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.

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 →

Following on from the intensity of safari, Mr Nomad and I sought a different type of adventure and this next journey took us to the magnificent coast of Kenya, the glorious Diani beach.

It is arid to semi-arid so the climate is wholly different to that found in Nanyuki or even Lolldaiga's. It was scorching... Continue Reading →

We were overjoyed to have some friends come and visit us and this just happened to coincide with my birthday so of course, we had to show them the delights that Kenya has to offer as well as enjoy the time off work that Mr Nomad had finally managed to organise. We went to visit... Continue Reading →

Since my return to Kenya, in between the adventures that Mr Nomad and I have found ourselves on, I have volunteered my services with a small group of ladies to engage within the community and we all embarked upon a project to deep clean and paint classrooms in a local school. So we attended at... Continue Reading →

In between the adventures that Mr Nomad and I seek out, and in between some voluntary activities within the community, I spend my days riding horses as well as taking the Nomadic Family Unit fur babies for endless walks. Or both - horse riding with the fur babies accompanying us! I had been leasing a... Continue Reading →

Mummy came home! I don't know where she went but she had been gone for such a long time. Daddy had worked us to the bone, taking us into the office nearly every day but I don't think we let him down. Hound Solo excelled in his sniffer dog duties, sometimes doubling up as a... Continue Reading →
