SEBASTIAN WANZALLA @WANZALLA who took this magnificent photograph while on location in Turkana, tells us it how it came about: We were working on this campaign trying to find ways of creating awareness about nutrition and sanitation. This woman, Mama Safi, has been working in the region talking to communities about sanitation issues, including the importance of using latrines and washing hands. She has been very influential. We were sitting down, and I asked her, “What do you like doing the most?” And she said singing, and she started to sing. And then she started to dance, and I took the photograph.
Amanda Sperber Writer Will Somalia Be Your Next Weekend Getaway? Page 38 Coping in Somalia: I love being in Somalia! I manage going there the same way you’d make adjustments to any new country. In this case, it’s respectful to dress modestly, so I make sure I pack lots of colourful scarves and long skirts. When I’m in Somalia, I pretty much live in mumus (a loose dress) so I always bring a handful of those. My kind of travel: My favourite way to travel is to embrace where I am and go with the flow. I’ve taken amazing road trips through the Balkans, and zonked on the beaches of Zanzibar. It’s all good.
Katy Fentress Writer Weekend Away in Nanyuki, Page 45 My Nanyuki: Nanyuki feels like it hides the promise of some great adventure to come. In addition to that, I find being in the shadow of a mountain as majestic as Mt Kenya incredibly humbling. My kind of travel: My parents made sure our trips included lots of down-to-earth accommodation with some luxury thrown in at the end to reward ourselves for having “roughed it.” It is a philosophy I brought with me into my adult life: I prefer to go super basic and then round it off with somewhere astounding, than to aim for something middle of the road that lacks character.
Peter Ndung’u Photographer Top Shots, Page 13 How did you get started in photography? I started out shooting events and fashion shows for free with a borrowed camera from a neighbour and just kept going. Eventually, I found a love for the outdoors and kept pursuing it through small trips with friends and hanging out with other photographers. My kind of travel: My favourite type of travel involves planned road trips with a few hitches. Those ones always have the best stories. But realistically, I like good company, good food and interacting with good people in the most scenic places.
