 One of the most memorable moments in my school-life is a time when my Geography Teacher, Mr. Kinyua taught a new topic when I was out of class attending a mathematics symposium that was happening in a neighboring school....you know that challenge that machoppies used to do time after time.... .Ooops I digress.... The topic was on the formation of a Tarn. To be honest I had never heard of anything like that before. It happened that Mr. Kinyua (had a beef with me and nikipatana naye nitamuuliza about it) decided that he would issue a test the very next day. Mind you we arrived back at school late in the night and so I did not have a chance to even study. To cut the story short, I got a 00/20 marks in that test as I wrote my own things.... I described the process of tanning leather 😹😹😹! How wrong and lost I was. To make the matters worse, when he, the teacher finished marking, he brought back the papers and read out the marks starting with the highest score to the lowest and alas, tha

The legend of the Kenyan island of Envaitenet is one of those cases which utterly intrigues, but which is frustratingly lacking in detail. The small island sits on Rudolf Lake (named after a crown prince of Austria), and in the language of a local tribe Envaitenet means “No-Return”. It has long been considered to be a cursed place.  A ccording to local residents, the island "absorbs" people and because of this, for many years, no one wants to live on this mysterious island or even visit it for the fear of a possibility of repeating the fate of those who disappeared forever for unknown reasons in its vicinity. These are not fictitious legends, but quite confirmed facts. The story goes that the inhabitants of Envaitenet frequently came to the mainland to trade goods, but then one day, inexplicably they stopped. Concerned, two local men decided to travel to the island to find out what had happened. When they got there they found the place completely abandoned. All they found wer

Most of us long to visit Dubai and enjoy walking up and down the sand dunes. With the Kenyan economy, however, that remains only a dream that may never come true. Amazingly, you can enjoy that experience right here at home, and to make it more interesting, at almost no charge at all. Nestled along the pristine coastline of Kenya lies a hidden treasure that transcends time – the Mambrui Sand Dunes. Far from the bustling city life, these majestic dunes stand as silent guardians of nature's poetry, inviting wanderers to immerse themselves in the symphony of wind, sand, and sea. A Geological Ballet: The Mambrui Sand Dunes are a breathtaking testament to the intricate dance between earth and wind. Sculpted over centuries, the dunes boast undulating patterns that shift with the ever-changing coastal breeze. Their golden grains create a natural masterpiece, a testament to the raw beauty that Mother Nature weaves in her silent tapestry. Sensory Splendor: Visiting the Mambrui Sand Dunes is

Since my high school days, I developed this great fantasy of travelling to Arizona, United States just to experience the awesome view of river Colorado's Grand Canyon. My geography teacher( one very tall man and of course one of my favorite pedagogues) explained the beauty of this magnificent work of nature and this made my plane take off. Ever since I have been travelling to see the Grand Canyon; in my mind; just like they say that imagination will always take you to places even eagle have never landed. On my journey, luckily, I landed at my destination and I beheld what I leaned from my teacher and much much more, right here in my land, my beautiful, magnificent, awe-inspiring Kenya. The breathtaking Hell's Kitchen.

Situated at the base of the magnificent Kerio valley sits the home-away-from-home, the Lelin Overland Campsite. The road meanders of Iten(the haven of the famous athletes) as well as observing the overlooking rocky creeks of the mighty escarpments not only offer a great deal of sun but also awe in the beautiful work of the nature. Lelin is a place packed with all a man would need to enjoy a weekend getaway to his full satisfaction. Talk of a campsite where you wake up and go you can wake up and do some Duff Mpararo (Swimming in a river) to teh max. Here you jump down a cliff and you enjoy the cooling effect of the water below. Dont be deceived, the water down there may seem warm but like you remember Geography (The higher you go....) well, here you experience the opposite of that. Damn, isnt the experience amazing? At Lelin there is food.... ooops! Did I say food? I meant to say delicacies that you cannot taste anywhere else in Kenya. Here you get to taste those local delicacies at
