A search team on Mt Everest has found the body of missing Kenyan mountaineer Cheruiyot Kirui. The patrol is also focusing on finding a Nepali climber Nawang Sherpa, whose fate is still unknown (was missing with him). Both went missing after attempting to summit Everest without oxygen last Monday.
The climbers had only hired services until Base Camp. They used the fixed ropes but climbed without supplementary oxygen or personal sherpa support. According to the new mandates for Everest, the outfitting agencies are responsible for bringing the bodies down. At that altitude, this is no small task. We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family and friends during this time of sorrow. Rest in peace, Cheruiyot.

The rich history of Ngong hills

An old photo of Ngong hills.

According to the Agikuyu community the fourth mountain used by God as one of his dwelling place was that known to the Kikuyu as kīambi-rūirū. This means " the very black mountain" and is due to the fact that the mountain range _ the Ngong hills - always has a dark appearance. It is also the reason why there are numerous shrines and many religious groups used for prayer. It is also the reason that those who visit always can't understand why they experience a calming effect and always want to go back.

THE Ngong HILLS are a mystical magical place with lush green trees and bushes all around after a long drought.
When the noise gets too much
when the chaos is makin' you go nuts
head for the hills you know and love.

These are the images captured through the lens of a photographic artist Agoro.

Musambwa island is a superstitious island in the interior of Lake Victoria.
This Island derives its name from a local dialect Musambwa which literally means gods/ spirits in Luganda and appear in form of snakes.

This name came about due to the overwhelming number of snakes in the area which are believed to be spirits rather than normal snakes.

Within an area of five acres and a population of less than 100 people, there are more than 2000 snakes that inhabit the island, it’s a ratio of over 20 snakes per person.

There is a myth in this place says that a female and a male spirit came to the lake and separated, therefore the male spirit occupied the busier island which led to prohibition of women and s*x on this island in order to please the gods/spirits. Therefore, no woman will be allowed on this island and men who wants to have s*x, goes to the mainland which is about 10 km away
