Picture this: leaving the city at 4AM, wildlife by noon, a campfire by evening, and waking up to summit a mountain under a sky full of stars π
That's exactly what we're doing 23β24 May at Mt Ololokwe & Buffalo Springs, Northern Kenya ποΈπ
Steal the itinerary. Or better β join a group trip to Mt Elgon happening 30 May β 1 June ποΈ Everything is sorted, you just show up and hike. Drop a π or DM me to get details and secure your spot!
The landscape honestly reminded me of Mt Kenya and parts of the Aberdares. Big, dramatic, and beautiful in a way that makes the early wake-up absolutely worth it ποΈ
β¨ Day 1 β game drive at Buffalo Springs, swim stop, then camp at Ololokwe base with a bonfire dinner
β¨ Day 2 β 3:30AM hike to catch sunrise at the summit, brunch, and home by evening
A list of Restaurants in Nanyuki worth a try.

1. Jibs Cafe Bistro- Their lamb chops are π. I always come back specifically for that served with mashed potatoes, mixed veggies and mushroom sauce.
Unknown to many of you, before Mansa Plus, I was (feels weird saying I was, I still Iβm) a musician. @raysmanifests was my music manager! We gave it our all! But guess what, it didnβt work out! Put in a lot of money, recording music, making videos, pushing the songs, but the result was next to zero. On my music YouTube Channel I have under 1400 subscribers!
@willyskihumba has had his days as a musician and a Dj, but I will let him tell his story!
To an outsider, that looks like failure, and for sure it is failure! However, it was that experience that we used to build Mansa Plus, or rather prepped us to handle what was coming.
When we were busy begging people to subscribe and watch our content, it didnβt feel weird because we had been doing it throughout our music days.
When we tried to work with certain people and they shut doors on us, we were in familiar territory. When we went months without pay but showed up everyday, that was the norm in our music days!
When some people made fun of me and my accent, come on, we were already used to it!
And when it came down to work, I was already used to being in front of the cameraβ¦ I guess as Jay says, itβs not failure itβs a lesson.
Iβm very proud of what we are doing in this space, and Iβm even more proud of every moment that has read us here! It really is in the journey and who you journey with. Luckily, I get to do this with two good friends who are super humans when it comes to their jobs!
To all my friends, family and people that I donβt even know who watch our content, and buy our services, know that Iβm super grateful. Thank you for making this moment possible!
#MansaPlus to the World
Chasing Thuci Waterfall in Irangi Forest, Embu County; A 22 Kms trail with gentle inclines and lots of flat sections. The pool is huge and surrounded by this gorgeous jungle.
Itβs a 4hrs drive so leave Nairobi by 5. Our rangers John and Julius were amazing! Highly recommend π
