Experiences touring our beautiful motherland.
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!
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.
To end 2012, I joined brothers and sisters from Onetouch on a photographic road trip that took us to places Google hardly knew of.
This was one of the highlights of my recent trip to the Kenyan coast.
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.
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 – 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.
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 …
At 41-megapixels, the Nokia 808 PureView has a pixel count that leaves even pro D-SLRs in the dust.
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.
You won’t find it on Google Maps, so here goes: Drive 80km north of Malindi to a trading centre called Mwenda Pole. Board a boda boda and after about 20 minutes, you’ll be in the heart of Katsangani, an island in the Tana Delta. I was here in 2010 to spread the Gospel with the …
The more random a plot is, the better it is. Monday: the plot is hatched to go to South Coast via Amboseli and Tsavo. Tuesday: we meet at Westgate and shop for supplies at Nakumatt. Wednesday: we hit the road. Amboseli is teeming with wildlife. Especially elephants. Tsavo is huge. So huge we saw very …
The last and first time I was here was in 2004. This time, we got to organise the trip ourselves, making it more enjoyable. Being able to plan your itinerary especially when you love taking photos is paramount. Don’t think I’ll ever go for one of those group camping trips again.
