The Red Elephants of Tsavo East, Kenya

Published June 7, 2018 | By Anne Wambui Kanyi

No matter where you are from or your age, there is nothing quite like seeing wild elephants for the first time. Just some few meters while driving down the road inside the Tsavo East National Park, we suddenly saw the elephants at a distance. There were several red colored spots standing out amongst the green vegetation. It was clear that they were moving towards the direction of our way. The guide stopped the van and we waited patiently. Within some few minutes, they were right there in front of us crossing the road, just a feet away from our van. They peacefully walked and there was nothing out of the ordinary. It was such a special experience for me as a lover of elephants. Continue reading →

One of the highlights of our trip to Kenya, was going on a safari to Tsavo East National Park. It is one of the oldest and largest African safari parks in Kenya. It was established in 1948 and covers 11,747 square kilometres. Its close proximity to the beaches and tourist attractions around Kenyan coast region, makes it an ideal safari destination for those who would like to combine.

Naturally being the home to the Big 5, is what brings the majority of tourists here. There are a whole range of different ways to enjoy this spectacular reserve, from self-drive safaris to guided tours. There are diverse Kenyan wild animals which includes the large families of giraffes, gazelles, hartebeests and zebras, as well as the Big 5 (buffaloes, elephants, lions, rhinos and leopards).

Our Seine River Cruise Experience in Paris

Published May 21, 2018 | By Anne Wambui Kanyi

To begin exploring Paris, we decided to take a boat tour along River Seine that is in the heart of Paris. Seeing the romantic city of Paris by boat is on the must-do list of most visitors. The cruise allowed us to take in many of the highlights of the city from the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, the Musée d’Orsay, Notre Dame, among many others. During the boat trip, we were also able to see quaysides, bridges, banks and the most beautiful Avenue in Paris. This helped me to understand the layout of the city.

Paris has 37 bridges. My most memorable experience in this one Continue reading →

Giraffe Centre, Nairobi

Published May 10, 2018 | By Anne Wambui Kanyi

On our recent trip to Kenya, we had a chance to visit one of the top sights in Nairobi; Giraffe Centre. It is located in Karen suburbs, around 20 kilometers away from the city centre. This sanctuary offers the chances to meet, feed and learn more about giraffes. There is a small charge for entry but no limit on the amount of time that you can spend with the giraffes. I also loved the fact that there is no prior booking required.

The staff gave us clear instructions and they were particularly welcoming and encouraging towards children. Continue reading →
