Lake Bogoria

As you’ve read from my previous post here, we visited Lake Baringo first, checked into the hotel we were to stay at, Lake Bogoria Spa Resort, and then planned to visit Lake Bogoria the next day, with no particular hurry. Lake Bogoria was supposed to be near our hotel, theoretically. Google Maps had told us

A visit to Lake Baringo

I visited this lake while in high school. But as old memories go, I had only one recollection if it. Being in the lake, after a short boat ride and the boat people telling our class teacher to increase the agreed upon money so that they could take us further. Little did they know that

Hiking Nzaui

This should have been the first mountain I’ve hiked without reading anything about it. I searched for Instagram or YouTube videos on it, and I just got little snippets about the hike. Nothing conclusive. Except one person who said that the hike took them 9hrs 41 minutes, and in my head, I thought that they

Ngong Hills, 2021.

I have always wanted to hike Mount Kenya. To be on the highest mountain in Kenya. Obviously because it’s a challenge and a nice accolade to have as a hiker, but mostly to remind that little girl in me, that her passions, her desires, the weird things she enjoys, are valid. But my decision to

Eliye Springs

This is arguably the most famous place along Lake Turkana. Maybe it’s because all influencers have to go there when they go to Lake Turkana or everyone who just goes to Lake Turkana, famous of not, visits the place.  All the same, our visit  to Lake Turkana would also not be complete if we didn’t

My experience at Central Island, Lake Turkana( part 2)

One of the things that the planners of this Turkana Odyssey had insisted on before we embarked on the trip was a mosquito repellent. He had literally said that you can forget everything else, but not the mosquito repellent,to be used especially at Central Island whose mosquitoes are known for their sting.  This would be

My experience at Central Island, Lake Turkana (part 1)

Lake Turkana has been the most consistent place in my bucket list. Each year as I wrote my new year resolutions, it was always there. So when I saw that Safiri Nasi together with Xtyrm Adventures had a planned trip there, I started salivating. It’s the once in a lifetime kind of opportunity that I

A pictorial journey through West Pokot

Of all counties that I knew the least about, West Pokot would feature up there. The only thing I had heard of until then, was that my friend who lives there drives a lot of hours to get home. And even then, he has to leave his car some kilometers away and walk the rest

A visit to Kapenguria Museum

I’ve always been a proponent of all counties in Kenya having their own museum. This will allow the different parts of the country to tell their own stories about their culture, history and past. These are places that the local people , students and even visitors can come to learn about that specific area.  And

Saiwa National Park

Given that this is the smallest national park in Kenya, I’ve always been curious about it. What would make Kenya conserve a few kilometers squares of land in Kitale? What is so precious there that it had to be preserved?  It is this curiosity that made this park get into my bucket list years ago.
