Blown Away in Laikipia! Plus Land Cruiser Shakedown Trip

Рет қаралды 54,066

Күн бұрын

This is a trip that we took in the first week of December 2022 when the short December rains were on and everywhere was green. It was also the Land Cruiser 80 series Shakedown (first) trip when we got to get a good feel of it.
The Pajero has served us very well. It has taken us to many epic and remote places without a fuss or drama. But it was lacking space for the 5 of us. Also we needed a tougher recovery and towing vehicle for the Mara Nomads family.
This was also about exploring Ol Pejeta and enjoying Jambo Mutara Camp, a fantastic place that's not enough well enough. Ol Pejeta is hands down the second best park in Kenya after Maasai Mara. Nowhere else will you see such wide variety of wildlife.
We hope you will enjoy the video. And thank you so much for watching our videos, liking them and subscribing to our Channel. Means the world to us.

Probably a good idea to shift up to the next gear at 2,500 rpm. Thank you again for sharing your experience🙏🏾🙏🏾

I have a question but I hope it doesn't seem intrusive, at the camp was there a feeling of expecting tips, say maybe from the attendants or guides? I've been thinking of if that were the case it might add the cost of the expeditions. 2nd, what has been your experiences in tipping during camping?

Hi guys, me I would advise you keep both of the cars. They are both good off-road vehicles. One thing is the Mitsubishi started it all, it like a part of the family. I would love to the Mitsubishi again out in the bush. Keep up the good job. How much is Jambo Mutara per night or how much is the package.

@TheMaraNomads1920MN Жыл бұрын

Well said! 🙏🏼🤝 Both are good. The Pajero is perfect for family trips and long overland trips. While the 80 will be the workhorse for the convoy to help tow and recovery any stuck vehicle since its triple locked and taller, and less loaded. Reach out to Jambo Mutara and say Mara Nomads sent you. Ours was a complimentary trip to show us what they have.
