RONDO RETREAT CENTRE AND KAKAMEGA RAINFOREST SAFARI

---

Western part of Kenya is quickly becoming a choice for many people searching for a unique Kenya Safari . After spending the night at Kisumu City,i drove to Kakamega town a two hour drive. What i had planned for was a Kenya Vacation Packagethat would include some cultural safari,and a tour of Kakamega Rain forest.I arrived at Khayega trading Centre where Luhya Cultural Activities take place,and was ushered to a Football pitch by Musa a local tour guide,to find a huge crowd gathered on each side of the pitch."The "match" is just about to begin..." He whispered softly.
He took me to a strategic point,on a roof top of an ancient building overlooking the pitch.I made sure my camera was set,then i waited for the Kakamega Bullfighting event.
My patience was saved by an emergence of two groups from opposite directions,singing and chanting,while accompanying their Bulls to the war zone. Suddenly somebody shouted and the area was filled by silence. The match had began! Two huge Bulls came towards each other in a neck breaking speed! I quickly closed my eyes as the loud bang hit the air. Unfortunately one of the Bulls had fallen on the ground. The Bullfighting match had come to an end....So fast!
I drove to Kakamega and Musa who accompanied me pointed a finger at a huge human shaped rock,oozing water from the "head"."The crying stone!" He shouted. I took some pics of this extra ordinary feature then we left.
We arrived at Rondo Retreat Center in time for Lunch.The place is breath taking and relaxing. Surrounded by trees and melodious singing of Birds,it is perfect for meditation.
We were served Lunch at the dining room,then left to a Kakamega rain forest a home for over 300 species of Birds and Butterflies and small game including Colo bus Monkeys and Snakes.
I noticed the Horn bill from a distance with its colored beak,and The Wood Pecker hitting away at tree backs in search for insects,The laughing Weaver Birds and Robins. Its indeed a Birding Paradise! As i retreated back to Rondo for Dinner and Warm bed, i... What a wonderful world...

My Kenya Vacation at Kembu Campste and Lord Egerton Castle.

---

After a long time of vising game parks,this holiday i wanted something different. My Kenya vacation has been a series of moving from one Park to the other. But it was a perfect holiday to try something totally new.An idea struck me,and i went in search for a Kenya Vacation Package that will suite me.After going through the Great Rift Valley Safari itinerary,i settled for camping and adventure travel in Kenya.After some planning i hired a mountain bike and rode to Kembu campsite a distance of over 35 km from Nakuru town.The idea of spending the night in a sleeping bag and watching the sky at night looked refreshing to me.On reaching Kembu campsite,tired from a long ride,i badly needed a hot bath to relieve me of aching muscles. I settled for dinner thereafter and read a book at the fireplace in the bar till some minutes before midnight when i retired to my tent.the sky was saw clear that i studied the galaxy,and how lucky,a i watched a flying star flash across the sky,illuminating the dark African sky.That was before i drifted to slumber land!
I was woken up early the next day the sweet tweeter of birds on a Cedar tee just above my head.I got out of the sleeping bag for an early breakfast.Half an hour later i was back on the back to hit the road for seven kilometers to The Lord Egerton Castle.
I arrived at the Magnificent Castle almost one hour latter.I was trying to catch my breath from an uphill ride,when an old man approached me and introduced himself as the caretaker. He narrated to me the facts and the mirth's about the Castle and its Late owner,Lord Egerton.Every time he talked about the Lord,he referred to him as "Mzee" Swahili for an old man. I latter learned that he had accompanied the Lord in so many hunting expeditions.He told me how another African man once saved "Mzee" from a Lion's mouth!
Our tours covered the huge sitting room with an ancient grand Piano that the Musicians that he hired from abroad used to play him some classical music.We also visited his bedroom and twelve other rooms including his study and office.
After all this i was tired. I thanked the Caretaker mounted my bike and sped off to Kembu for my late lunch. Well it was areal change for me...
