We had two participants/interests.
We had so much fun during the ride.
Here are some slides we took; from Nyalenda settlement, Manyatta and Kondele.

Kenyans(kisumians or should I say yuropians) are very welcoming and cheerful people, we were received with love and warmth from the residents, always always ready with a pose and always greeting 'Msungu, how are you' and we'd respond.

Thank you .kenya and

This weekend, we had the privilege of joining the Chapati Festival at Achego Rescue Centre. Beyond the delicious food and games, it was a heartwarming experience of community engagement and empowerment.

Cooking Together, our team whipped up tasty treats, sharing smiles and laughter with the children.

From joyful games to shared moments of fun, we embraced the spirit of togetherness.
kenya is committed to fostering sustainable relationships. This event was a testament to our dedication to community well-being and empowerment.

We believe in making a positive impact, and the Chapati Festival allowed us to contribute to the joy and growth of the Achego Rescue Centre.

HIPPO POINT KISUMU
Is it still a tourist attraction in Kisumu? 🤔
Or it's a chilling & liquor drinking venue?

Do you feel safe meeting up with friends and family at Hippo point or rather go to ? Or

This is not a sponsored post, I am just 'disturbed' for lack of a better word, by the state of this attraction site.

Hippo point needs a facelift, and proper management or leased to private developer who can turn it to a proper attraction site.

Painting art is not only a way of expressing ones self, but also a form of therapy. It helps cope with stress, anxiety, and depression. It also gives a sense of joy, accomplishment, and purpose, (at least for me)

Pablo Picasso, said: "Art washes from the soul the dust of everyday life." and this agrees with.

That's why I decided to start a new project: an art tour in Kisumu city. I want to invite you to join me on this journey of discovery and healing through art.

We will visit different places in Kisumu that showcase the work of local artists, such as the Kisumu Museum, the Kisumu Art Gallery, Masai market and the Dunga Art Village. We will also have the opportunity to create our own artworks and share them with each other.

The art tour will take place every last Saturdays, every month, from 10 am to 4 pm. The cost will be up soon, (which includes transportation, lunch, and art materials).

If you are interested, please send me a message or comment below!

I look forward to seeing you soon and having fun with you on this art tour!

Resilience is the ability to adapt to change, cope with stress, and bounce back from adversity. It is not something that we are born with, but something that we can learn and develop through our experiences, attitudes, and actions. Resilience is what enables us to survive and thrive in the face of challenges.

As a business, Adventure Ecotrips , we have been practicing resilience in many ways. We have been innovating our products and services to meet the changing needs and preferences of our customers. We have been optimizing our processes and operations to reduce costs and increase efficiency. We have been investing in our people and culture to foster collaboration, creativity, and commitment. And we have been supporting our community and environment to make a positive impact and create value for all.

We are proud of what we have achieved so far, but we are not complacent. We know that there are still many obstacles and opportunities ahead of us, and we are ready to face them with courage and confidence. We are grateful for your support and trust, and we hope that you will continue to be part of our journey. (To all who support our work)

As one of our favorite quotes says: "The most successful people are those who are good at plan B."¹ We always have a plan B, and a plan C, and a plan D... because we believe that resilience is not about avoiding problems, but about solving them.

Thank you for being with us. Together, we can overcome anything.

Lake Nakuru national park

👋 Hi everyone, I hope you are having a wonderful day! I just wanted to share with you some amazing photos from my recent tour to Lake Nakuru National Park, one of the most beautiful and diverse wildlife havens in Kenya. 🇰🇪

🦩 Lake Nakuru is famous for its flamingos that line the shore in a stunning pink mass. Sometimes there are millions of them! They feed on the algae that grow in the alkaline water of the lake. 🌿
however, i didn't get to see a big flamboyance of flamingos like I expected,☺️

🦏 But flamingos are not the only attraction here. The park is also home to black rhinos, which we were really excited to see, from our circuit tour, I remember making jokes with every sight of zebra as rhino🤦🤣. We were lucky enough to see a lot of them during our game drive. They are such majestic and powerful animals! 🙌

🦒 We also saw other amazing wildlife, such as giraffes, warthogs, baboons, zebras, buffaloes, lions and more. The park has a wide range of habitats, from the lake itself to the surrounding escarpment and ridges. There is always something new to discover! 🌍

😊 I want to thank my two wonderful clients who joined me on this tour. They were very friendly, curious and respectful of nature. They also took some great photos that I'm sharing with their permission. Thank you for choosing me as your guide! 🙏

👉 If you are interested in visiting Lake Nakuru National Park or any other amazing destination in Kenya, please contact me and I will be happy to arrange a customized tour for you. You won't regret it! 😍
special thanks to who powered this round circuit tour.

