Every traveler has one. It changes depending on our mood, what we’ve been reading, and who we’ve talked to, but it’s always there. The List. Sometimes we write it down, sometimes it’s only in our heads. We talk about it, “it’s on my list” and “that’s getting bumped up on my list”, but on all the travel blogs I have read, I haven’t seen anyone’s list,at least not yet.

It’s the list of places you want to travel to. Your list might have 2, 6, 10 or a 100 places to visit, but I’m just talking about the top 5. The places you really want to visit. Continue reading →

There are loads of things one can do on a weekend one being road trips,shopping (laughs), trying out recipes,camping,hiking, sampling cuisines(clearly the foodie in me cannot be surpressed) and weekend getaways just to mention a few. I mentioned road trips and before i embark on the later,if you’ve never been to Mt Ololokwe, just hit the road already. The view in itself will forever be a vivid memory in your mind.

Up until Thursday afternoon last week if someone had asked me where my itchy travel feet would take me next i’ d have been very quick to mention Laikipia(i was really certain about it that i even had a blog title of the trip on draft) but all that changed when a friend of mine brought Kiira cottage  to my attention via whatsapp. I knew of its existence that i even had it in my bucketlist but not really a priority though i have to admit the photos i recieved on thursday afternoon were enough to make my feet itch.I was in for the weekend adventure on a whim. The whole getaway idea was a last minute thing but when you have Stejos Tours behind the wheel,what’ s there to worry about? Continue reading →

Hello loves,i trust you all have been good since the last time.If you follow me on social media then you probably know what am here to share about.How many photos are too many for a post because i have a feeling this is going to be the lengthiest post i’ ll ever do.Seriously, i don’t know what to leave out,i feel like every photo plays a role.

It couldn’t possibly get any more story-bookish than this place.Picture this; A beautiful lake with shimmering piercingly blue waters glints in the sunlight, fringed with a forest full of lush green trees that grace its periphery, and right at the edge of this hilly idyllic, picture perfect scene is Wag Hill lodge & Spa Seriously, pinch me already!  Continue reading →

Try googling Garissa and almost everything you’ll see will be negative.Tell someone you are heading to Garissa and see how they look at you that is if they don’t ask you; what’s good in Garissa?,where will you stay? and the obvious that i won’t mention. Today am here to appreciate and write something positive about the town .Something that quite a number of you know nothing about,The answer to where will you stay. Garissa’s hospitality industry which i have to admit given the challenges the town has faced in the past,it is really growing.

There is a lot to be said as far as Watamu and Malindi are concerned but i won’t be saying much,I’ll simply share my experience in photos.If anything i only headed here to try and recover from all the activity at Wasini and Mkwiro islands though i have to admit i do love north coast,it’s always a place close to my heart. Every time I get here I am submerged in pure relaxation, happiness, excitement, pride in my country, awe, love and serenity. In future i’ll be extending to Lamu county just to enjoy sunrises and sunsets as i hear they are breathtakingly stunning from that end. If you’ve never been to Malindi and Watamu before,see what you are missing out my friend, call it “The Magical north coast” Continue reading →

If you follow me on any of my social media networks then you probably know that last weekend i had a great time at Giraffe Ark game lodge. I came across their signage by the road last year on my way to The Panari Resort Nyahururu and thought to myself,why not visit them next…I haven’t really had the time to plus i always wanted to visit with my best friend so when she confirmed her availability last weekend and i happened to be free also,we finally got to put a face to the name.

The lodge is 6kms from the highway, Nyeri-Nyahururu highway, and less than 40Kms from Nyeri town.Built on the Aberdare ranges it’s a combination of luxury and elegance.I have to admit that i loved it’s location,ignore the rough road to the lodge and focus on the ability to catch the sun rise above Mt Kenya,one word,perfection!That said allow me to share with you the beauty that is Giraffe Ark, a hidden gem but before i do,If you ever feel the urge to spoil yourself or escape your routine and want to do something out of the usual do not hesitate to visit Giraffe Ark.And ooh,it can be really cold,keep warm,you don’t wanna leave with a flu like i did but i guess it’s because am used to warmer weather….anyways have a look at this gallery

Getting lost or your vehicle getting stuck in the mud in a park while on a game drive is usually not the best experience,so they say.This however never applies to me,i have had my fair share of both experiences.I remember last year getting stuck and rescued by a land rover almost 2hrs down the line and in all that time i was busy taking photos but i guess i was easy because i knew help was on the way. My story to  Elsa’s Kopje begun exactly 2yrs ago.Technically today is our second anniversary hahaha .I woke up early enough on that day for my 7am game drive.It was all good until we got lost which was entirely my fault because i wanted to get to Rhino River Camp and if you’ve been to Rhino River Camp or Meru Park you’ll agree with me that unlike the signages to other areas within the park,directions to Rhino River Camp are poor.In the process of trying to find our way back we stumbled across a signage to Elsa’s kopje and my friend suggested that we go check it out since we couldn’t find Rhino River Camp. That’s how i met Elsa’s Kopje and since then it’s been a place close to my heart.From my social media networks i realized that not so many people knew of the place hence i felt inspired to do a post about the place having visited a couple of times.
