I was there just the last week it's amazing but I disagree with him on travelling by road . Roads are smooth and very safe there are many safari vehicles leaving Nairobi at the same time and there are police checkpoints at every half hour so don't worry travel by road it's amazing you'll get the most amazing views on road maasia people going for their daily lives . And it will be affordable . Do visit Kenya
There is a reason we like you to take the flight is its better for our economy but what did this guy say that our roads are not safe, which country is he from
What do you mean roads in Kenya are not safe while you flew to the Reserve? How did you know they were not safe? Please don't perpetuate misconceptions.
I just watched that and I am shocked someone would say that the roads in Kenya are not safe 😏 DW should fact check this guy. Don't come to Kenya and abuse our intelligence
9 years ago I travelled on road from Nairobi to Masai mara.. with our Gujarati indian Kenyan origin guide and the most friendly dude Robert.. safe AF.. makes no sense to fly there damn expensive
Thank you for that beautiful travel documentary of our magical country Kenya.Something l felt need correction is on our Kenyan roads...they are safe and adventurous.
Actually His Work is to Manipulate The Facts. The Man Who doesn't Respect his own Country Never Expect him that he would say True Facts. So Brother Don't Take him Serious.
Amazed to see Dhruv in my homeland Kenya, Karibu Kenya! This video is so wholesome and very well captured, very informative for anyone who wants to travel to the Mara, gives all info from A to Z. Thanks for showing this gem to the world. I was in the Mara about a month ago also.
We went to serengiti same as Masaimara and experienced jungle sufaree of Africa it was a wonderful experience. Anyway wish both of u a happy married life
Congratulations to you Dhruv and Julie now finally we can call you as group bhaiya and Dhruv bhabhi, in professionally Mr and Mrs Rathee 👍, love from Kolkata
Yes , it's safe to travel by road from Nairobi to Masai mara. Just five days back I came back from Nairobi after visiting Masai mara & Nairobi. Evening /night driving may be risky as road lights are deficient . Otherwise with road travel you come across the other side of region, some good marketting venues & eateries. Yes you save time with air travel.
What do you mean "roads in Kenya are not safe"?! How did you arrive at that conclusion and from which research source? You can't just go around spreading such false narratives. I'm offended.
Why would you say that the roads in Kenya are not safest? That right there is a wrong observation. The roads to all game reserves and parks in Kenya are 110% safe and we have not had even 1 instance of insecurity heading to these parks. Otherwise the video is very good. Here is a short video of the road to the Maasai Mara: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cwMFZqHvEIQ.html
I like DW everything and this was amazing as well. Unintentionally International media tends to get some things wrong, but this was just too easy to verify on "road safety" if they actually drove or just omit that information if he didn't know for sure.
Beautiful. But why do you always point out a negative when it does not exist. Other than the understandably all weather roads inside the Mara, the roads are pretty smooth and extremely sceneric. No case of insecurity has ever been mentioned affecting the tourists along the route. The only negative thing I can say is only a mild traffic jam in very limited areas that's soon going to be a thing of the past.
I got tired the moment he said ‘the roads in Kenya aren’t the safest ‘ that’s an insult to Kenyans and the government of Kenya 🇰🇪 for building and renovating all the the roads
As a Kenyan, I appreciate you visiting our nation. I however would like to dispute the comment that our roads are not safe,that's a wrong,misleading and unsubstantiated comment, as our roads are smooth and safe, and have been like that since time immemorial... Otherwise, we appreciate you. Thank you.
@IreneDavo what jigger victims??I know there are jigger and lice victims in India but in Kenya,i have no idea whatsoever and would be really interested to learn more about it. And roads flooding,never heard about roads to the Mara flood, even the topography of the region can not allow for floods on the roads,the only place you will experience that is inside the park and the reserves because the roads are undeveloped for the sole purpose of giving the traveler a proper safari experience, but from the park to the cities, come on.. I have been in the tours and travel industry for over a decade,so am speaking from experience
We just visited Mahali Mzuri in Maasai Mara. It was a great trip. Flew in using Safari Link out of Wilson Airport. The flight crew were professional and experienced. Our staff at the camp and guide were exceptional and very kind hearted. Great experience and fun.
I was enjoying the clip until you ruined it with the safe roads part,the journey can be long and tedious but safe other than some bad drivers. Even outside the park it’s safe as long as you use common sense,you make it seem more dangerous than it is. Mara is one of leading destinations in Africa with tourists using roads and mingling with locals.M

I am fortunate enough to have gotten the opportunity to experience a safari. I flew from Jamaica to Kenya via the US and Ethiopia. Nairobi was culturally similar to Kingston, except for the language and the fear of cameras being used in the public. Police and authority are so skittish about it and you could even have it taken away. The food is similar in many respects.I loved the roast goat at the market in town. I then travelled to the Mara by air from Wilson as I chose not to endeavor on that long road trip. Wanted to get there early so as to get in as many drives as possible before heading to the Serengeti. We landed at the Mara Serena airstrip and stayed at the Mara Serena. It was posh and high end and a beyond my expectations. I took the local bus from Nairobi to Arusha, Tanzania. The border crossing at Namanga was very eventful and seemed chaotic to me! Off to Serengeti it was for another wonderful experience and a long drive through the Ngorongoro and Central Serengeti. My only regrets were - not seeing the migration and the Rhino. It was an adventure that will live with me for the rest of my life! Thanks for reading.
Great video on Maasai Mara.As a Kenyan I am surprised that you said the roads are not safe. Next time please use the roads and you will realise what you missed and perhaps then correct the misinformation you have.
There is a reason we like you to take the flight is its better for our economy but what did this guy say that our roads are not safe, which country is he from
I don't understand where people gets this notion that Kenya isn't safe. It's probably the safest country on the continent and well above most western countries.
1:14 am sorry to say you are very misinformed, most of the visitors to Kenyan parks use roads. Some of the roads might not be of the best condition but THE ROADS ARE TOTALLY TOTALLY SAFE.
And feel free to use the roads, they are safe. But be warned of the traffic jams in Nairobi metro area, but road safety as mentioned is a false flag. Karibu Kenya
After 100s of beautiful thing he spoken people are sticking with roads only. Why is people offended by everything. He is from europe . he might find roads not safest in comparison to europe .
Come on........you guys overrate Europe for nothing .....Kenyans are reacting Because that statement hurts our tourism industry not everyone uses aeroplanes ..........almost 80% of tourists prefer road trips. Again his comment was based on hearsay since he has no experience traveling to Mara by road. You cant wake up and say something in a new country is bad without experiencing it ...that's the essence of traveling
