This week, we’re still in Tsavo for the African Screens series. Tsavo is vast, flat and scenic. Due to its size, it’s not that easy to spot game but when you do, it definitely is worth it. Remember last week’s elephants? For this shot, I had to drive quite a bit to get the perfect …
The Niko na Safaricom Live concert directors had an idea that many said couldn’t be done. We listened to them, planned how to and did it. Every year, Safaricom promote their brand through countrywide music concerts dubbed Niko na Safaricom Live. They get the top music artists and have them perform in major towns with …
Thus far the Good Lord has brought me… It’s the tenth African Screens wallpaper and so far, so exciting… and tiring too! It takes a lot of commitment to put out a different image each week but I must say, rewarding too! Spurred on by your kind comments, and the desire to shot how blessed …
This is the third week we are in Elementaita, which, I got to find out, is a corruption of Ole Muteita. The sunsets at this Rift Valley lake never disappoint, and are as diverse in colour and form as the the experiences you’ll have when there. This week’s was taken in 2012 when visiting the …
It may be the smallest of the Rift Valley lakes but Elementaita is never short of action to capture. For the second week in a row, it sets the scene for this week’s wallpaper. I shot this bird (someone kindly tell me the species) on Christmas eve morning in 2007 while open camping by Elementaita’s …
This week’s wallpaper was shot on a bright Saturday morning in Lake Elementaita. It reminds me of the days when Saturday was a true weekend; when you could sleep in instead of rushing to school for extra classes; when playgrounds were the preferred play station; when kalongo, bano, kati, shake and bladder kept obesity and …
There’s events and there’s experiences; there’s concerts and there’s Niko na Safaricom Live Launch. Put together by Kijiji Entertainment and Mo Sound it was an amazing experience well worth enduring Nairobi’s mad traffic to attend. We parked our cars at Splash and were ferried in matatus, tuk tuks and boda bodas to the Carnivore Gardens …
I was at the Motor Cross Circuit at Jamhuri Park last Sunday to do a story on the Jubilee Riders. It was my first time there and I was amazed at what talent and adrenalin can do. Children as young as eight were pushing their bikes at full throttle and eating up air like birds!
As Kenya marks 50 years of independence on 12th December 2013, a daring group of bikers will fire up their heavy machines and set off from Nairobi to Cairo in a 10,000km return road trip with a difference. It will be a ride through some of the toughest conditions that anyone can face – rock-lined …
Hope your week has started off well whichever part of the world you are in. Here in Kenya, we are experiencing winter chills and can’t wait for the sun to return from vacation. This week’s wallpaper goes to prove that even in the dry and dusty times, Africa is still a beautiful place. It was …
The little-known village of Katsangani is located about 80km north of Malindi, and 30 minutes inland on a boda boda. It is an island in the Tana delta and for the longest time, palm wine brewing was its main economic activity. In the past couple of years, a group of fearless influencers from Mavuno Church …
A big thank you for all the kind words from last week’s debut African Screens wallpapers. I’m humbled and encouraged to keep doing this. The first instalment this week features Bee Eaters I spotted in Kajiado in 2012 where I’d gone to watch the Safari Rally. The beauty of these birds is their rich colours, …
The third instalment of the debut African screens features a Zebra I spotted among a herd in Amboseli a while back. There was nothing unique about it, but I decided to shoot its back as it enjoyed its meal. I loved the way its stripes contrasted against the clear blue skies. If you feel the …
We stay up late, wake up early and even skive work to show our appreciation. And they never let us down, making it the best 15 minutes of many of our weeks. And now, you can show your appreciation for Kenya’s Sevens team with the second of this week’s African Screens wallpaper. It features the …
Africa is a blessed continent. Yes, we have our issues, but we have more blessings than issues. In my travels across the continent, I’ve come to appreciate our abundance of diverse landscapes, warm hearts and explosive energy. All the photos showcased in this blog and at www.click.co.ke are shot right here in Africa as evidence …
I got to meet Andrew and Daisy over coffee earlier this year. To get to know them better before their wedding this December, we decided to have an engagement shoot recently at the Railway Museum. Many thanks to Wamuyu Kiragu who helped with the strobing and some of the shots. Please check out her work …
I attended my first Aflewo in 2012. NPC Karen was packed to overflowing and we all enjoyed the experience, from sunset to sunrise. This year, it moved to the more spacious Winners’ Chapel on Lusaka Road and what a wonderful time of praise and worship we had… it was Amazing! And since I didn’t audition …
Its amazing what we have in the backyard of this great city we call Nairobi – the only capital with a National Park! Spent a couple of hours there two weeks ago hoping to spot the lions but wasn’t successful. I did however have a great time there despite getting lost for several minutes while …
This week, allow me to take you back to the largest black rhino sanctuary in East Africa and the only place you can see chimpanzees in Kenya.
Last Tuesday evening, I hooked up with Steve Kitots and Mutua Matheka on a hurriedly-put-together shoot of Nairobi from street level.
