The Silent Thief of Sight

Did you know that Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness in the world, after Cataracts? What is Glaucoma you ask? Well, this is an eye disease that is as a result of progressive damage to the optic nerve. Although irreversible, if detected early through screening it can be treated. In Kenya alone, over

Epic Rider of Kibera

I attended a Photo Exhibition and Music Video launch, No Touch Am, on 30th November 2017 at Prokraft Africa, a studio and gallery in Nairobi. The brains behind this phenomenal project were Kenyan creatives Osborne Macharia (photographer), Andrew Mageto (videographer and assistant photographer), Kevo Abbra (stylist), musicians Blinky Bill and Nneka (Nigerian), in partnership with the

The people of Northern Kenya

The Marsabit-Lake Turkana Cultural Festival was finally here with us. I could not wait to meet and learn more about the famous 14 tribes, that had been used to market this annual event, which had taken place since 2008. The festival was proposed by the local communities living in Marsabit County, in order to promote

Archer’s Post-Loyangalani

At the start of 2017, I promised myself that I would finally tick Turkana County off my bucket list; and sure enough, I did. Well, to some extent... I figured I would pay the place a visit when a major event was taking place, and what better time than during the annual Lake Turkana Cultural

Ngare Ndare Forest

Kisumu Ber

Kisumu had been among the top 3 destinations on my bucket-list for local places to visit in Kenya since 2015, so you can imagine my excitement and mental satisfaction when I went there over the just-concluded December holidays. My first time of course had to be by road because I was very curious to see

Day trip to Mt. Suswa Conservancy

I have always wanted to visit Mt. Suswa, especially after first learning about it through photographs taken by Amunga, back in 2014. What drew me most to the place was the famous 'Baboons Parliament', which I was a bit hesitant of its existence at first, until I actually went to the place, courtesy of an invite

My Sarova Experience (Taita Hills Edition)

You know that saying, "if something is meant to be, it will be"? Oh don't I know it too well. Even I couldn't sabotage it despite coming really close to doing so. So Friday morning at 8.05 a.m. to be exact, I get a phone call from a friend and fellow photographer, Lyra, asking me

Kilimambogo hike and Camping at 14 Falls Campsite

Back on the road again with CampYetu, and this time we set out for Ol Donyo Sabuk National Park , otherwise known as Kilimambogo, in Thika, for a hike. We assembled in the Nairobi CBD at our usual meeting point, Bata, next to Hilton Hotel. After exchanging pleasantries and grabbing snacks for the road, we
