Have you guys had malaria? My family and I are coming to Watamu in July from Ireland and are worried about it. We are going to take pills and other precautions but I am wondering if you have any tips/information?
No we have never had Malaria, and we lived in Kenya for 2 years, as well as visited many times before that. We never took Malaria tablets, and most long term residents also do not take them. I'm not advising you NOT to take the tablets by any means, but typically the danger with Malaria comes when people don't have access to health care.
I think whether you take the tablets or not the main thing is just prevention of Mosquito bites. Have a Fan blowing on you at night so they can't land, and wear repellent when you go out in the evening for dinner. They are only really a problem early in the morning and during sunset hours
I've been to Kenya and Tanzania some years ago (including Mto wa Mbu), and I really want to come back. I've been watching all your videos and they are properly inspiring me to go back. Your videos are great, really well made and you show all the aspects of travel, which is nice. Now, if you wouldn't mind a constructive criticism, the only thing I really dislike on your videos is the soundtrack. That electronic/house/techno music, I don't know the name of this style, but is really annoying and offputting, and doesn't go well at all with the vibe of the videos, which is travel, nature, family etc. I hope I didn't come out as rude, not my intention. greetings from Brazil
Thanks. Yes I totally understand your criticism. Music is the hardest thing for us as it has to be copyright free in order for us to use it. I actually agree with you 🤣 and am trying to find some new music
I am watching your vlog and I must say that Tanzania is very expensive to tour. No wonder most local African people rarely visit the country for tours and safaris. Personality i would rather move around Kenya and Uganda because you can see a lot and affordable. I was even surprused by the price for that Masaai pair of tyre shoes. WAO! in kenya it only costs about 5 US Dollars and you can even get ot cheaper . While in Tanzania its USD 45. Thats insane
It’s true that it’s very expensive, but also consider that for a foreigner Kenya can also be pretty expensive when it comes to park fees etc. With the Maasai shoes I feel like he was giving me a very inflated price because we are tourists and don’t know any better 😉
Thanks for show casing africa to the world . Hoping in seeing you soon into 🇺🇬 uganda with its beauty and hospitable people

Did you and you little one have the yellow fever vaccine before travelling?
If travelling from Kenya, you do need Yellow fever vaccine to enter Tanzania, however not if you're travelling from a non-yellow fever country
