CAMPING AND HIKING AT MT. OLOLOKWE, SAMBURU

-

 


Our trip started on saturday 7:00 am, we drove up North, I have always admired the views of this sacred mountain in pictures and my mind was always blown away by the views. I wrote it down on my bucketlist, I had to get to the top of this mountain.

We headed to Nanyuki route, took a few photos at the Nanyuki Equator and curio shopping, then headed for a briefstop over at Cedar mall for breakfast. Looking around you would see a clear view of Mt. Kenya, such a pleasure to be on.

          


We continued, there were more stop overs along the way, this made the journey even more adventurous. We got to isiolo, the temparatures were high, the town was quiet and camels were everywhere, it was beautiful to see how people survive in this places. 

Our last stopover was at Buffalo springs, this one was much needed, we cooled down at the Springs and took plenty of pictures.

 We finally got to Sabache camp, which is located at the base of the mountain  evening, we began to pitch the tents as the chef prepared dinner, We took dinner by the campfire in preparation for the early  morning rise.

We were set for the trails at exactly 3.00 AM, our guide leading the way, the trails follow elephant and cattle tracks, the guide took us in a really comfortable pace, he encouraged us to have a one minute rest to drink water and have our energy bars. you would see a really nice glimpse of the stars at this time quite magnificient.

In 4hrs we had made it to the summit, the guides told us it would have been more if we did it under the sun, the views on top of the mountains were worth the early morining rise, we watched the sunrise with a massive sense of achievements.I don't know how much I have to stress about the views  the views here, they were out of this world.You have to be there to experience it.The majestic beauty of the sunrise,We took a moment here to take in fresh air and lots of pictures!


I'd say Mt. Ololokwe is officially my best hike so far one is because of the views at the summit (sunrise)....they were magical to say the least and the fact that the hike started at 3:30am which was an exciting first for me. I hiked with @Solivetravel on Instargam, quite an incredible experience.

Thank you for stopping by ya'll. Till next time bye!!

Well, hello lovelies. It’s been a hot minute since I’ve logged in to chat here, life lately has been super hectic, super busy to be precise.

LOOSEN YOUR GRIP

This thought keeps coming at least twice or thrice a day and each time, it hits me right in my center. I never saw myself as someone with control issues. I am very much a live-and-let-live kinda girl for the most part. I let people do what they want to do and respect everyone having a choice to live their life how they see fit. What I've never taken note of was how in control have to be all the time. Emotionally to feel comfortable and safe. I wasn't controlling others or trying to control my environment, I was controlling myself.  POLICING MYSELF. I was holding so tight to my emotions that my knuckles were turning white. I needed to loosen my grip. I needed to learn to let go of the emotions so that my hands would be free to hold purposeful things. I let go of my grip on my emotions and now I can love, laugh, learn, heal, grow, knowledge, friendships, and the list goes on.
