Going on a Beer trip?

You may be thinking that i must have miss-spelt the beer and should actually be bear? Well nope! My spelling is very correct.Today  being a Friday, i felt we should discuss BEER trips which are seemingly becoming very common especially in Europe and i must admit...Kenyans are also following the trend!

Beer trips are famous with young people and the young at heart, with soccer and rugby fans being the most notorious with these trips! So the ultimate question must be, what exactly do you do on a beer trip?! According to yahoo travel.co.uk, the top 5 things to do while on a beer trip?
1. Tastes as many beers as possible
2. Match beer with great food (I would vouch for Nyama Choma - the typical Kenyan Barbecue!)
3. Visit a brewery
4. Talk beer to locals
5. Give the beer a rest!!

I know, number 5 is a killer! I laughed my eyes out...! As mentioned Europe is the leading for these beer trips and in Particular...Germany! According to Live-like-a -German.com website the top places to have a beer trip would be:
1. Munich
2. Bavaria
3. Alpirsbach
4. Cologne
5. Jever
6. Bremen

So as a weekend challenge i thought to myself,where in Kenya  are there lots of places where you can have a beer trip, Nairobi the capital city being the party topper but exact spots...hmmmm? I could think of a few, say Westlands, Langata area, Central business district and so much more..But of the cities and towns in Kenya, Mombasa is great but i believe Malindi is a winner!

Do you agree with me if you are in Kenya or have been here? And if your not a resident in Kenya, tell me of where in your area you think a beer trip would work?

Great weekend! :)

Top World Health Retreats and Programs : Why they are becoming a No 1 holiday choice

These days all people talk about is how they need to loose weight or build their muscles or keep fit both mentally and physically! This is one of the driving points as to why many people are opting for a health retreat holiday, other than the normal holiday getaway. Resorts, hotels and lodges have come to the realization that people no-longer want just the ordinary spa treatments but want and crave for more!This in-turn has led to an increase of health retreats, yoga and meditation programs being offered in the resorts and according to  http://www.gayot.com/ the below are the top 5 health retreats in the world!

 1. California Health & Longevity Institute, USA

2. Canyon Ranch Miami Beach, USA 

3. Lilianfels Blue Mountains Resort and Spa, Australia 

4. Zamani Zanzibar (Kempinski), Tanzania

5. Les Sources de Caudalie, France 

With this list i thought of which would be termed as the top health retreats in Kenya, and this is what i came up with;

1. Diani Reef Beach and Spa, Diani Beach

2. Samburu Saruni (Well being space), Samburu Game Reserve

3. Suyian Soul, Suyian Ranch - Laikipia

According to you, which resort,hotel or lodge, do you feel has the best health retreat, spa, meditation, yoga or well being treatments?

Inspirational Nature

A few days ago i read a blog that spoke about how sometimes we bloggers loose motivation and it is sometimes good to have a source of inspiration. I know at times i get a little bit (OK ..a lot) too critic about my blogs and more often it is negative criticism.Today,i felt that it would be good to blog beautiful images that may remind me of why i started to blog (my love for nature,conservation, wildlife and life as a whole) plus why i love to write (the message and satisfaction it gives me). I hope that this will serve as a start and that in future i will post more inspirational material.

MOTIVATION....

INSPIRATION...

Against all odds; SKY IS THE LIMIT

Always remember that what you write/ post content , it will always act as a inspiration and motivation to someone out there! It is important to think, act and write positive because we need to channel POSITIVITY in our world!

A Lover of the Beest !

If you are a lover of wildlife, i guess by now you know that the great wildebeest migration in the Masai Mara has just started!The migration occurs annually between the months of July till late September, with over 1. 3 million wildebeest and over 300,000 Zebras crossing from the Serengeti Park in Tanzania,across the Mara river into the Masai Mara Park! The migration has been dubbed as a World Wonder and each year the wonder seems to leave us in more marvel!
