PLACES: KILIMO TALII MERU SOUTH AGRICULTURAL LODGE

2. KILIMO TALII MERU SOUTH AGRICULTURAL LODGE

Chuka- Meru Highway, just before you get to Chogoria. This place is just out of this world. The long green lawns, quiet ambience, outside air,  cozy  feel under umbrella trees that make you want to sit outside all day.

You haven't had a perfect getaway if you haven't spent a day or a weekend at Kilimo Talii lodge. You are looking for a quiet place to read your book while you enjoy a smoothie under the skies away from the hustle and noise in the towns, well, your troubles are done.

"I love going out, I really do.  And I miss being out there having fun and making some mistakes. But I have a family now, and kids to take care of" So many people can relate to this statement. 

PLACES

Hello people

Been gone for too long. But no chills. My weekend was great, super fun thank you God for the sunshine. Trust yours went well too.

Moving on from where we left last time.

Team let us explore Tharaka Nithi County.

3. THE MARIMANTI BAOBAB RESORT

Adventure lovers; get your travel bags ready. Your next weekend getaway with your loved one, family or friends is sorted. This place suits literally everyone. It’s a long journey. I would say it is tiring, but it’s filled with so much awe and breathtaking sites, I realized am tired when I finally took a rest in the evening.  Located in the woods, with a touch of human and luxury, the resort is the dream place for anyone who needs a one on one encounter with forest and adventure with a tip of good food and rest. From the old time rare tree species to the forever standing historic rocks, my geography knowledge from high school came back in full. Why didn’t you bring us here? Geography teacher?

The swimming pool

This place is at a hundred degrees, so a desired plunge into some cool waters would come in handy. I had to hold myself from getting a dip into this heavenly pool. And you do not have to worry about getting hot immediately! There is a generous supply of umbrella trees around. Do not worry about your angels! The baby pool is as sweet as they would want it. Afraid you might not be able to do your “deep diving”? There is four feet deep available for you. Hello, team lukewarm? You can hang around and dip your feet in the waters. It’s all I do! And until I try actual swimming, I want to believe that it is the best experience I can have around a pool.

The scenery

I would glare at something out of the norm for hours! I would watch birds fly for a whole day. Sit under a shade and enjoy the scenery! and this resort? I just couldn’t get enough. I mean, what’s not to love about the birds chirping the day away, the butterflies flying just past your face, ducks walking around the lawns while you sip your cold smoothie or fresh juice from the fully stocked bar?  Isn’t it just adorable? Sweet? Heavenly? 

And a family would not have to look for an extra yard place for the little ones. Its accommodates everyone.

Food food food food.

Call me a combiner, but food is a very essential component of any day away. Everyone needs a spoiler, once in a while. Why not take the ride to this place for the weekend and just eat your health away for a day or two? I got a taste of their chicken, and there is no looking back. If anyone can make chicken right, then they can make anything else under the cluster “food” right. And the chef here can make the chicken right. Make a date.

Take a rest, in cupid style

The cottages are just out of this world. Furnished to give you the homey feeling, without denying you the opportunity of remembering that you are on holiday and need to relax, and also reminding you that you can work boss. You can!

I would write an entire post about this place, but that will be giving you a whole experience. And clearly, any adventure lover, any site seer and any introvert swimmer looking for a place to do a meeting with self, has to find their way to this place.

Until then, I stole some memories for you.

4. THE RUKINDU COUNTRY LODGE

Been looking for home away from home? You are home.

Located off Chuka-Meru Highway, about five hundred meters from the Chuka Bonanza School, the lodge provides an ambience anyone would appreciate even without setting foot into the lodge. Clearly demarcated and fenced, you do not have to worry about a getaway place anymore when around Tharaka Nithi.

Bring the kids! 

There is enough lawn to play and fly the kites. And the swings when the running around gets boring.

While they play, enjoy their peace as you gulp down a drink of your choice from the open bar. From the carbonated and energy drinks, to the fresh fruit juices, to some alcoholic water, there is just enough space and ambience to engage in some “stories for Monday” behavior.

The lawns

While waiting for my pre-ordered meal to get ready, I lazed around and enjoyed the cool air seated on the lawn. This place is so homely; you could sit and glare all day. Stare at the blue skies, take a walk around. Whatever! Just enjoy the lawns. The next time does not always happen.

The architecture

Anyone enjoys spending some hours having some fun while feeding the eyes to some out of the norm views. I would not exactly find the words to define the view, but let me try…. Wooden curves, shaped up to form a dome with a rooftop canopy that you get to book beforehand. Sectioned up private booths where you get to have your personal space catered for inside the larger dome, and an out of the norm dance floor that makes you want to dance to the voices in your head. Did I do it right? My vocabulary ran out here. Probably the captions would do a better job. Humans are visual beings.

 

Your accommodation just the way you would love it on a night away from home.

