Well African Jewellery tells a story. Its up to you to find and discover that story, when you start your adventure in Kenya. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and the way that tribal women wear jewellery fascinates me. I want to share this experience with you on my solo female adventure in Kenya.

Jewellery plays a significant role in identity worldwide. Whether you wear a wedding ring, a cross, earrings, or nothing at all. Jewellery can make a statement about you. Or help you to feel good about yourself and your culture. In Africa, jewellery can tell stories or express beliefs. This includes the tribe to which you belong, your social standing, and whether you are married or not.

How to plant a tree in Kenya? Let me show you! I have many trees in my garden at home. I don't think I planted one that felt so good as the one I planted in Kenya. It's a strange experience. As with the Maasai, the location and the beautiful scent of Africa, planting this tree was very symbolic of new beginnings for me.

During our ethical tour of Kenya, we visited a local primary school to understand the initiatives our charity partner, CWC Kenya, is supporting. Find out more on the CWC website here - https://community-wildlife.org/community-and-wildlife-conservation/

Reteti was founded due to local needs. The local people were finding orphaned or abandoned elephants. Orphaned, if the parents have been killed. Or, abandoned due to human intervention. In these remote areas, farmers make water holes or wells, which are a hazard to animals when they fall in and cannot climb back out. This is when elephants have to move on and leave baby calves behind.

What a women-only safari really means, and what it doesn't A women-only safari is not about exclusion. It's about experience. A unique experience that is designed for comfort, safety, and shared values. I understand these values, as for the past 16 years, I have managed a women-only group of metaplastic breast cancer patients. This is a rare cancer, and through our group, we ladies have bonded and share a set of common experiences and values.

Because we will have a honey tasking night on our Safari. Organised with the CWC where they have added Beehives in the outskirts of the camp to create a unique honey experience!

CWC runs bursary programs supporting primary and secondary students, including the Nuru Mwangaza bursary and top student secondary sponsorships, enabling access to schooling and reducing financial barriers.
