Easy Sunday – the Ngong Hills circuit

Destination: Muturis, a choma joint with a “food court” set up – different vendors offering mbuzi, pork and fish. Spacious, with a kids' play area. Good ambiance. Music.

Bush and beach in Mkwaja, Tanzania

this village is about 3kms away from Saadani National Park which fascinates me because one of its borders is the Indian ocean. So this place is the perfect combination of bush and beach.

Bike rebuild test ride

The local suggested I push the bike to a nearby manyatta where I could leave it for the night and they would give me a ride to Kimuka. They were unwilling to carry my bike on their pick up.

The rise of electric motorbikes

The riding experience: lots of torque all through. In Sport mode, the effortless acceleration was impressive - much better than the equivalent combustion engine. There's real hooligan potential there.

Unplanned sudden bike trip, Nairobi – Mariakani – Malindi

Goodbye CBR300R

If there is one thing I've really liked about this bike is that not even a single day I've I ever woken up, start it and it fails to start... My travels come unplanned and not even a single day I've I ever canceled coz the bike has failed to start.

Sala Gate excursion

A local guy called one crocodile and the reptile obliged and came out of the water. I had never seen or heard of humans calling crocodiles from a river! It was and still is intriguing to me.
