A blogload of Kenyan culture
STA traveller Richard is in Kenya finding inspiraton for his second novel, so his Karibuni Kenya blog is a great place to go for his recommendations for Kenyan and Kenya inspired music and literature.
Despite struggling to get a decent internet connection in the various safaris and sanctuaries he’s visiting, his dedication to social media sharing has shone through as he’s just published reviews of two more African books - ‘The Leopard’ by Cecil Bodker and ‘Africa, A Biography of the Continent’ - and musicians - Alpha Blondy and Papa Wemba - that global culture vultures should love.
In an update on his own adventures, Richard describes his time watching giraffe, zebra, impala and more at the stunning Fisherman’s camp at Naviasha and reviews the best places to eat, including:
a restaurant at bottom camp where hippos are visible grazing close by at night. It is always my base when I come to kenya, and I would highly recommend it top anyone visiting Naivasha
He’s also visited the wildlife around the geothermal gorges of nearby Hell’s Gates National Park.
Richard’s travelling with a local friend and guide Isaac, so go read and comment on his blog -it’s a great opportunity to ask questions and swap stories with a true Kenyaphile.