Are you looking for a challenge that will prepare you for the ultimate adventure of hiking to Lenana summit of Mt Kenya?

Our roadmap of seven hikes that will test your stamina, endurance and skills on different terrains and altitudes. Each hike is designed to help you acclimatize and enjoy the beauty of Kenya’s diverse landscapes.

Monkey Rock hike, also known as Nandi Rock, an elevated rock outcrop on the escarpment that offers stunning views of the surrounding area. The hike is about 10 km long and takes about 4 hours to complete. You will encounter some steep sections and rocky paths, but also enjoy the lush greenery and wildlife along the way.

Mt Longonot hike: This hike takes you to the rim and crater of Mt Longonot, a dormant stratovolcano in the Great Rift Valley. You will ascend about 1000 meters from the base to the peak, where you will be rewarded with breathtaking views of the crater and the lake below.

Mt Homa, homa hills in Homabay: This hike takes you to the summit of Mt Homa, an extinct carbonatite volcano in western Kenya. The hike is about 14 km long and takes about 4hours to complete. You will climb about 1200 meters from the base to the top, where you will see the unique rock formations and vegetation of the carbonatite lava. The trail is steep and rugged, but offers scenic views of Lake Victoria and the surrounding hills.

Elephant hills: a range of hills in the Aberdare National Park. You will traverse through dense forests, bamboo thickets and moorlands, where you will encounter various wildlife such as elephants, buffaloes, antelopes and monkeys. The trail is moderate to difficult, with some steep ascents and descents.

According to my sources, there are several species of bats found in Kakamega forest. A study investigating the effects of habitat fragmentation on bat assemblages at Kakamega Forest, western Kenya, captured 4983 bats representing 26 species and eight families. These bats were divided into four foraging ensembles: frugivores, forest-interior insectivores, forest-edge insectivores, and open-space insectivores.

At Lirhanda hill bat cave, which is a tunnel that used to be a gold mining site, we have two dominant species of bats,
- African yellow house bat(yellow bellied house bat)
- Leaf-nosed bat( there are a verity of this specie). feeding on mostly insects.

The Hammer-headed Fruit Bat is also endemic to Kakamega Forest and is the largest bat on the African continent with a wingspan of almost one meter and a huge head. mostly feeds on fruits and found on trees.

if you are a caver, of lover of outdoor, definitely you should be here.

join my next adventure, to Kakamega forest, a 3day-2night adventure from
September 29th - October 1st 2023.

cost coming up shortly...
watch out...

KISUMU CITY BIKING EXCURSION

Sometime like this, last year (2022), we ( + ) took an adventure trip to Kit-Mikayi rock formations, in Seme, for a sundowner experience, (which is one of the best experiences in Kisumu). we were accompanied by other two friends, we took beautiful pictures, laughed and shared ideas.

It was nice welcoming him back again, with this wonderful tour to the hills of Nyahera village.

Our destination was an attraction nestled in these hills, called Abindu caves, we were accompanied by our good friends and passionate photographers and

Abindu area was initially inhabited by Kipsigis sub-clan, who now live in Kericho County. The caves have a spiritual significance as locals use the rock’s caves for prayers, fasting and seeking divine intervention.

They also offer thrill seekers a chance for adventure in hiking, rock climbing, bouldering and camping. 
From vantage points on top of the rock, one can experience some breath taking views of Kisumu City, Lake Victoria on the horizon and Maragoli hills & Nandi hills on the opposite side.

For birding and wildlife lovers, the site is home to different species of birds, and colobus monkeys.

it was a great experience anyway, join me in my upcoming biking excursion events and discover the unknown gems, while also giving back to mother nature by helping reduce greenhouse emissions from transport, which accounts to 22% of total emissions from tourism activities.

Travel responsibly.

Last weekend, I had the privilege of biking and hiking Nguge hills in Gem Siaya county with my client who is a champion for sustainable tourism.

We took our delicious lunch 😋 (vegan) at the Nguge Hills Wellness Lodge , a member of Wellness Lodges and an eco-lodge that is committed to culture, conservation, creativity and continuity, eco-friendly and giant in promoting sustainable travel in the region

We planted some trees and exchanged ideas on sustainability with the manager of the Lodge who is a young passionate sustainability champion Evon Ouko

The lodge also has a one-of-a-kind adrenaline park, activities, accommodation, restaurant, lounge, events garden, and campsite.

As a tour guide, I create biking tours that aim to enhance the connection with the landscape and the local culture by allowing cyclists to discover new places and interact with people at a slower pace, in western Kenya tourism circuit.

It was a memorable experience and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for adventure and wellness in Western Kenya.
