Employing Locals To Educate When Travelling Often when we travel to developing countries where the cost of living is lower, we find we can take more time, and travel at a slower pace. This gives us time to also catch up and have more dedicated time to educating Explorason as told here to Discavo. Our recent […]

The coast of Kenya is nothing like I expected. Nothing! But I had no idea what I was expecting – all I know is it excels every conceivable expectation. As we drive along, we head in through a natural reserve and emerge right on the beach, I think how my perception of Kenya was so […]

We have arrived! It has been Kenya all the way, and here is why. The Kenya south coast has been a dream place we have both wanted to visit for a very long time. In fact, both Explorason and I each had our own individual nighttime dream, and saw similarly what we think was the […]
The last two weeks or so has seen spending quite a lot of time in two capital cities. The first was Kampala, Uganda. I was driving a large 4WD we had hired from Expedient Car Hire (loved their service and great rates) in crazy Kampala traffic, and with Explorason being a magnificent navigator.
