveMani Noooo, really? Such temperatures exists in areas inhabited by human beings?
Very nice video Dave Mani😁. Did you like the lush? You should visit Mt. Elgon National park.
It was a super nice area! :)
It surely is. Visiting such places leaves a sigh of peace and adventure in our hearts forever
good to c you guys again
Cheers :)
Wow what a beautiful place
It was :)
Defo the best looking site, the merch looks awesome
Thank you :)

Cheers
in the building watching from barbados😎😎😎 queen elizabeth ascended to power after she had been living in kenya
True but that was a little later. This visit was when she was a student,
Actually she came for a stay there as a young princess. While there she on one day went up her room a a princess and while there got the news that her dad, the then king, had died. So the joke is she went up the room as a princess and came down as a queen.
Yup, we heard that haha
Now I know where Tracy got her lovely picture 😂😻
haha
Oooh Dave, how could you walk in the dark like that?? Weren’t you guys scared 😱!😂
Haha never! 🦸♂️
You guys should try Meru National Park. It's a hidden jungle gem. The only ever green tropical park with lions.
We were there just a couple months ago. Check out the video :)
amazing
It was pretty good :)
The dog was sad knew you guys were leaving I hope you could find time to visit him I can send something for the dog present.
Those 2 dogs were the best :p
@@DaveMani I love the company of the dogs.
THE FACT I WTCH ALL VIDEOS 2 WEEKS LATER JUST MESMERIZES ME OR AMI JUST WISHING TO JOIN THE CHANNEL....🔘🏳
Welcome :)

Marketing kenya freely good job
Thanks :)
Nice vlog
Thank you 😊
That’s my village
Amazing :)
It looks haunted but it’s nice😁
Hahaha very true!
Thought so 😂😂😂
Holy shit the place got -1 damn Kenya I have never been to a Ave that low expect mount Kenya,Limuru oleguroni and maybe Kericho
Haha they get as low as -13 there apparently.
Mmmm...if am not hallucinating the queen stayed at treetops in nyeri..maybe it's the same place what do I know 🙄.
.nice video guys keep warm don't catch pneumonia
She stayed at both. This one was when she was much younger.
The Queen I guess could actually had owned the place, or her father or relative. She always visits Mt Kenya or Aberdare when she visits Kenya.
My favs ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thaaanks :)
Did you get to see where HM stayed?
Only from the outside.
I love my country,but this feel like the farm in the movies where anold dude kills everyone
Hahahaha ok ok I can see that...

You need nothing if you are vaccinated and a PCR if you are not.
Awesome! 🙂 Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. Look forward to your next adventures!
I SUGGEST YOU BE GOING LIVE OR A POST VIDEO AT TRACEY"S CHANNE OF YOUR TRAVE VOG/STATCTIN/AIRBNB SINCE YOU TRAVEL DURING THE WEEKENDS
Maybe we will :)
They should make it to be 20 dollar motel for the lacks to afford.
They also have to be profitable tho.
Do you prefer the 50°C heat of Sudan and Dubai or the -1°C in Kenya?
Thats a very good question. To be honest I prefer 50! 😅
@@DaveMani Good thing Kenya has temperatures from -1°Cs to 35°C depending on your location. But 50°C is dangerous/ fatal heat 😂
Which Camera do you guys use?
Sony a7siii
Also the Queen of Canada…
Well she is the Queen of England and Canada is part of the common wealth. Canada does not have a queen per say.
❤️❤️
Cheers ❤️❤️❤️
Look out for the elephant
Always haha
Joseph speaks bird 😅😅😅
Haha he really did! 😅😅😅

Woow you two are looking good and awesome. You are always an inspiration to me, keep going.
