I grew up thinking that Ukambani was what I knew it to be, dry, no water and a lowland. Until in my adulthood when I got to know that actually a considerable population of Kamba people live in constituencies that have enough rain and they have water all year round. But my biggest surprise wasContinue reading “Mwingi, the rockiest town in Kenya?”

Lake Chala
We started this day with the intention to visit both lake Chala and Lake Jipe as they are less than 50 kilometers away from each other. I’ve spoken about the morning visit to lake Jipe here. But one thing I didn’t mention in that post about our morning is that we encountered a herd ofContinue reading “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 asContinue reading “Lake Jipe”
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.Continue reading “My Stay at Saltlick Safari Lodge”
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 insideContinue reading “Journey to Saltlick Safari Lodge”
Road trip to Namanga
I think I’m so in love with the place because we just woke up and decided to go somewhere, anywhere, and that ended up being the destination. There is something about impromptu road trips that leaves one light hearted. It’s like a pleasant surprise. So anyway, weirdly enough I don’t think I’ve ever been toContinue reading “Road trip to Namanga”
Lake Chala
To share this story, is to give you a glimpse of Kenya’s most cleanest and pristine lake, and I’m not so sure it’ll still remain the same if we all flock there to go see it. But seeing how Mzima Springs has maintained its pristine-ness despite thousands of visitors, maybe this isn’t so true. LakeContinue reading “Lake Chala”
Lake Jipe
I knew something like Lake Jipe existed. Its one of those things you know but you don’t know how you got to know of them. Or even where it was. Lake Chala I don’t remember having heard of it. But sometime last year I saw Safirinasi, a travel agency I trust and love, had takenContinue reading “Lake Jipe”
Mzima springs
Out of the ordinary things impress me. They excite me actually. A little more than they do the average person. Which is why I’m always looking for the next sunset. The next lake. The next forest. The next good view. The next hill. And this time, my search found me in my most loved nationalContinue reading “Mzima springs”
My Ngare Ndare experience.
I first saw a picture of this place from a travel agency i’ve used severally. In a swim suit, flipping her hair full of water in front of a water fall. Blue pristine waters. At that moment I knew I would go there one day. I just didn’t know when. So when I saw anContinue reading “My Ngare Ndare experience.”
