As semi-adrenalin junkies, Mr Nomad and I and a group of other people embarked upon an adventure which entailed rafting down the river Tana in Kenya, attempting to navigate the white water rapids whilst trying not to drown or be obliterated off the craggy rocks and boulders that litter the expansive river. We boarded a... Continue Reading →

We did not wish to waste any time in Rwanda, this marvellous country, so on our penultimate day, we ventured back to the Volcanoes National Park to trek into the forest once more but this time, in the hope of seeing the Golden monkeys that inhabit the fertile foothills of Mount Sabyinyo. Another early start... Continue Reading →

The day had arrived. The trip of a life time. Mr Nomad and I arose very early to enable our Guide to drive us to our destination, the Volcanoes National Park so that we could arrive in good time to prepare ourselves for the day. The Volcanoes National Park is in the north-western province of... Continue Reading →

Mr Nomad and I have yearned to fulfill a dream to trek through the jungle in attempts to spot mountain gorillas in their natural habitat. We had planned to do this trip a year ago but with the onset of the global pandemic, a world wide lock down and even an evacuation, that dream looked... Continue Reading →

Mr Nomad and I are avid supporters of our local community and in order to show such support, we visited our all time favourite, Ol Pejeta Conservancy. This conservancy is literally on our door step, only around 15 minutes drive away and its abundance of wild life over 90,000 acres of vast rolling plains never... Continue Reading →

Our last adventure of 2020 took us to Soysambu Conservancy and the very purpose of this was actually a horse show. It was to be my first competition on the horse Goldie. It was also to be Goldie's first competition. Whilst horsing around is not normally Mr Nomad's thing, he is an amazing support to... Continue Reading →

The second day of remembrance took us to Maktau Indian memorial Cemetery. This cemetery contains Indian soldiers who were killed when General Mallison was ambushed by the Germans. It was originally a British war cemetery but in 1922, those British graves were re-interned at Voi. There are 16 graves, 1 of which was unidentified. Maktau... Continue Reading →

Whilst we had enjoyed the epic drive to the Tsavo, and our accommodation at Salt Lick Lodge was outstanding, our concentration shifted to the actual purpose of our journey and after a leisurely morning, we rendezvoused at Tsavo House in Voi for lunch and a briefing of the events to follow. James G Wilson We... Continue Reading →

The Nomadic Family Unit (less the two furry children) were invited to attend remembrance ceremonies in Kenya, to commemorate the fallen from the First World War. The end of the First World War in Africa came a couple of weeks after the British day of remembrance so we embarked upon an epic road trip to... Continue Reading →

Following our jaunt to the coast which now seems like it was an age ago, Mr Nomad had been toiling away and an escape for a weekend was sought. Whilst we always crave adventure and seem to constantly have itchy feet, we decided to go to a place we had never been to previously which... Continue Reading →
