Have you ever had a crazy morning? A morning where all your plans are challenged? Well, we did. We had a rather crazy morning. Mainly because the rain came pouring down, and we were due to leave Turtle Bay Club for the Malindi Airport. This may not seem like a big deal to you, but it […]
Have you ever thought about how good it would be for a child to have fun when they are learning? What a joy it would be for them to wake and to be excited about what the day holds for them? For my son, this is his life as he travels the world, and he […]
“What A Load Of Rubbish,” says Explorason as we walk into a building and inside are piles and piles of RUBBISH. Immediately before us, there are barrels of BLUE plastic waste, collected from the local beaches. Recently we stayed at Turtle Bay Club in Kenya. Whilst we were there we noticed a board that listed […]
We left the Watamu area just a week prior to our stay at Turtle Bay Beach Club on the Kenya Coast of Africa. With a few days to spare before we flew to Lamu Island, we decided we’d like to experience a resort with a Kids Club that was also ‘All-Inclusive’, and of course it needed to be […]
What happens when tourism dies? When tragedy strikes and area? When the Media and Government websites hype it up? When unnecessary risks are publicised.

Design Your Own Safari “Africa – the home of the ‘Big Five’. Animals that roam the savannah and jungles freely to be seen in all their glory, and we could not wait. Our time has ended after we were helping in a school and village mission in a remote area of Uganda. With a […]
I am sure you have heard of Mombasa, but did you know it was an island? No? I didn’t either. Nor did I know it had a checkered past. But when we visit Old Mombasa Town we soon discover its ancient history. We sadly left the south coast of Kenya by taxi, where we had been […]
If you are looking for an utterly fabulous place to take a relaxing break where you are pampered and treated like family, look no further. Kinondo Kwetu is a huge old African regal homestead on the south coast of Kenya, and it means ‘Home Away From Home’, and it is just that. We spent several days […]
” Where’s my dinner tonight ?” asks Explorason. To most, this may not seem like such an odd question, but here on the Kenya Coast where we are staying is quite unique and creative. And most meals are served somewhere new and different. So when Explorason asks “Where’s my dinner tonight?” it means we […]
We are off to stay on an island where everything is different. Our arrival is different for starters – we make our way at low tide via a tractor and trailer – through the sea channel as the salt water laps at the giant wheels. Off to the side, a clan of baboons is feasting […]
