  • 1)These Samburu men did not come to play, they came to slay😃 They take fashion very serious and as you can see, accessories play a major role. The men also do not shy away from dancing, singing, jumping and having a good time... Their music, dance, jumps, jewellery, motions are near hypnotic-I didn't want to blink, lest I miss anything. 2: Town girl (Me) feeling right at home in Samburu, with cows all over. You will appreciate why cattle is important to the community. The place is so serene, my body gets rejuvenated every time I travel there. We are heading back 23-25th to celebrate their initiates becoming Morans. This is a once in 15years event/celebration and will be a full blown party💃💃💃 fused with so much culture...Too excited. For details on how to join us, DM😃
  • This celebratory dance representing the joy and excitement these Samburu men have, as some of the young boys in their clan have undergone initiation. We are going back home to Samburu on 23-25th August to witness their graduation into Morans/ Warriors. This event/celebration/graduation happens Once in Every 15years. You have the chance to Join us in witnessing, experiencing and enjoying this once in Fifteen years celebration. DM us here or contact us on info@wangechigitahitravels.com for more details.
  • These are our top tips on how to prevent getting sunburn while enjoying the great outdoors. If you would like also to travel to the secret destination I am heading to in the video, let us know and we will take you there. 😀 Email us on info@ wangechigitahitravels.com #wangechigitahitravels #travelling #traveltips #travelblogger #travelboggers #kenyaraha #tembeakenya🇰🇪
  • 2: Tip number 2 on how to protect your body from sun burn is wear a scarf. If like me, vests and short sleeves are your go-to items while travelling,  I  recommend having a shawl that you can wrap lightly over your shoulders to protect your arms and upper body area to prevent unburn. Pic 1: I hitch-hiked atop a lorry for about 9hours, on my first solo backpacking mission to Northern Kenya-articles on website. I was I'll equipped to battle the scorching sun but that shawl helped limit sunburn to an extent. Pic 2: The Shawl helped keep parts of my body protected from the sun this refusing exposure to the sun as well as enabling me to adhere to religious etiquette whilst Golden Temple in Amristar. Shawls are indeed multipurpose and have helped me in so many instances For more on this check out link on bio https://www.wangechigitahitravels.com/6-tips-on-how-to-protect-your-body-from-sunburn/
  • Tip number one on how to prevent sunburn: 1: Wear a hat  I would recommend wide rimmed hats that not only protect the head, but also, most if not all of the face.  When you know you will be out in the sun for long,make sure not to leave this behind. For more, check out link on bio
  • The next time someone tries to convince you that African, black/melanin skin does not get sunburn, remember this picture of my sunburnt arm. While backpacking solo, Nairobi-Mombasa-Wasini sland-Watamu, I was having such a fabulous time, I ignored/forgot to apply the tested " 6 tips on how to protect your body from sunburn" as shared on link in bio. I paid the price with several parts of my body getting sunburn and having similar to extreme cases of the picture of my arm. For more, check link in bio. #travelblogger #travelling #travelphotography #traveltips #travelholic #travels #wangechigitahitravels
  • Watamu, thank you for an amazing time. You provided me with true relaxation and fun times. 1: I soaked up the sun, I swam like a fish at your pool, I learnt to wind surf in the Indian Ocean, kayaked to a sandbank and even had great photo ops at the sandbank. 2: I had sound sleep in my comfy, cozy room, star gazed from my balcony, ate and drank to my fill nd was very well taken care of by your staff. Thank you @turtlebaykenya This relationship has just begun, I will be back soon.. #travelphotography #travelgram #travelbloggers #bloggersofinstagram #tembeakenya🇰🇪 #watamukenya #wangechigitahitravels #travelling #travel #traveling
