"Love in the wild" is what Serena Hotels calls my blog post about when I proposed to Salandi Labarakwe at the Serena Amboseli Safari Lodge during a Valentine's weekend safari. See link for those interested in such things... :)

What’s with the Swedes and their cream-filled semla buns gulped down with liter upon liter of coffee? Sweden.se investigates.

January sure is a lot hotter in Nairobi than October - December were. No rains, just blue sky. But also dry and dusty. Doing errands in town today.

A week rarely passes in Isiolo without militias killing villagers and displacing families around
