After holding a successful two-week exhibition, we were in need of a quick getaway and relaxation destination as Onetouch. When Hell’s Gate was proposed, there was a resounding yes. So cameras were packed and we hit the road on Sunday 8th May 2016.

Doof Mpararo, Burundi Style!
If you didn’t play in a pool of water without chlorine when growing up, you can consider yourself having had a deprived childhood. It was one of the reasons I got spanked over and over again but I still did it. It was irresistible. Yes our school (Hospital Hill) had a beautiful pool but nothing …
The Beauty of Ngong Road Forest
It’s not a place many would like to visit because of the stories of carjackings and muggings that have happened here. These were also my objection statements when I was invited to pay a visit by Arune, one of the friends of the forest. In her defence and that of the forest, she told me there’s …
Rediscovering Nakuru
With family spanning almost every administrative ward since the 1950s, Nakuru is naturally my second home. It’s a place that I’ve visited more times than I can remember, making beautiful memories filled with smiles from family and friends. As it came up on the Onetouch calendar last April, I knew it would be a challenge to …
The Wilderness of Meru
Many safaris and game drives are planned every day in Kenya. Mostly to Mara, Nairobi, Nakuru and Amboseli. Very few to Meru National Park. Yet this far-flung wilderness park holds a beauty that shouldn’t be missed by anyone who loves being in the wild.
Masai Mara : 7 Days in the 7th Wonder
Masai Mara will forever hold a special place in my heart. It was the first place my wife Gina and I went on an expedition together. That was back in 2004 when I was throwing darts at her. I returned there last August, eleven years later, to experience the beauty of Mara once more, this …
Is this Bye Bye Canon and Hello Sony?
I picked up my first SLR – a Canon Rebel 300v– in 2003 and have shot Canon ever since. I was originally shopping for a Nikon F65 but only Canons were in stock and just like that, my relationship with Canon started. It is a friendship that has remained strong for twelve years now… Until last month …
Somebody please wake up @MagicalKenya
Tourism remains a key pillar for Kenya’s economy, employing thousands of Kenyans and providing billions of shillings in revenue to local businesses and the taxman. It is no wonder we all get feverish whenever travel advisories are issued. The Kenya Tourism Board has quite a task, making sure travel advisory or none, Kenyans and foreigners make different destinations …
Nairobi National Park on Madaraka Day
Nairobi National Park is a place you can’t get tired of visiting. No matter how many times you venture into the world’s only capital city park, you’ll find something new to excite you. That’s why last week, as Kenya celebrated Madaraka Day, I hooked up with Amunga, Sharon and Joanne to see what we would …
The Beauties of Magadi
Last November, I had the privilege to visit Lakes Magadi and Natron. You can read more about that trip which has been my most epic to date here. When we got to Lake Magadi, we made our way to the hot springs where we met Maasai ladies selling curios and crafts in an open air market …
Kangemi’s Routemaster
In the last couple of months, there’s been a lot of talk about phasing out 14-seater matatus in favour of higher capacity buses. This is in an effort to decongest Nairobi’s streets and hopefully have more people preferring public over private transport. But will 35 or 50 seater buses solve the problem? Why not have …
Visiting Lake Ol Bolossat
Located between the Aberdare Ranges and Dundori Ridge is Central Province’s only natural lake – Ol Bolossat. I also didn’t know that it was the only one in Central Province until about two years ago. I’d always longed to visit it and see the beauty it held and last week, the opportunity presented itself and …
#OnetouchLive – Lakes Magadi and Natron
I’ll always be grateful to God my Father for blessing me with the gift of photography because through it, I’ve been able to visit places that I might have only dreamt of if I had a regular desk job. This year alone, I’ve been to more new places in Kenya than in my entire life …
A Sunday Afternoon in Naivasha
About three weeks ago, I got to spend almost an entire day in Naivasha with my lovely wife Gina and several friends. We were at a conservation area near Crescent Island, taking in beauty I hadn’t seen before.
Africa from the Air, Nairobi – Nanyuki
Earlier this week, I shared the beauty of Africa captured while on a flight from Abuja to Nairobi. Well, after landing safely in Nairobi, I was on another flight to Nanyuki the following morning, this time to cover land investment briefing session for Goshen Acquisitions.
Africa from the Air, Abuja – Nairobi
Flying presents one with an opportunity to see the world in a whole new perspective. In the few minutes before going above the clouds, I keep myself entertained trying to name the minuscule collection of buildings and highways. Then above the clouds, a new beauty awaits, with clouds of all shapes and sizes scattered across the horizon.
JKIA’s Terminal 1A
There’s be ongoing construction at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport for a couple of years now. To cope with increased traffic into Nairobi and it’s growth in importance as a regional and international hub, a new terminal at JKIA is now open for service.
The Mighty Zuma Rock
About one hour out of Abuja, and rising 1,125m above sea level, Zuma Rock is said to be the geographic centre of Nigeria.
Welcome to Gurara Falls
I spent most of last week in Abuja, shooting at The Nordic Villa. While flying there from Nairobi, I flipped through my Msafiri and found an article recommending what to do while in Nigeria. Since I had one free day before returning to Nairobi, I immediately had a plan to take in some Nigerian beauty.
OnetouchLive Lake Nakuru
It had been five months since I’d been on a OnetouchLive and my body showed it. There was greying around my trigger finger, with the occasional shivering of the skin around the elbows whenever I saw an overland truck on the highway.
