Karuru Falls - Aberdare National Park (07-02-2015)
I salute all travel and
tour organizers for having to deal with all calibre of people with different
wants and expectations.
This time round, I
joined Kenya Hikes and Adventures for a day's "hike" to Karuru Falls
at Aberdare National Park. The park is managed by Kenya Wildlife Service
(KWS).
Karuru Falls is believed to the
highest falls in East and Central Africa.
Kanzalu hill - (08.02.2015)
Kanzalu Hill is by far my best adventure.
The scenery is simply breathing taking and the experience so worthwhile.
Zaina Falls (17.01.2015)
To be sincere, I had never heard of Zaina Falls till I came across a post about a day's hike by Bush-Thorns Adventures and Safaris and Adventure Three Sixty Kenya Facebook accounts.
Mt. Suswa Hike: "The Rim Challenge" - (10.01.2015)
I enjoy the outdoors a great deal and once in a while I will join a group of hikers and hike around.

A little bit of Loiyangalani
Jambo!
After our expedition to Mount Kulal, we decided to visit Loiyangalani, a lake side town east of Lake Turkana, Kenya. Being a small town, there was little to be done. We managed to visited the Desert Museum and swim in the Lake.
We spent one night and left the following morning headed for the capital!
Here are the pics!
Ilmuget - rite of passage
Hello, hello......
I hope y'all doing good!
Our timing to travel to Mount Kulal was on point. We arrived there just in time for Illmuget, a cultural ceremony performed by the Samburu Morans. The best part is we partly witnessed the event.
Ps. I will try to explain it as well as I understood it. I might miss out on some details since I do not practice the Samburu culture.

Mount Kulal... a unique ecosystem.
Jambo jambo!!!
I love research, anything to do with wildlife am interested. So here I am with a small grant to do an Avifaunal (bird) survey on Mount Kulal as well as document community utilization of the forests.
The in depth details of the project might bore you, so I will just share a few pictures, a little bit about the site and the journey.

Mount Kulal is about 700km from Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, East of Lake Turkana.
The forest ecosystem is unique considering it is surrounded by arid-land.

Wine tasting in Palatinate Wine Region, Germany
Hello, hello...
In September, I attended a short Summer course in Landau, Germany. The programme was tight and most evenings we either relaxed or toured the Landau city and its environs.
One of the memorable evenings was the wine tasting experience at one of the oldest vineyard.
One of the memorable evenings was the wine tasting experience at one of the oldest vineyard.
Wine production is quite an exquisite process that starts by understanding the best climatic conditions required for quality grape fruits to the delicate handling and grading of the grapes for quality wine. A few tests were done to check on the sugar levels of the grapes followed by a visit to the factory to appreciate the wine making process.
Finally a few products both alcoholic and non alcoholic were ours for the tasting.
Problems - A Guest post by Jimmy Daze
I'm thinking any problem has a solution and a problem source ......explicitly or implicitly.
I think that all problems are induced by us humans yet God provides all solutions but we doubt..... and act like we know better!

Unique you......Guest post by Jimmy Daze
I believe every human being on this earth is unique and should be given the chance to define their life as they percieve it and live it by their own rules....
out of the over 7 billion souls on earth... none are alike...
you are unique and here for a reason
... your personality helps to make the world what it is...
...seek out your purpose and pray to God for guidance and direction.
