Almasi Ziwani

Misconception is in my opinion the worst thing that ever happened to mankind.
And the saddest part about it, is that we are all victim to it. Many a time, we rarely take time to understand, know or figure out the things that make us proud to be Kenyan. We are quick to look away out and about other than within.
Kenya, the motherland is my home and I am proud to be Kenyan. However, I realized that despite being proud to be Kenyan. I have never really had an experience that sets my country apart from the rest of the world, other than the fact that I was born here. So I took a journey to discover this beautiful country. 
My lens and I decided to take voyage to the gem that is Voyager Ziwani. Situated in the heart of Tsavo National Park, it is a serene location for friends and family to take a weekend off and unwind. A place for rest, relaxation and restoration.
Its a 4hr drive from Nairobi and I can tell you for free it's worth the drive. 
After a long drive in the dust and murram from Oloitokitok, we finally got to the hotel. It is a tented camp, and has the most breath taking view. With a man made lake right in the center... and jetty's situated on each end of the lake.
The personnel at the camp were hospitable and that made me feel like I was in a home away from home. Excellent food, amazing service and warm members of staff... This was my weekend experience...
Hospitality....
enjoy

Mayo....

Regardless of where we are in life there is always that spirited cheer leader who will always stand by your corner. Always cheering you on regardless of what you've done, where you've been or how much you messed up or how well your doing in life.
She is undoubtedly the world’s greatest super hero who needs no introduction, whose strength is unwavering and one who’s always at your corner regardless of who, what or where you are. Her name is Mummy.
Today’s post is dedicated to my mum. She is one in a million and though I might not say it all the time I appreciate and love her to bits.
I think back, and the memoirs that stand out are too many to pen down. 
In a nut shell her hands stand out. The hands that washed me,  that embraced me and the very same hands that chastened me. The same hands that cooked each single day and baked for every birthday. The same hands that nurtured me and defined what true love is. For that I am for ever grateful.
To me she is my queen and the physical representation of unconditional love. Let’s give it up to mothers all over the world, the unsung heroines of the ages. To mums and the people who have assumed the role of mum in whatever circumstance, you are star and your appreciated... 

I will love you....

...Unconditional love for all time

Never a dull moment...

...lean on me

Her counsel...

Best supporting actor in my life Mummy...

...My bundle of Joy
