Why visit the same old travel destinations when you could discover new wonderful haunts?

I recently had a bit of free time on my hands and decided to head over to Samburu East District. I had been mulling over the trip to Sera Community Conservancy for a while and when time and opportunity came, I was set for it. I had been told that it was a beautiful place of solitude where you got to explore Kenya’s best bounty in nature while offering true relaxation. And I did really need to get out of town for some rest and recreation.  If you have plenty of time, I recommend the 6-hour long scenic road trip through Nanyuki and Isiolo towns and Archer’s Post hamlet. Flying, however, is the choice mode of transportation for most guests. I arrived at Kalama airstrip aboard an Air Kenya flight (one of two airlines that operate daily flights to Kalama). My journey had begun at the crack of dawn and I was pleased at the four stopovers in Amboseli, Nanyuki, and Lewa Downs before Kalama. Let’s just say a bird’s eye-view paints a different impression of Kenya.
