    Evenings at Serena Amboseli

    It’s quarter to ten, Christmas Eve. The spirits that awaken when darkness descends were alive. Standing on the hotel porch overlooking the Great Plains of the Amboseli, I was greeted by movement. A spotted creature had weaved its way in to the hotel, moving nimbly and occasionally looking up, following the music. The hotel lounge was a veranda where the guests were all clustered and wrapped up in Maasai shukas, mesmerized. Before them were contorted bodies squeezing through r

    Kenya Bucketlist 2018

    So it's a new year and brings it a new calendar for adventure! Lucky for us there are plenty of Arts and Cultural Events happening in Kenya this year and we thought to highlight 5 major ones so we could all start saving up! MAASAI OLYMPICS 2018 Far from the colosseums of Rome, these Olympic Games originated from the majestic plains of the Amboseli. Worried about the increase in population of the Maasai Community and the depleted numbers of lions in the country, the Menye Layi

    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

    Lake Ellis Part 2

    Lake Ellis After 2 hours we were finally at the lake. A thick vegetation of elephant grass grows around the lake and its golden tones offers splendid picturesque landscapes. This grass also holds a lot of moisture and soon everyone’s shoes were drenched. Temperatures had also dramatically fallen to -2 degrees and our fingers were feeling the pain. One trick we were taught by Kamau was to apply a thick layer of Arimis on our hands and face to prevent frostbite. The sight of th

    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

    SW Selina Onyando

    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

    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

    Ngare Ndare SW

    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
