A short Walvis Bay marine tour video from Namibia: seal on the boat, pelican freeloading, dolphins close by, oysters, flamingos, cold Atlantic air, and a view that gets better from the water.

I am an entrepreneur, explorer, and travel writer, based in Nairobi. For more than two decades, I have travelled across Africa by road, air, boat, and the occasional questionable track, usually drawn to places with character, history, and a bit of rough edge. Through Wandering Africa, I share stories, field notes, and photography shaped by real travel, close observation, and a lasting fascination with the continent’s landscapes, coastlines, cities, and wild places.
Sipi Valley is one of Uganda’s most spectacular off-the-beaten-track corners, with three major waterfalls, muddy hillside hikes, abseiling beside a 100-meter drop, and smallholder coffee farms producing seriously good Arabica.

If you’re a seasoned traveler in Kenya, you may feel that Mombasa, Malindi, and Lamu are “been there done that“,...
Namibia started with Windhoek, a city so orderly it felt slightly weirs after Nairobi. From there, Spitzkoppe, Swakopmund, Walvis Bay by road: Seals, flamingos, pink salt lakes, quad biking, and the dunes of Sandwich Harbour’s above the Atlantic. Three coastal days were enough to see a lot, and also to realise I had barely started.
Jinja sits where Lake Victoria flows into the White Nile. Between Nile cruises, rafting, bungee jumping, old railway history, Mabira Forest, and the Nyege Nyege Festival, Uganda’s source-of-the-Nile city has plenty beyond the famous river sign.
The 482 km road trip between Nairobi and Mombasa takes around 6 to 7 hours in very good driving conditions....
A short Windhoek video from Namibia: clean streets, German colonial leftovers, Post Street Mall meteorites, rooftop views, and the capital before the road trip begins.
Shaba National Reserve sits well outside Kenya’s usual first-timer circuit, which was exactly the point. Dry landscapes, game drives, Samburu country, sundowners in the riverbed, and trout in a fig tree made this one memorable.
Nyege Nyege has turned quiet Jinja into a proper East African festival town. Four days by the Nile, five stages, artists from across Africa and beyond, hotels packed, roads jammed, and enough colour, music, street food, and chaos to make the town at the Source of the Nile feel a lot less sleepy.
