Am Adelaide Sifuna ,Born in Western part of Kenya and grew up the entire life in Kenya .My passion in travelling and adventure started way back when in primary school I joined the Kenya Girl guide association, where we would camping, hills hiking and keeping the environment clean. During that time my father was also supportive and he would take us to short trips at home, we used to stay at the rural areas, unfortunately he passed away and my dream became shattered. I never gave up on my passion when I was done with my high school, worked with a NGO as a Volunteer and travelling was also part of the work this gave me hopes of going back to my adventure, unfortunately also my contracted ended with them so i had to find another work. My breakthrough came in the year 2019 when I started working as a freelancer marketer with a Tours and Travel company. I joined several Travel groups in Facebook and I met one lady from United State of America, who wanted to do A safari in the Amboseli National Park, I was so delighted to plan a safari for her, remember all along in my life I had never gone for a safari, but she insisted that I should accompany her, being that it was a private tour I joined her, it was very breathtaking, I was super super excited to join her. Our Safari to Amboseli National park started very early in the morning, it was a 3 days 2 nights safari, so we picked her from her hotel, then we embarked on our safari. My entire life I have never been in a pop-up van, it was amazing, We drove towards Taita-Taveta county which borders Tanzania, then we detour using a rough road, trust me am a Kenyan but there are some communities which I had not personal met like the Maasai’s and never seen their cultural activities, like boys rolling down their wooden made carts, women carrying their woven baskets of food on their heads. It was a bumpy ride being a rainy season though the van could handle it. We spotted baboons and zebras, homes were made from mud and sticks or concrete blocks. All this in the shadows of the cloud covered by Mt. Kilimanjaro. After seven hours in the van we arrived at Serena lodge, oooh what a magnificent place to be rooms were clean and comfortable. The buffet had an amazing array of local and international food. We ate lunch together rested for an hour, then we went out for an evening game drive, first stop was the Maasai village, where women met us with singing and jumping, we had the tour around their village, learning how fire is made, took pictures inside the huts and perused the handcrafts from the women. Back in my mind I was really wondering about this community how they have maintained their culture whereas where I come from westernization has taken place. There were plenty of animals to see especially the elephants, a typical game drive last about two hours so it means a lot of sitting but if there are animals to see time moves very fast. We went back for dinner and met other several people from different countries and it was such a nice experience. After Dinner we rested and the next morning we went for another early game drive, we were served with coffee and embarked on the drive, we could see the clear peak of Mt. Kilimanjaro and the best sunrise ever, we were able to see the lions and went back for breakfast. Next stop was Tsavo West. This is where we have the man eaters’ lion, that killed 135 people during he construction o the Kenyan railway from Mombasa to Nairobi by the Indians. This Park is quiet rocky with old lava flows called Mashetani in the local language meaning devil, the resident believed that it was the work of the devil for the lava to happen thus naming it Mashetani. We also took a short trip to Mzima springs, which is a fresh water river that supply the water to Mombasa city. The view from the Kilaguni Serena Lodge at Tsavo West is pure heaven. From the dining room open porch, one can watch animals come to the watering hole. It was definitely a place I would love to visit again. The Serena Lodges are known for great comfort and hospitality and they did not disappoint it was full moon while we stayed there. I could also watch the watering hole from my balcony to see hyenas chasing zebras. Next day we left after breakfast for a morning game drive as we embarked on our journey back to Mombasa city, it was unforgettable experience which still lingers I my mind up-to now. It made me to grow more and more passion in travelling not only in my country but if given a chance even abroad. Indeed a made a local connection to things I did not know about my country.
