  • We had another really great day in Kibirichia, which is George’s favorite place on Earth!
    We visited family, ate mukimo and went on a peaceful walk. We even saw elephants on our way home!
    Thanks for watching 🇰🇪♥️

    Makenze you are at it again. Taking me down memory lane. When at Liam's age in the 60s we used to visit my grandparents with dear mum now heading 90s. . These were moments I still cherish more so the hospitality of the elderly. We can't outdo them . George and mekenze you will be repaid this in old age.

    What more can one ask for. Visit grandparents, one with nature, just being free to top it up you get to see an elephant a few feet from you.. a mini safari. I mean when does this really happen. Your kids honestly will remember these moments. Whilst Kids in USA, schools have become danger zones having to worry about shootings and then go home and get caged in the house.

You know that is a great job you are doing, and your love story paints a beautiful picture wich says: it don't matter how poor you are but if you are a normal person, invest all your energies and if needs be money on a life you would like to live in the future.🔥💞🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥✌🏽

    George reminds me of this Nigerian vloger visiting Kenya. he went to Nomads in Jadini and they had Mukimo. He tried it and Man when he ate it he said it was his best food ever in Kenya and even Nigeria. And if you know Nigerians, they are very particular of their foods and to say that Mukimo he ate is the best food ever that speaks volumes. he kept saying why Kenyans have been hiding Mukimo from him. he said he will learn how to cook it before he leaves for Nigeria.
