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.

Road trip to Lake Magadi

There are a few places in Kenya that have remained in my bucket list for years. And among them has been Lake Magadi. From the tales and pictures of those who’ve gone before me, I always never get a feel of how the place is. It’s like the sort of place only a person can

Lake Elementaita- a breath of fresh air.

The first time I decided to visit this lake, my mind had a lot in it, I wanted a relaxing place that would help me relax. I love water. I find looking outside and seeing a large expanse of water soothing to the heart. But I also needed calm, I didn’t want boat rides or

Why you should visit Amboseli National Park

I had always heard that Amboseli National Park is the one park in this country that one is guaranteed of sporting most animals within an hour. I had always found that fascinating. I mean, each park has its glory but how does this one look to have such excellent praise?  But on the other side,

Kitui Road trip – Ikoo Valley & Nzambani Rock

Coming back from Ngomeni felt surreal. Mwingi and it’s environs really blew my mind away. It’s the kind of place that looks rustic yet self sufficient and stays with you way after you leave it. I talked about our first day here .  So we came back to Mwingi town and looked for a place
