Mafikizolo lit up the Koroga stage with an exhilarating performance at the Arboretum Gardens on Sunday.

The duo from South Africa had a huge crowd dancing to their well known hits including Khona, Happiness, Emlanjeni and Tchelete.

For people who hate camping, the images that are usually conjured up in relation to the activity include cold and wet or hot and sticky nights, smoky campfires, pesky mosquitoes and thin sleeping bags. However the age of glamping is upon us. The word, used to define luxury camping accommodation, is a play on the words glamorous camping. Today we feature some of our favourite glamping spots around Kenya while you enjoy to Tembea Kenya.

On the night of 31st May, 2016 two of Kenya’s Benga giants,  Chris Adwar and Dan Aceda, came head to head in an epic battle.

Manu Dibango at Koroga was LIT!

Hot on the heels of Koffi Olomide’s electrifying performance in March, Koroga served up some of Nairobi’s best live acts.

The beloved children's show Tinga Tinga tales came alive over the April Holidays as a great cast put together a one-of-a-kind musical show. From the 23rd of March to the 22nd of April 2016, kid's across Nairobi danced, sang along and watched as their favorite animals got themselves into and out of various hilarious situations.

If you are on Facebook, SnapChat or Instagram, you’ve probably noticed an increase in photos and videos of glorious views, airplane wing shots and of course, the mandatory runway shot. The posts are usually accompanied by a hashtag #vacay #fastjet #JamboJet #milehighclub #goodlife etcetera etcetera

Grab your sunglasses and safari boots people, you may soon be able to get in some serious vacation time for a lot less thanks to an initiative by the Kenya Tourism Board.

In an effort to bolster domestic tourism, the Kenya Tourism Board (KTB) has reached out to local tourism industry players for all-inclusive holiday packages. The initiative dubbed 'Jaza Ndege' will see partnerships between domestic airlines, hotels and the government to offer subsidized rates for Kenyan tourists. The offers will be advertised on popular radio stations and posted on the KTB website with Kenyans being encouraged to participate fully and take advantage of the low season offers.

If you rise at dawn, and the 13 degree temps do not deter you, head on down to the lounge area and get a cup of tea - Kericho gold, nothing else. Take your cup and find a bench, I recommend the one with a free standing ashtray near the first tent. Sit down, take a deep breath and witness the magic of a Sweetwaters Serena Camp Ol Pejeta morning.

Vibrant oranges and mystic greys fill the sky as night gives in to day. Just beyond the watering hole, in the horizon, Mount Kenya rises in all her glory, her 3 distinct peaks - Batian, Nelion and Point Lenana - showing in the dawn light. It’s an awe inspiring and humbling sight.

It’s very quiet at this hour, except the hub-hub of sleepy tourists trying to quickly drink something hot before they head out for the 6.30 am game drive. They all hope to spot doa-doa ya juu and doa-doa ya chini, the local description for the very elusive leopard and cheetah .
