Morning Game Drive in Nairobi National Park
It had been a while since I was surrounded by spots and stripes in the wild side of Nairobi. So despite the weather not being the best for wildlife photography, I decided to take a morning game drive.
Peace and Quiet at Castle Forest Lodge
At the start of 2021, I wanted to take some time off work to plan for the year ahead. A friend recommended Castle Forest Lodge. I’m glad I listened to him.
Masai Mara is More than Migration
It’s a spectacle of nature that draws tourists in their thousands each year. Missing a river crossing however shouldn’t dampen your trip to the Masai Mara.

When the Covid-19 cessation of movement in and out of Nairobi was lifted, I got together with three photographer friends – Mumbi, Mutua and Josh -and headed to the land of gentle giants for a four-day, three-night camping trip.

Yes, it’s called Lake Kenyatta
I also didn’t know such a lake existed. So I did the Thomas thing, and travelled to Lamu County to see it for myself.
Karibuni Lamu!
It’s one of Kenya’s leading attractions but it has managed to elude me for a very long while. I finally got to tour this unique island this July and this is a snippet of what I saw.
Morning Game Drive in Nairobi National Park
This was much better than eating exhaust fumes and cursing at overlappers in Nairobi’s morning traffic.
#TwinMigration2018KE Watamu Whales
They can weigh up to 30 tons but for a split second, they break free from gravity… leap out of the water… catch air… and become… weightless!
#TwinMigration2018KE Masai Mara
I’m certain you’re familiar with the wildebeest migration that happens annually between the Mara and Serengeti – the 7th wonder of the world.
