Thunder on the Mara: Wildebeest Migration
A living tide of hooves and hides across the plain. This note covers the river crossing, courage, and the cycle of predator and prey in the Mara.
The herd moves because the grass calls. We watch with a Maasai scout who reads the river's moods. Lions ghost through tall grass. Learn to honor that momentum without interrupting it.
Diani’s Quiet Hour
Salt in the hair and the hum of fishermen. This note looks at tides, local markets, and the patient memory kept by the Kenyan coast.
The reef is a library; fishermen read tide-lines like verses. At dusk the sky writes itself in coral and orange. The coast keeps a patient memory. Walk slowly, and the place will tell you secrets.
Breath at 5000m: Mount Kenya Notes
The cold teaches humility. A morning on the slopes that asks for patience and returns honesty. Notes on the ascent and high-altitude conversation.
We rise before light. The air is thin, and the world sounds clearer. Conversation shrinks into essentials. The summit instructs you to be small and glad. Bring respect, and the mountain will share its calendar.
Ink & Sand: The Northern Plains
A caravan memory of acacia and wind. This note covers the patient arcs of the north and the generosity found in arid lands.
Sand keeps its own hours. Shade is rare and generosity is therefore abundant. Travel here asks you to slow the clock and match the land’s cadence. The sky spills its stories like loose beads at night.
Nairobi: Asphalt & Oxcart Songs
The city hums in a thousand small economies. An ode to the matatu rhythm and the trades that stitch this place together.
Morning in Nairobi is a layered thing. Matatus are the city’s heartbeat—loud, ornate, impatient. City travel is an apprenticeship: listen first, speak less, and you will find windows into local lives.
