I must say, I did not expect to see Jacaranda trees that far north. Those purple-coloured trees at 9: 59 in the video.
Originally from South America the first trees were planted in Pretoria, South Africa in 1888. Today they number in the thousands in Pretoria and Johannesburg. That is why Pretoria is also referred to as Jacaranda City! Now I see them in Kenya as well! Amazing! Wonder how they got there? The best time to see them is in October after the first summer rain. The tree will only bloom a week after the first summer rain and then the flowers will stay on until November, sometimes December before falling off turning the tree back to green.

LOVE your Videos Jeb!
I highly Recommend that you Try Coastal Aviation in Tanzania. They Have the Pilatus PC12 and the Cessna Grand Caravan. There are Way Better than Airkenya. I recommend You Flying from Dar Es Salaam. Fanjove Private Island, Rubondo Island, Arusha, Seronera Airstrip. If you Can When you are In The Lake Victoria Area, Try Out Rocky Bay Hotel, A Great Retreat at Africa's Biggest Lake. I also Recommend An Airport Review with Mwanza Airport, Kilimanjaro Airport, Zanzibar Airport and Dar Es Salaam Airport with its 3 Different Terminals. Tanzanian Aviation has lots to offer.

Hey! I have some new airlines I think you should try out! The first one is Avelo Airlines which has a few destinations off the east coast, but their main hub is Burbank Airport, they fly 737's and fly to smaller airports, and not only that they are a budget airline. I think it's an interesting experience. Also, a new somewhat budget airline is Aha! Airlines or ExpressJet the only flight I know of is FAT-RNO and RNO-FAT there's gotta be more but I thought you try them and review them!

Excellent! Really enjoyed watching that, a beautiful part of the world I know very well. just 2 suggestions given that only the US works in Imperial weights why not give weights in Metric so the rest of the world has an idea what your talking about? 2nd if there is no lounge for example and none is expected why not score it as N/A?

In the case Arlene 80s one living South of Houston would take a commuter flight to IAH to fly anywhere. They flew De Havalian Twin Otters. Old not so good experience was returning home with an ear infection. My stomach didnt appreciate the rocking to and frow. Yep I got sick and had to use an air sickness bag. Oh the memories of air travel.

I was lucky that I got a chance to take a 2 day safari back in the 80s. I was serving in the navy and we pulled into Mombasa, Kenya. I didn't have to fly anywhere. We took a bus then a tourist jeep. Stayed in a bungalow and was met the next morning by a giraffe wondering through the camp.

Great collection of Canadian made aircraft made in my hometown Toronto. The Dash 7 - Dash 8 and the ICONIC Twin Otter. All powered by Pratt & Whitney CANADA! I hope De Havilland Canada can continue to make aircraft - if not in Toronto hopefully somewhere in Canada. Thank you for the video

Beautiful video, Jeb. You're making one of the highest quality videos I enjoy, and i don't mean from aviation only. PD, you should also share the watch you're wearing on your video with a little bit more detail, you have a beautiful and interesting collection.

Victor

Jeb doesn't have to introduce artificial drama to make a great video, check; Jeb proves a video does not have to be long to be very enjoyable and educational, check; Jeb adds another journey to my bucket, double check. Looks like Jeb gets a perfect score in my book.

Though I never flew Air Kenya, I did have the privilege of taking safaris three years in a row and the Masai Mara was part of my first safari. I will never forget my experience in taking those safaris and I thank you for rekindling those wonderful memories!

Jeb superb vlog
But man why the serious voice on camera? Smiles all around but you seem to be giving a seminar
Mara videography was superb Jeb
Maybe its time the creative director started narrating from time to time for her perspective?

I flew with AirKenya to the Maasai Mara around 1991 on a DC-3 that flew in the Berlin Airlift. And to Lamu on a DASH-7. Seeing the Terminal at Wilson brought back a flood of memories. It hasn't changed much since the 90s

If air Kenya doesnt have a lounge, then shouldnt the score be out of 20 with the lounge being an N/A. 16/20 is a good score then. And it sounds like it was a good to great experience. Glad yall enjoyed it!

In 2018 I worked in northern Queensland as a project manager visiting remote communities. This involved Dash 8s and Cesna Caravans which were single engined 9 passenger planes. Such fun.

Went to Kenya years ago, and the best part was flying planes like these. Going to different safaris around Kenya and Rwanda ( gorilla. And then finally a short flight to Zanzibar.

I flew in boat planes 3 times when we used to go fishing in Great Bear Lake in Canada. We fly into Yellowknife and then get a lift to the marina for our flight to the lake. Awesome!

Excellent video Jeb! You've inspired us to start planning our own safari for or family. Is there a travel agent or tour operator you'd recommend to book through?

OMG a De Havilland dash 7 I love those, the first of the STOL aircraft.
Okay not the first but the one that always caught my eye, that and the BAE/RV146.

Great vlog as always! I love flying on these older gen turbos. I think it was a F-50 on the side there, and it is at least 10 yrs younger than the DHC-7.

If you hadnt had the time constraints, would you have preferred to drive to the reserve in order to experience more of the land, people, and culture?

DeHavilland Canada exists again and they now have all the type certificates for OOP aircraft. They have even re-introduced production of the DHC-6.