King-size bed that springs you to Disney land, in a homey suite that provides you with all the features of a holiday, weekend away from home you want. You will want the nights to get longer. The good thing about it, far from the hype, and with a quiet neighborhood, you just get a feel of home, while you are completely and off away from it. You can work from these suites, you can do your morning workout here, and you can roll up when you want to do a movie on the wall. There is too much space!

And value for your money.

Ahem.

I am not doing a travel guide for myself or anyone to a place without good mouth awakening food! If it made it to my good books, then good food is available. I have a special attachment to what is on my plate every time a plate appears on my table, whether am at home or eating out.

You will not have to worry about health threats or cold food. Your meal is made on order. How you like it. Spicy? Check. Plain? Check. Sour? Check. Anyhow. Just do the order.

I had my good time here. This is probably one of my favorite joints around this county. Get your experience too. I did the pretesting for you. And trust me, I don’t lie. Unless I really have to, to save myself from a beating or something close to that. And I am not risking any beatings here. So…….

5. THE ECO LODGE-KAJUKI

Another adventure full getaway destination. I passed by this place late in the night, and the night life was just splendid. Too bad though, you only get the food as at now. The suites are still coming up. But take it from me; it’s going to be a heaven on earth for us when it’s done. I will want to spend a night or two in those suites. Am waiting on them like… so you’ll definitely know when they are done.

It was a splendid time taking rides to get more for this post for the fun lovers like myself. I trust you will enjoy the rides and places too.

Have a great Tuesday lovely people.

Mwende.

Diana Opoti: Homosexuals need fairness

FASHION communication and strategist Diana Opoti has written to President Uhuru Kenyatta urging him to review his stand regarding homosexuals in Kenya.
Opoti – who is currently running the second edition of her fashion initiative dubbed 100 Days of African Fashion – took to Facebook saying that homosexuals deserve to be treated fairly.
She wrote (verbatim): “Dear Mr President...I’m a straight woman ...I interact with gay and straight people alike. Our sexuality hardly comes up in conversation, we mostly exist as friends...coworkers ...partners...assuming a world of equality. You know...they don’t bite...sting...or offend us in any way. They want the same things we do..to be with the person they love. Why is that such a mission?”
“But you feel that “the majority in our society yes, do not wish to legalize, yes, this issue of gay rights.” Who’s the majority? Did we vote? Do you realize that your statement stamps the fate of many gay people who are then ostracized? Did we vote?
Who is the majority? Who gives us the right to judge and malign others of a different sexual orientation? Confused Kenyan citizen/ #NotTheMajority (sic),” she said.

Popular pastor's wife hangs out with drinking friends

The wife of a popular televangelist was spotted in one of the restuarants in Westlands, Nairobi, having jolly good time with her drinking friends. The female pastor was in the company of middle-aged women who were chugging expensive wine and imported beer at the restuarant.
However, the flashy woman of God ordered mocktails. Together with her husband, they are known for their ostentatious lifesyle. At the end of the evening when the bill was brought one would have expected the jet setting wife of the pastor to pay the bill for her pals but everyone chipped in and paid for the bill.
It goes to show that pastors' wives also have friends away from the flock. Friends who know how to live it up.

"MORGAN HERITAGE BRING MORE THAN JUST MUSIC TO KENYA

TOMORROW night, visiting reggae legends Morgan Heritage will thrill fans in a one off concert at KICC in Nairobi. However, the reggae royal family that jetted into Kenya on Tuesday night had a busy itinerary.

The Morgan Heritage full circle

On Wednesday, they visited Korogocho where they took part in a Miss Koch event where 40 children were presented with university scholarships to further their education .
"We are hoping that the visit by Morgan Heritage will shine a light into what Miss Koch is doing for the slum children," Tru Balq CEO Big Kev said."
Yesterday the Don Hafi Dread hitmakers had lunch at K'Osewe so as to have the best "Kenyan experience". After which they paid a courtesy call to Nairobi governor Evans Kidero at his office. Later that evening they attended a " private event".
Speaking of their experience in Kenya, Peetah Morgan said, "My most memorable moment of Kenya is when we had a road trip to Kisumu and had lunch at the shores of Lake Victoria." "They served us a big fish. I remember telling Peetah, 'This tastes like Jamaica'," Gramps Morgan added, "I took the fish and seasoned it my way."
Gramps went on to talk about his cook book that details the history of jerk seasoning. The book is published under his food line Gramps' Farms. The company was inspired by his late Mother Pearl, when he saw her chew and feed an old homeless woman sugar cane straight from her mouth because the old woman had no teeth to chew the sugar cane. Beside food, Gramps has a label that will also distribute Wyre's album outside Africa. Morgan Heritage fans who were expecting to see Una Morgan will be disappointed because she couldn't make it due to family obligations. Peetah explained, "Our sister is a mother as well as much as she would have loved to be here, her second son has started college in the USA and she had to be there for him. She promised to be here next time."

