Welcome to Wajir - where resilience is built from Welcome to Wajir - where resilience is built from the land itself.

Wajir is a remote and rugged part of Northern Kenya 🇰🇪, close to the borders with Ethiopia 🇪🇹 and Somalia 🇸🇴.

Roughly 680 km from Nairobi and well off the usual tourist routes, reaching Wajir is an 11-hour journey across harsh, semi-desert terrain - a landscape that shapes both the lifestyle and the remarkable resilience of the people who call this region home.

The first photo captures traditional shelter built from branches, fabric, and resourceful everyday materials; a reflection of how communities here adapt to the environment using creativity, skill, and knowledge of the land.

Wajir isn’t just remote; it’s a place of strength, culture, and an enduring relationship with nature.

Portraits from Wajir, Northern Kenya - a region wh Portraits from Wajir, Northern Kenya - a region where resilience is woven into everyday life.

There’s a quiet power in the people here… a strength shaped by the land, the climate, and a deep sense of community.

These moments capture not just faces, but each tells a special story: of culture, identity, and the beauty found in places the world rarely sees.

More portraits and stories from my time in Wajir coming soon.

This photograph was taken at a masjid in Wajir, a remote and beautiful corner of Northern Kenya 🇰🇪 not far from the borders of Ethiopia 🇪🇹 and Somalia 🇸🇴.

There’s something captivating about the simplicity and character of the architecture here… a reminder of how deeply faith and community shape everyday life in this region.

Over the coming days, I’ll be sharing more images from my past journeys to Wajir; a place full of stories, colours, contrasts, and culture.
Stay tuned!

A curious welcome from Crescent Island, Naivasha. A curious welcome from Crescent Island, Naivasha. 

Habari za asubuhi / good morning!
Nothing quite says “Karibu Kenya” like being greeted by one of Crescent Island’s most charming residents. This giraffe leaned in with the perfect mix of curiosity and confidence, reminding me why Naivasha is one of the most unforgettable wildlife spots in the country.

Up close, their gentle expressions, long lashes, and natural elegance make every encounter feel personal, almost as if they’re saying karibu to their world.

Crescent Island always delivers moments like this: raw, unexpected, and beautifully alive.

Urban conversations. Two city guardians sharing se Urban conversations. Two city guardians sharing secrets above Westlands, Nairobi.

High above the noise of Westlands, Nairobi, these two birds paused in perfect symmetry, almost as if caught in a quiet conversation. There’s something remarkable about how wildlife adapts to city life, carving out moments of connection even between concrete and skyline.

In a place known for its energy, innovation, and movement, this still moment feels like a reminder: Nature is always watching, always present, always speaking, if we pause long enough to notice.

📍 Westlands, Nairobi, Kenya
📸 Captured in a fleeting moment of balance between the wild and the urban.
