I owe my trip to Tanzania to Anja Blue and Carsten Weisner .When Anja and Carsten started planning their riding tour from Kenya to South Africa, we agreed on riding together in Kenya from Naivasha to Lake Baringo.

I haven’t traveled much. I can count the places I have been to and not exhaust my fingers. I love travelling though but this confession does not support my love for travel.
