Kenya’s most scenic spaces are to be found north of the Equator. To experience them, we loaded up the Forester, charged our batteries and left for Marsabit on a 4-day photographic trip that ended up being a 7-day adventure.

For many years, The Big North was a forgotten territory. Lack of infrastructure meant only resilient pastoralists and opportunistic bandits called this home. But around 15 years ago, Kibaki’s government decided to prioritise tarmacking of the A2 from Isiolo to Moyale.
The resulting stretch of smooth asphalt has since opened up counties north of Isiolo to adventurers seeking to soak in the beauty of the semi arid lands. Here, landscapes hug the skies where jagged mountains quench themselves by sipping waters from the occasional rain clouds.
10 photographers, 2 cars, 16 days on the road, Nairobi to Bujumbura.

We originally wanted to do Nairobi - Namibia. Instead of cancelling the entire trip when finances refused to cooperate, we changed our destination to Bujumbura.
We even appeared on NTV’s The Trend with @LarryMadowo to share our vision.

I just flipped my 43rd calendar yesterday.
Here are 43 stories I'd like to re-share with you.
