The rains have been good this year, the Cheetas, impalas, bush duikers, guinea fowl, lions and the many animals of Africa are everywhere, the is dung everywhere. We are on our way to Shaba in the north of Laikipia in Kenya.It is a two hour drive from Nanyuki. We see a river the Ewaso Nyiro at times it bursts its banks however to day it meanders tirlessly navigating is way through the meanders formed from years of existence it’s gorges deep, they seem to deepen each year, some day we shall not be able to see the water except for a deep valley and some sound of flowing water will tell you that there is river. We reach our camp site, the tents are pitched and this time they are large, there a few other visitors also at the campsite. My friends love nature and quickly jump for the tent idea. The sun sets steadily and as the night closes we here elephants in the distance, once they have passed we light our fire, and cook our food roasted beef and ‘Ugali’ a favorite in this part of the world. After a heavy meal we lie down and focus on the milky way. a night game drive is the last action of the night, a few animals still grazing in the moonlight. We finally snuggle into our sleeping bags. Africa the land of wild wild wild dreams…

South Africa has fallen in love with Indian inspired couture this summer; from linen tunics, draped pants, and saris customized in fabrics like silk, chiffon, muslin, and linen SUTRAâ?¢ MAGAZINE.

“Garments from designers such as Ritu Kumar, Ritu Beri, Rina Dhaka, Muzaffar Ali, Satya Paul, Rohit Bal, Tarun Tahiliani, and Manish Malhotra are some of the well known fashion designers in India whose collections are wowed in South Africa.”, says SUTRAâ?¢.

According to the SUTRAâ?¢ team, “Indian fashion envelops a wide assortment of garments from elaborate ensembles designed for highly sophisticated events to, informal wear. Traditional Indian embroidery and authentic Indian fabrics are used by designers in conjunction with wooden beads and African weaves and to create Indo-African clothing in a fusion that comes together strikingly”.

Scarves (dupatta) are all the rage this summer; as a fashion garment it is an attractive accessory that looks stylish and breaks the dullness of everyday clothing.

Outfits can be dressed up or down when worn with a heavily embellished dupatta decorated with sequins or a cool cotton scarf with a beaded border to add colour and dimension. Altering the manner in which it is worn can give your outfit a makeover for the better.

This season fashion designers are making use of African prints coupled with Indian bauble and spangle that creates and further enhances the contrasting themes that merge so fittingly. Kurthis and tunics laden in beading, in colours like indigo, brick red, grey black and mustard yellows are produced from raw silk by new age designers.

SUTRAâ??s editorial team believes that, “summer of 2007 / 2008 in S.A screams, less is more that is, when it come to make up! Shimmers and glosses are in; while heavy make up flies out the window. For those who like subtlety, a matte finish will do best. For an evening out on the town, the rouge, and lips should be toned down to complement darker shades on the eyelids and heavily lined eyes that finish the Indian traditional look.”

SUTRAâ??s Fashion Editor says, “Eye-catching accessories like stunning crystals and weighty dark wood and amber neck pieces create the perfect Indo-African fusion to such an extent that there is little noticeable distinction. Dress your hair down for a more relaxed look; while stylish up dos are substituted by big buns!”

Woni Safarisbelieve in the conversation of Kenya’s inheritance, their wildlife. While other Africa countries pride themselves in having natural minerals like gold and diamonds and oil, in Kenya their pride lies in the conservation of their wildlife and more so the endangered species. Woni Safaris are the official tour operators for The Friends of The Elephant. They have been providing services to the foster parents of Friends of the Elephants since their inception up to date. The number of the foster parents has been on the rise every year from the initial 11 persons to the current approximate over 100 Persons. Some of their consideration areas include:

Conservation of their Environment: Woni Safaris work with local schools in Kenya on tree planting projects where by they accord their clients to leave a mark when they came on safari by planting a tree.

Conversation of the African Culture: Woni Safaris, are very proud of the African culture and are proud to showcase it to their clients. They give their clients an opportunity to visit and interact with the local communities.

Education: Their clients also get an opportunity of visiting local schools where they have child sponsorship projects as well as donating of schoolbooks, sports uniforms and accessories.

Poverty Alleviation: Woni Safaris have incorporated Eco tourism as one of their main products and this has proved to be very popular with their past clients. They donate a percentage of all the activities they undertake during their eco tours at the places they visit. This generates income for different projects as well as giving the local community another alternative of earning a living as opposed to activities, which destroy the environment such as sand harvesting and tree cutting for fire wood.

The clients undertake the above projects after they see the needs of concerned communities as follows:

The Education Sponsorship: When Woni Safaris take their clients to visit the Masai in their villages, the clients get to notice that some girls as young as 14 years old with young babies strapped at their backs. Almost always travelers want to know why these children do not go school and are informed that the young girls are people’s wives as the Masai community marry off their girls because the younger they are, the more dowry they fetch.

The Tree Planting Project: On one of the development charts of the school Woni Safaris visits, top on the list was “fencing of the school compound”. This was so that the school can embark on tree planting project without fear of domestic animals from the surrounding village destroying the young trees. One client took note of this and when she went back home, she started fundraising for tree seedlings for this school for a dollar a tree and this was very successful.
