Let’s pick up where we left off last week. As a recap, we had an exciting game drive on Sunday evening, capped by Kilimanjaro’s snow cap (see what I did there?) and a glorious sunset.

#OnetouchLive Amboseli – Part 1
Last weekend, we took our second photographic road trip of the year as Onetouch. We had chosen Amboseli National Park as our destination and crossed out two days and one night in our calendars for the adventure. After invites on social media, we had two vans with 16 photography lovers buckled up and ready to …
Visiting Samburu National Park
Travel and photography have taken me to many parts of Kenya. From the ice caps of Mt Kenya to the shores of Lake Victoria; from the Aberdare highlands to the slavery caves in Shimoni; but never to northern Kenya. It has been the last frontier in my mission to capture and share the beauty that …
World Elephant Day
The illegal trade in ivory kills up to 40,000 elephants in Africa each year. That is 5 elephants, every hour, every day, every month, for 12 months! That is around one every 12 minutes!
Nairobi National Park
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 …
Ol Pejeta Wildlife
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.
Mt Kenya Sunrise
I spent four years schooling on the slopes of Mt Kenya and I can’t recall mustering the courage to brave the morning chill to get a glimpse of the sunrise over Kenya’s highest mountain. The blankets were either too heavy or a certain magnetic force always pinned me down to my bed around sunrise.
Ol Pejeta Elephants
My fascination with elephants continues this week after an encounter with several while at Ol Pejeta Conservancy last week.
Ol Pejeta Chimps
I had the rare privilege last week of visiting a Chimpanzee Sanctuary in Ol Pejeta Sanctuary. It is one of the few places where you can see chimpanzees in the wild in Kenya, and appreciate how human-like they are. We are so alike that we share 98.4% of our DNA!
2013 has Risen!
It’s not too late to wish you a happy new year, is it? Today’s shots were taken as 2013 broke over Diani Beach where I was camped with Onetouchers on our first #ShootingAfrica expedition.
Lake Chala
To end 2012, I joined brothers and sisters from Onetouch on a photographic road trip that took us to places Google hardly knew of.
Kisite Marine Park
This was one of the highlights of my recent trip to the Kenyan coast.
Tiwi Beach
Peaceful Tiwi is located about 20km south of Mombasa, and just 5km before Ukunda. It has clean, white beaches devoid of beach boys or traders trying to sell you trinkets and merchandise.
Driving from Taveta to Voi
After handling an assignment in Arusha recently, I needed to join friends from ARK in Tiwi, about 15km south of Mombasa. I chose the quickest route which took me past Moshi, back into Kenya via Taveta, then Voi, Mombasa and finally on Tiwi’s white beaches.
Kinare Forest
Kinare – or Kinale – Forest is located on the A104 just past Kijabe on your way to Naivasha. It’s been a stop over on two #ShootingKenya episodes from where we’ve attempted to shoot the sunrise with mixed results.
#ShootingKenya Thika
Procrastination got the better of me on this one. I shot these way back on 23rd July 2012 on a #ShootingKenya expedition to Thika, Central Kenya. The day started quite eventfully with us being ‘arrested’ by some security guard at a fuel station on Mombasa Road for attempting to mount a GoPro in one of …
Shooting with the Nokia 808 PureView
At 41-megapixels, the Nokia 808 PureView has a pixel count that leaves even pro D-SLRs in the dust.
#ShootingKenya Nyeri
Several weeks ago, together with other photographers, I started taking Monday photographic trips to different parts of Kenya in what is tagged #oneTOUCHLive and #ShootingKenya on Twitter. This past weekend, we were in Central Kenya.
Lake Naivasha Kingfisher
I took a break from normal work last week and accompanied Team Inflatables on a cycling expedition that took them from Nairobi to Iten via Naivasha, Nakuru and Baringo. I was providing support and taking photos, not cycling.
