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. The gentle waves of the Indian ocean lap against the glistening white sand which can be found some 30 kilometres from Mombasa,... Continue Reading →

Following our stay at Lolldaiga Hills, we ventured to Samburu Game Reserve for more excitement. Samburu is a county found some 345 kilometres from Nairobi and is around 165 square kilometres in size. 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 →

The following day would bring more adventure. We were promised a hike up the hills to view a cave which offered magnificent views of the entire conservancy and perhaps just as spectacular, ancient cave paintings from a by-gone era. We set off reasonably early and as we made our way through the landscape, we passed... Continue Reading →

Nestled within the county of Laikipia in Kenya, the Lolldaiga Hills can be found. Mr Nomad and I have visited this stunning place before but that was to 'wild camp' and this time, it was to stay in the luxurious tented camp with Safari Series. The Lolldaiga Hills is a working ranch of around 200... Continue Reading →
