I think back on those days of bummin’ on the beautiful beaches off the East Coast of Africa… The best beach party we ever had, was on the island of Zanzibar, East Africa. Kendwa Rocks had an awesome display of African acrobats, a huge array of deadly cocktails and just upbeat swahili music to get [...]
Going on an East African camping safari was on my list of the ‘things to do before I die’. The whole experience was awesomely astounding out of this world, and never like anything u could ever imagine. That surreal feeling of being so close to an animal in the wild. In their natural habitat. Where [...]
Every single time I stepped into the classroom with Class3, they would start singing this lovely song ‘Welcome our teacha, welcome!’ Whenever I think of them, I hear this song in my heart it brings a smile to my face, and some tears to my eyes. I miss them.. their smiles, their coy faces and [...]
Another cruel depiction of politics in Africa.The Last King of Scotland is based on true story of the infamous dictator of Uganda, Idi Amin.I’ve long heard about his cruelties, yet strong character who made people love and hate him.His regime had killed over 30,000 Ugandans, his rule was characterized by human rights abuse, political repression, [...]
Alot travellers are faced with the same question after a long period of travelling. So what’s next? Is there still life after travelling? Of course there is! All our family and friends are back at home, always here for us. But is everything the same as how it was when u left? Most probably not.. [...]

Swahili time – oh yes, East Africans have their own way of telling the time. The day officially starts at 7am – which is 1am for them (saa moja asubuhi).It continues on until 7pm – the start of the evening/night for them, thus called 1pm Swahili time. It is amazing and hilarious when …
So yes, we made it! After a long haul flight from Egypt (to think that Africa is that humongous), we got our ass here – now in Arusha, Kilimanjaro. After smearing ourselves all over with insect repellent (oh yes, Alberto is very afraid of Malaria), our dear host gave us a warm welcome and [...]
It sure was interesting to be in 3 countries within 2 hours. After 10 days of Egypt, we were ready to get away from the constant bargaining and hassling. “5 Egyptian Pounds my friend, okok how about 3 Pounds..?” We were kinda templed-out as well, albeit the intriguing Hieroglyphic writings and mystical Egyptian [...]
Night wind howling. Staring at a whole sky littered with stars. Complete tranquility and peacefulness. Not a single soul in sight, not a single sound… Just you and nature. We were in the Western Desert, 6 hrs from Cairo rural lil villages n friendly country people. The 4 by 4 jeep took us [...]
It’s been a rhapsody of odd smells, beautiful ancient art and overwhelming Egyptian sellers. We’ve had lots to laugh the past coupla days, over their interesting culture and ideas. One of the funniest- we were crossing the street, all frazzled (they’ve got some crazy driving style here) when this Egyptian guy was friendly [...]
