Searching for the Golden Monkeys of Rwanda
Rwanda is now for its silver back gorillas but did you know that they also have a very rare and endangered species of Monkey? Today, we are going deep into the Rwandan bamboo forest to find the rare golden monkeys.
Travel worry free thanks to our favorite travel medical insurance, SafetyWing: https://safetywing.com/?referenceID=davemani&utm_source=davemani&utm_medium=Ambassador
Our journey started at 4am back in Kigali where we met our guide for the day who took us from Rwanda's capital city to the Volcanoes National Park. After a two and a half hour drive up and down the mountains, we arrived to get our trekking brief from ranger Jerome. Tracey also got her first cup of Rwandan coffee which she LOVED!
From there, we drove up to a small village where our golden monkey trekking started. The first few kilometres where along a small village with a lot of curious and extremely friendly kids before finally entering the forest.
After some more trekking, we started to hear the golden monkeys before eventually seeing them all around us jumping from tree to tree and running around us on the ground. What a fun and special wildlife experience this was.
To add an extra local experience, we asked our guide to forget about the normal tourist spot he bring everyone for lunch and instead drive us to a local restaurant where we could try to authentic Rwandan food. This was the perfect way to end this experience before heading back to our hotel in Kigali.
For this day trip, we use Hermosa Life Tours and Travels.

Our 4 Day Journey to Summit Mt Kenya
Mt Kenya is the second tallest mountain on the African continent and the the tallest one in Kenya at 5,199m or 17,057ft above sea level. Even though Mount Kenya is not as tall as Mt Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, it is known to but a much more challenging climb.
Our climb started at the Narumoru Gate where we met with our amazing team from Go To Mt Kenya. After a quick but delicious lunch, it was time to start our journey to the top of the mountain which is going to take 2 and a half days up and 1 and a half day down. After about 9km, we arrived at Met station for our first night on the mountain. I have to say, we were surprised by how nice the cottages were. They had power, beds with small mattresses and even flushing toilets. We slept just fine!
Day two was a bit more challenging as gained a lot of elevation. 11km later, we arrived at our camp for the night which once again had beds and power in addition to a stunning view of the peak of Mt Kenya.
The summit day started extremely early with a 2am wake up and a 2:30am hiking start. It was dark, cold and windy but we kept putting one feet in from of the other slowly but surely and we were able to make it to the top of Point Lenana known as the hiker's peak at 4,985m above sea level just in time for sun rise. It was quite emotional as we knew this was the conclusion of 4 years living in Kenya but also the beginning of a new adventure.
Finally, after just a few minutes at the top of Mt Kenya, it was time to start making our way down for breakfast. We were so hungry at that point that we ate it all in just a few minutes. Lots of calories that were about to be used in our 6 hours journey down to Old Moses Camp where we spent our last night inside the Mt Kenya National Park.
Overall an amazing experience which we would highly recommend to any nature lover and if you want a great team to do it with, check out Go To Mt Kenya. Our package included a porter team, head guide, mountain cottage fees, national park fees and three meals a day meaning that you simply need to show up with your hiking kit.

Rwanda's Most Famous Hotel
After some more food, Rwandan coffee and even milk in addition to a visit to the Kimironko Market, it was time to head back to our hotel, the famous Radisson Blu Hotel & Convention Centre Kigali. With its unique architecture, this is also the most famous building in the country. The hotel itself is very modern looking with a nice "high end" feel. Our room was comfortable and the breakfast buffet delicious. This is a great place to stay when in Kigali that's for sure!

Let's Explore Africa Cleanest & Safest City
Welcome to Rwanda's capital city, Kigali. This incredible metropole is know to be the cleanest and safest city in whole of Africa and after spending a few days there, we tend to agree with that statement!
A big thank you to our friends at Jollof'Appรฉtit and Living in Kigali who helped us organize this fantastic food and city tour of Kigali. From its history to its culture and food and truly saw and experienced a lot of Rwanda in one day.
https://www.jollofappetit.com/
https://livinginkigali.com/
As every visit to Rwanda should start, we went to the Kigali Genocide Memorial which was emotional to say the least but it is truly an event that cannot be forgotten as remembering it a way to make sure it never happens again.
From there, we went deep into the city of Kigali and started our exploration with food! One things that really stood our is the fact that Rwandan truly do not use a lot of oil in their food. Except for chilly oil of course... Spicy!
Walking around their two car free zones was also very refreshing as not many city around the world have these kind of places and even less on the African continent. This is one of many example showing how Rwanda is a leader.
After 4 years in Africa we also finally went on a moto ride also known as boda boda in other countries. The motos in Rwanda are as safe as it gets with proper driving and helmets.

