Lovely love story

I have just read the most lovely love story by someone whose mind I love. And as is usual, the most lovely of love stories usually end or start with a heart break. Does it only count if a heart was broken? Does the pain contrast so much with the bliss that was the relationship’s

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

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

Lake Chala

Lake Jipe

This was actually my second time to visit this lake. The first time I wrote about it here and that was more of a group trip. This second time, proximity to Lake Jipe and Lake Chala is what made me actually choose to stay at Saltlick. But I had one major concern. As much as

My Stay at Saltlick Safari Lodge

Visiting this place had always been in my bucket list. Like I knew that one day I would visit this beautiful lodge and experience all it had to offer. I did write of how to get there here.  The first thing that occurred to me when we entered their rooms, was how spacious they were.

Journey to Saltlick Safari Lodge

I wasn’t planning to do a review so soon, but given that so many people have shown interest in what this heavenly place is, we can just get into it when the memories are still fresh. I grew up around Tsavo, and my dad had this habit of taking us out to those lodges inside

I want life. In all its possible ways.

When I was turning 25, things felt different. I couldn’t place it then, I couldn’t tell what was up, but I knew that life as I knew it, was done. It felt more scary than exciting. As if I was moving from one land to a totally different one that I didn’t know of. Change