CHRIS BROWN WANTS AUSTRALIAN VISA TO DISCUSS "DOMESTIC VIOLENCE"

American star Chris Brown (pictured) says he wants to go to Australia to use his influence as an entertainer to raise awareness about domestic violence.He was commenting in a tweet to news at the weekend that he is unlikely to be given a visa to perform in Australia because of his domestic abuse record .
The singer is scheduled to go on tour in Australia in December. He was told on Sunday that he had 28 days to appeal against the decision .
"I would be more than grateful to come to Australia to raise awareness about domestic violence," Chris tweeted. "I'm not the pink elephant in the room anymore.My life mistakes should be a wake up call for everyone. Showing the world that mistakes don't define you. Trying to prevent spousal abuse."
In 2009, Chris Brown pleaded guilty to assaulting his then girlfriend, pop star Rihanna.

Local celebrities speak out on cyber-bullying

When news broke that a 19-year-old committed suicide after being sexually abused and bullied by her Facebook lover, the country was outraged. Cyber bullying had claimed yet another victim. NEWSPOT254 takes a close look at local celebrities who have gone through it and spoken out.

It takes a different kind of courage to stand tall in the face of malicious, targeted and constant criticism, and not many can claim to have it. From abusive text messages to personal insults on Twitter and Facebook,
cyber-bullying is on the rise. The latest victim? Nineteen-year-old Mercy Bundi.
We live in a culture of digital cruelty that no one is immune to. Whether you are a celebrity, the child of a public figure or the common mwananchi. Anyone can be a target.
However, celebrities are usually on the receiving end of vicious cyber bullying. And while some of them bury their heads in the sand and wait for it to blow over, others speak up. And like some of these celebrities, we should also take a stand.
Juliana Kanyomozi
Losing a loved one, more so a child is one the most heartbreaking experience anyone can go through
but many people did not think of this while attacking the beautiful songstress as she was mourning her son
last year. Instead of sympathising with the Ugandan songbird, social media users tore her down even more
by insulting and calling her offensive names.
Adelle Onyango
The radio presenter is no stranger to cyber bullying making her develop quite the thick skin. Sometime back, a social media user compared her to a monkey. Adelle used the opportunity to encourage others who might be going through the same. Posting the photoshopped meme showing the rude and insulting juxtaposition
of a monkey next to her, Adelle had this to say: “Bumped into this in my mentions. Ever since my first stint
with cyber bullying and being involved in the Inua Dada campaign handling bullying and its effects, I have done a lot of reading on it. Seeing the number of suicides linked to bullying broke my heart. Your memes/tweets etc could be the last nail in someone’s coffin…you ready to live with that? And #teamadelle y’all are young people some of whom are being bullied now…it is not a reflection of your character
or your beauty - no. But a reflection of the bully’s damaged character! I hope these words do something for you! Keep smiling!”
We hoped we’d heard the last of this tale, but another cyber bully targeted the presenter. Adelle confronted her saying that “she does not subscribe to her definition of beauty.”
Larry Madowo
The TV personality is no stranger to cyber bullets. He has been attacked mercilessly on countless occasions
on social media. Outrageous memes of the presenter have circulated online punctuated by disturbing captions.
Having had his fair share of online abuse and humiliation, Larry penned an unapologetic tell off article directed to online bullies. “Anybody who engages in cyberbullying is really just trying to cover up their own feelings of inadequacy and disillusionment with life,” he wrote in the September 2014 article.
Linda Nyangweso
After a photo of the bubbly radio presenter found its way to Twitter, a section of Kenyans on Twitter saw this as the perfect opportunity to attack the presenter over her weight. Here’s what she said; “OMG.Woke up this morning to realise people have discovered my secret: I’M FAT!!*#brushshoulder*#whatsnew
#livingmylifelikeitsgolde! LOL”
Linda went ahead to add that her “being a big girl isn’t exactly news let alone Kenya’s best kept secret.”
Janet Mbugua
The screen siren was trolled for being on screen while pregnant. The news anchor was bewildered when
she found herself in the midst of an Internet storm. One guy sent her a vicious tweet aimed at gnawing the sassy presenter’s self esteem. He tweeted , “Just wondering why Janet Mbugua must newscast in that condition. Never seen it before on Kenyan TV but I think it’s gross.”
Being human, Janet was rattled by the comment and cited being hurt. “I had sat in my car and was about
to turn on the ignition but the tweet stopped me dead in my tracks. I usually pay no mind to people trolling
me, that will always be there, but this was an insult to every expectant mother and I was deeply offended by
his ignorance, bullying and insensitivity…” she wrote on a blog post.
Janet was not to take this one sitting, so she slammed the trolls while simultaneously receiving outpouring support from a legion of social media followers.
