Adventure travel in Africa
Meet Dineo Zonke Maduna, a full time traveller from South Africa. As of this writing, Dineo has been travelling full time for 10 months and she is not stopping any time soon. She is one of the few Africans that I know of that live on the road full-time. It takes a lot of courage…
Kenya is one of the best places to go on safari in the world. I have been to game drives more times than I can count and I know the “must haves” everyone should pack. If you are going to spend a couple of days in the wild and go on game drives while at…
A few weeks ago, I took to Twitter to curate a list of African Festivals and the reaction was overwhelming. Africans are very proud of their heritage and different countries have different ways of celebrating and highlighting their culture.

Is someone special, a friend, brother or sister that loves to travel celebrating something special? Or are you feeling generous enough to gift your traveler friend with a portable travel gift that they need? This post is not sponsored. I have been traveling regularly since 2016 and after three years I know what comes in…
The first time I visited at Olarro Conservancy happened to be my first time staying at a conservancy.

Every one with a full-time job that runs from 8-5 complains about not getting enough time to travel. I did talk about how to maximize travel with a full-time job and exploiting public holidays was one of the ways. The average Kenyan gets 21 days annually. In this post, I am highlighting how in 2019…
Lamu Island, in my opinion, is a destination fit for relaxation. “Polepole” is a Swahili word that you will hear a lot in Lamu. It means slowly, and that is precisely what Lamu Island is all about. This is a follow-up post from my Lamu island guide and pictures to inspire you to visit Lamu.…
Towards the end of 2018, I found myself traveling solo to Lamu. It was my second time in Lamu Island. My first time in Lamu was in 2017 , and I loved Lamu Island so much, I remember tearing up at Manda Airport as I was leaving. Talk of being such a drama queen. Haha! Here…
