    What of the North?

    We've all seen the images. Heartbreaking moments captured by international reporters of children so starved, clutching to their parents so desperately. A thirsty land, quenched by neither water nor blood, but seemingly cursed by famine and war. Northern Kenya. How much of her plight is borne of nature and how much more of it is manufactured by man is subject to debate. What is of importance is that we choose to not be ignorant of the reality that exists.

    Chimpanzee Sanctuary - Ol Pejeta

    Nestled at the heart of Ol Pejeta, the Chimpanzee Sanctuary offers guests a chance to interact & learn about our evolutionary cousins. Chimpanzees are great apes and not monkeys. What's the difference? Apes do not have tails, whereas monkeys do. Where do the Chimps come from? Chimpanzees are indigenous to Sub-Sahara Africa, moreso West Africa and the Congo. The Chimps at Ol Pejeta have been rescued from these regions, having experienced inhumane treatment. Often hunted and ki

    Exploring Samburu with Faith Kanja

    Introduction The Great North has been on our bucket list for a long time now. As with every great challenge, to conquer it requires patience, particular planning & a systematic approach. We decided to start off with Samburu National Reserve. Famous for its indigenous fauna, Samburu National Reserve has gained publicity of late for more than just its attractive wildlife. Clashes spilling over from Laikipia between rival tribes have befallen Samburu of late & this was on our mi

    Methalis Unravelled w/ Selina Onyando

    Methali - Swahili sayings often used to state a piece of advice or a statement of truth. i.e Swahili proverbs Methalis were told by elders/parents to offer advice to those who found themselves in need of guidance. They are known to be applicable over a wide spectrum. Ultimately, though experiences between people may differ, life lessons gained tend to remain the same. We are always moving. Our lives are a journey. Life is always in transition and change is inevitable. Change

    Introduction We would like to take this opportunity to appreciate all of you who showed us your love and support by voting for us in the recently concluded BAKE Awards. We do not take your support for granted and are eternally grateful. Thank You! Our mission for April was Lake Ellis. Seated on the slopes of Mt. Kenya at an altitude of 3500m above sea level, this icy and misty lake serves as an ecosystem for diverse species of fish, predominantly trout. Existing in different

    Gogo Hummingbird

    Projects with Imelda 'Gogo Hummingbird' are intense. Where her creativity is given free reign to coordinate, direct and execute boundaries are pushed and there is a sense of excitement. The movement of the subjects in her portraits will often be coordinated and symmetrical. Every single detail is accounted for down to the clothing, accessories and the color palette. What this results in is an impeccable and intense visual simulation of her ability to invent & re-invent. Her a

    I rekindled my love for travel during my first Sanaa trip to Nanyuki. I had missed being away from the city, having space to create and being surrounded by people who appreciate and understand all forms of art. This trip was an eye opener for me, met lots of beautiful people and interacted with beautiful places. I wish I shot more images, but I also feel that the time I took off shooting to absorb the beauty that was around us was necessary. The images I made during this trip

    Homegrown Fabric

    A brief insight in to locally made clothing and local designers. What makes an item of clothing authentically Kenyan? Should the hem of a t-shirt have a cut of kitenge to be considered local? Or a dress to be made entirely of the colorful and patterned fabric? The simple answer is any piece of clothing designed and made by a Kenyan makes it authentically Kenyan. Fashion is an art and that gives it the quality of being unbound by what people think it should be. Though there ar

    Dar es Salaam: Part 2

    Investigations Having reported the matter immediately to Wazo Hill Police Station, a Chief Inspector took on our case and investigations begun. We went back to the beach with the Inspector who went on to arrest two guards including the main guard. They were then taken back to the station for interrogation. In Tanzania you hear the word ‘bana’ quite frequently. Used loosely, it can be used to fit the context of the conversation. In our case, we heard it being used by the polic

    Dar es Salaam: Part 1

    The heat was becoming uncomfortable. It was 8.30 in the morning and the police station had just been opened. This was our first morning in Dar-es-Salaam. People began filing in to the dusty compound towards the solitary block to be attended to. There was a protocol one had to follow. You state your reason of entry at the barrier to the officer on guard and he will determine whether it’s good enough to earn you entry. He will also determine whether your clothing is appropriate

    Dar Cuisine

    It has been said that the art of cuisine, when fully mastered, is the one human capability of which only good things can be said. To us, cuisine defines not just the food that is served but the manner and culture that surrounds the dish. Influenced often-times by the environment, cuisine draws in the energy of a people and is the anchor of many a social interactions. We decided to take on Tanzania as the first of a series of East African Wanderlust Series and specifically the

    The Journey We decided to begin this year’s adventures with a camping expedition to Ngare Ndare. Despite a few hitches in leaving Nairobi we were soon on the open road headed to Timau. Now, one thing worth noting is technology is not always right! Entrusting your directions to Google Maps could get you out of a fix or in the middle of a fork road at 8.30 p.m in a pitch black area with the automated voice telling you, ‘You have arrived at your destination’. Once rescued one ca

    To be filled with an indescribable will to live out your purpose and pursue that which fills you with joy is a beautiful thing. It is made even more wondrous when this will is acted upon and this passion ceases to be a spark from within and becomes a flame without. We spent a weekend with John Kadivane. A young and aspiring rally driver who decided to tell his story by the dust clouds he formed with every changing gear. Here is how we captured it. #sanaastory #rally #kenya #n
