Can you believe this is #Rwanda? 🇷🇼 On assig Can you believe this is #Rwanda? 🇷🇼 On assignment for @africanparksnetwork and @printsforwildlife (Unpaid Advertisement) In my mind Rwanda was mostly lush green hills, fog and gorillas. But in the very East there's a National Park with savannahs and plains, just like its adjacent big brother the Serengeti. I was lucky enough to spend a week in @akagera.park learning about its wildlife, but also about how African Parks manages this park from a community and conservation perspective. In the end it's all about people - how they safeguard these ecosystems and how they can actively benefit from it's protection. That's where sustainable conservation starts and ends. And that's when wildlife can thrive alongside the people who live in and around protected areas. Supporting @printsforwildlife directly benefits these places and I couldn't be more thrilled that we will soon launch the third edition of the fundraiser to support @africanparksnetwork. Stay tuned for more! #printsforwildlife #africanparks #africanparksnetwork #akagera
The colors of #Kenya 🌙☀️💙 While you dri The colors of #Kenya 🌙☀️💙 While you drive in an open vehicle through the vast savannah plains of Southern Kenya the landscapes around you switch colors like a Pantone wheel. From dark night blues to golden tinted orange tones, there's not a color to be missed here. 😍 I don't know how I can better explain the feeling of this then by the often misused word M-A-G-I-C. There's nothing more immersive and calming than a safari. Period. Proof me wrong if you dare!
Elephant at the waterhole - as seen straight from Elephant at the waterhole - as seen straight from the lodge! 🐘 At Kipalo Hills you'll get treated to these views on a daily basis. The lodge is located in a private conservancy called "Mbulia Hills", directly adjacent to Tsavo West. The conservancy employs their own rangers plus additional staff to fill the waterholes once, twice a day - depending on the seasonality. 💧 When it's severly dry like it was in Kenya during our visit the elephant herds have the ability to smell water for vast distances and have learnt to rely on the support of humans in the process. Especially when all other sources dry up. 🌵 @marcuswestbergphotography has recently reflected about hands-off vs. hands-on conservation approaches and in this case it's another good example that without a hands-on approach these herds of elephants would not only suffer, but be gone. The reasons are equally man made in the end! The elephants access to water has been limited by human encroachment, human caused climate change and other impacting factors that are man made. So humans better also contribute to the solution of their problems. Once the elephants can go back to their natural (incredibly vast) habitats or have the availability to travel with climate, we can talk about a hands-off approach again.
Sweet memories of our beach stint in this Swahili- Sweet memories of our beach stint in this Swahili-style villa! 😍 I realize I haven't shared nearly enough impressions from this place in #Kenya - called Cardamom House. It's run by an Austrian-South African couple, which already makes for a great combination 😉 They renovated an old beach villa in a secluded bay just one hour North of Mombasa and turned it into this outstanding property! And yes, the dogs come with it! Sissi & Franz are the two ridgebacks that belong to the family - and if they stay at Cardamom House they are there as well. Making guests feel welcome from the start! Check out their other properties as well at @secludedafrica and in my blog post on thetravelblog.at 🙌 #magicalkenya #kuruwitu #cardamomhouse #secludedafrica #vipingo
Probably my favorite spot at Cardamom House in #Ke Probably my favorite spot at Cardamom House in #Kenya 🇰🇪 On this rooftop we enjoyed our welcome dinner under the beautiful thatched roof - watching the full moon as it rose out of the Indian ocean. The sound of swaying palm trees and the waves hugging the shore softly in the background. Can you tell I'd go back in a heartbeat? ♥️ Thanks again to the wonderful @secludedafrica team for having us. Check out thetravelblog.at for more impressions from this incredible place! #magicalkenya #kuruwitu #cardamomhouse #secludedafrica #vipingo
Did you know that Kenya's coastline is heavily inf Did you know that Kenya's coastline is heavily influenced by the Arabian peninsula and it's long lasting trade relations? 🇰🇪 The architecture at Kenya's coast is therefore a colorful mix of Arabic, Swahili, Afro chic design and architectural elements. You can find these in Watamu, Lamu and also here in #Kuruwitu at Cardamom House. 🌙 ✨😍 We stayed in this beach villa at the end of our last #Kenya trip and enjoyed our barefoot time thoroughly. The first photo shows the rooftop of one of the five villas, carefully decorated for a sundowner by the lovely team of @secludedafrica. Check out thetravelblog.at for more impressions from this beautiful place! #magicalkenya #kuruwitu #cardamomhouse #secludedafrica #vipingo
The tower suite. This is the most unique out of t The tower suite. This is the most unique out of the five villas at Cardamom House - serving not only as lookout platform, but it's also home to a guest suite and where sundowners are served on occasion. Each night the team of @secludedafrica surprises guests with different dinner or sundowner locations on the rooftops or the hidden nooks and crannies of the property. 😍 I hope you're not getting bored by my #Kenya throwbacks. Some of you know that I'm actually currently in Rwanda, but those photos will only be released when I return... keeping the anticipation high 😉 Therefore I'm still trying to convince one or another of you that Kenya is worth a trip 😊🇰🇪 But remind me again which African country isn't... 🤷🏻‍♀️😂 #magicalkenya #kuruwitu #cardamomhouse #secludedafrica #vipingo
Wild cats - undoubtedly some of the most photogeni Wild cats - undoubtedly some of the most photogenic animals on this planet. 🐆🦁🐆 I can't wait to kick off @printsforwildlife again soon, together with a group of oustanding wildlife photographers who dedicate months and years of their life to documenting and protecting these incredibly vulnerable species. The work they do is hard to fathom - how much dedication they put into their photos is something I'll be forever in awe of. My photos are mere snapshots in comparison 😊 But I'm also happy to announce that together with @pie_aerts - my Prints for Wildlife co-founder - I'll be travelling through Rwanda in the next two weeks. Finally getting to know the work @africanparksnetwork does on the ground - for the first time since we started the fundraiser back in 2020. 😍 We're super excited to visit two of their parks in Rwanda - Akagera and Nyungwe - showcasing just how diverse the biome is in this small Central African country. So stay tuned for more soon! Well and first enjoy this set of photos from my recent trip to Kenya 🇰🇪 #magicalkenya #maasaimara
At Kenya's secluded coast 🌴 It's still a myste At Kenya's secluded coast 🌴 It's still a mystery to me how we could have left out the coast during our first Kenya visit. Obviously safaris will always be the most captivating experience for me, but a few days of relaxation at the end of a trip to the bush don't hurt nobody 😉 Especially if it's at a location like Cardamom House by @secludedafrica! On thetravelblog.at I've recently shared all my tips for a #Kenya beach visit (well and for a full round trip of course) and why it's important to choose the right location if you're looking for relaxation at the Indian Ocean! Make sure to check it out if you're planning a trip. #magicalkenya #kuruwitu #cardamomhouse #secludedafrica #vipingo