I left Russia 2 years ago, and since then Russia has been heavily trying to rebrand itself as a bastion of conservative and traditional values. A lot of delulu Z Westerners move to Russia because they think Putin's Russia is a more free and less WOKE country compared to the West. I've already made fun of these Z Westerners promoting Russia before, but now all of this is getting to a new level. Putin has just signed a new law, according to which Westerners who feel oppressed by the LIBERAL WOKE AGENDA will be allowed to easily move to Russia and get a residency. So what is going on? Why is Russia inviting foreigners to the country? Let's talk about it. Smash like and sub for more thx xoxo

Perfect Weekend in Halifax Nova Scotia by LOCALS

Welcome to beautiful Halifax, Nova Scotia. A true Canadian town located in the on the East Coast of the country, also known as the Maritimes. With its friendly locals, beautiful waterfront and many restaurants and attractions, you will never be bored in Halifax.
Our perfect weekend in Halifax starts at a very fun place called Halimac. A great place to have a drink and use some extra energy you might have before going back to your hotel and relax for the night. But before settling for the night, we visited the best restaurant in Halifax according to reviews which is the Bicycle Thief. We have been there many times and it is always a true delight.
Talking about hotel, he stayed at one of our favorite hotel in Halifax which is The Sutton Place. This hotel was built just a few years back and is everything you can expect from a five star hotel. As you can see in our vlog, the room we stayed at was spacious, modern and had an amazing view of downtown Halifax. The hotel itself couldn't be better located either.
Since a stay in Halifax is nothing without going on the water well, we did it twice! Thanks to our friends at Ambassatours Grayline we boarded the world famous Halifax Harbour Hopper, a green amphibious vehicle taking you around town on land and in the water for the perfect Halifax city tour. And later one that day we went on the Tallship Silva for a breathtaking sunset cruise on the Halifax Harbour up and around Georges Island.

Lastly, do not miss the Halifax Waterfront located along the harbour in downtown Halifax. During the summer season, this boardwalk has so much to offer from local shops to restaurant, patios and all kinds of fun activities.

Kenya's Largest Beach Villa
Because Watamu is our favorite location on the Kenyan Coast, this is where we decided to take our family who came all the way from Canada to relax a little and enjoy some beach time after their safari adventure!
But of course, we couldn't bring them to some random beach resort! We took them to Watamu's best beach villa. Welcome to Zuri by Tribalsand. This luxury beach villa has 6 bedrooms and can sleep up to 14 people. It has 2 living rooms, a beautiful dinning room and more outdoor space that you could ever dream of. We had 3 kids with us and if you ask them, their favorite part was definitely the massive pool and beach access because yes, the Zuri Villa is beachfront!
Get more info about the Zuri Beach Villa here: https://tribalsand.com/zuri/
Tribalsand had a total of 3 luxury villas on the Kenyan coast and this was our second stay with them. You can watch our vlog about their My Amani property in Vipingo, Kenya here: https://youtu.be/K24-JfZ8Fro
For the family to have the full Kenyan coast experience, we also planned a few activities even though they were already more than contempt with the beach villa itself.
Up first, we took them for the best pizza of their life at Sunset Beach Restaurant. This place crafts authentic Italian pizzas and there are not other place like it. Yes, we have been to Italy and had pizza there but we stand by what we say when we state that Sunset Beach Watamu has the best pizza in the world.
Watch our full review of Sunset beach here: https://youtu.be/5uSnmnq-lj4
And because a trip to the Kenyan Coast wouldn't be complete with a day at the, we took the family onboard our favorite dhow called Pepo Huru. It all started with dolphin sighting before heading to a private beach and ending the morning with some snorkeling where I saw my first stingray in Kenya. From there, we headed for lunch at Rock and Sea where we had some delicious handmade pasta and seafood before going back on the Pepo Huru dhow for a beautiful sunset cruise on Mida Creek. Literally the perfect day in Watamu, Kenya.
