My personal take on what this beloved country has to offer.


Hello everyone, I'm a Kenyan girl currently living abroad. I wanted to dedicate this first post to my native country- Kenya! So here we go.

Kenya is a beautiful East-African country filled with great people, warm tropical climate, diverse wildlife, white sandy beaches and overall alluring nature.

I'd highly recommend it as a great tourist destination. One gets to experience a whole new culture, lots of languages and visit plenty of places such as National parks.

You could also climb the all year round snow-capped Mt. Kenya and try different culinary dishes as well as enjoying the scenery it has to offer.


Kenya is widely known for its wildlife. It is home to the Big five: Lions, Elephants, Buffaloes, Leopards and Rhinos.

However, there's so much to see from various bird species to the annual wildebeest migration, Gorillas, Flamingos, Giraffes as well as Crocodiles. 




Moving on to what this amazing country has to offer, Culture and Cuisine. A fun-fact is that there are around 68 spoken languages in Kenya.

The staple drink is Tea. The agricultural sector is more prominent with much of its produce including coffee, wheat and horticulture.

The most notable cultures are the Samburu and Maasai as they still dress traditionally. The most common food in Kenya is Ugali or Chapati and meat stew. 




An amazing place to visit would be the Giraffe Manor. What better way to start/end the day than by having breakfast or afternoon treats with friendly Rothschild giraffes.

Lake Nakuru is also a spectacular place to see its famed flamingos. Hell's Gate National Park is a stunning place to view the Great Rift Valley and marvel at it's beauty.

                                                           





Here's a link to a video that pretty much sums up some of the best places to visit and stay while travelling to Kenya.

I hope you'd want to visit these places as there's no better feeling than seeing wildlife at such a close range.

The country's scenery is simply breath-taking and you'd get to have an out-of-this world experience as some would say.

Let's not forget one of my favorite places, the coastal region marked by the famous Portuguese fortress known as Fort Jesus.



Lamu island is one of the oldest cities and a renowned port during the Indian Ocean trade era. It's characterized by old colonial houses and dhow boats.



One would also enjoy snorkeling, deep-sea diving, freshly-made coconut juice and go on camel rides on the beach.

Mombasa offers a variety of stuff from swahili cuisine to plenty of hotel resorts characterized by white-sand beaches and turquoise waters.



These are just but a few locations I'd recommend anyone to visit. Rest assured there's a vast plethora of stuff to do and see.

A Look Back At One Of My Journey's to England. Travelling to Great Britain has always been something I'd wanted to do for a long time. Luckily, I got the chance to visit last year and it was nothing short of what I'd expected it to be. I had an amazing time and got to see most of its famed landmarks. I actually visited England twice, the first time was in Spring and I went to Liverpool. My stay up north west of England was memorable as there's so much history in this particular place.  The second time was in Autumn and I went to London for a couple of days. During my first trip, I was nervous and didn't know how it'd go. The best thing about it was that it was sort of a road trip; driving all the way from France, taking the ferry across the English Channel and continuing onwards to England by road. I made a short pit stop in Oxford. I loved the city itself as it had such an old vibe to it. I visited Trinity College, the Radcliffe Camera a...
