<p>When tourists go to Kenya, they rarely think beyond the Masai Mara. Recently, I had the opportunity to explore Lake Naivasha, a stunning reflective lake located in the heart of Kenya, around two hours away from Nairobi. On the way to MGM Muthu Lake Naivasha Country Club, I crossed the stunning rift valley - a 9600 km stretch of breathtaking valley landscape located between Mozambique and the Red Sea. I didn’t need to venture further, I was greeted by over fifteen zebras, a few wild beasts and some water bucks as soon as I entered the property gates - my fellow residents during my stay.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Lake Naivasha is also home to Crescent Island, the shooting location of ‘Out Of Africa’, and it still houses giraffes, waterbuck, zebras, gazelles, wild beasts, ostriches, and the occasionally spotted dik diks. I had the pleasure of walking close to a giraffe mother and a giraffe baby and saw the baby sucking milk from the mother - a truly rare sighting. I was also lucky to spot a water rat.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

Inside Crescent Island

<p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Beyond the wildlife at Crescent Island, Muthu Lake Naivasha has some visitors from the animal kingdom every night - resident hippos who hibernate in the lake waters during the day, step out on the grassy fields of the property at night to feed. A guide is required at all times while walking on the property between 6 pm and 6 am to avoid close interaction with the hippos.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Seeing the hippos made me realise how animals and humans can coexist in the same place along with other species. It’s a different way to live - something one can only experience in countries in Africa. The experience of seeing unique animals living together made me reflect on theories from the ice age, Darwin’s theories on evolution and climate change.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>At the property, I experienced serenity and a home away from home. A true feeling of comfort since all the food was labelled with green and red dots just like India, clearly differentiating vegetarian food from non-vegetarian food. Some deserts were also labelled eggless. The in-house Indian expertise chef served me aloo parathas, piping hot biryani, vegetarian pizza and poha for breakfast. The food was much needed after a long day of exploration and travel.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Hell's Gate, a highlight sightseeing area around Lake Naivasha, is around 20 minutes away from the property. At Hells Gate, I saw some hyraxes but was more awed by the hellish landscapes, which looked otherworldly. Hell's Gate also had a canyon where I walked and explored the site where Mufasa from The Lion King fell down from the cliff. In Hells Gate, I was lucky to spot Elands and the African Buffalo. It was interesting to learn that African Buffalos are actually more aggressive than lions. We also spot a massive herd of male Impalas, they were the rejected impalas from the herd, also called the “loser impalas” because they lost the herd females to a dominant impala. The dominant impala would now enjoy the company of the females for over four months.</p>

The African Buffalo

Herd of Impalas

<p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Before leaving Hell's Gate, we chanced upon a cliff which was covered with a white shade. I learned that was the cliff of the vultures, and the white shade was their poop - high in calcium due to bone feeding activities. An interesting day in the park indeed, filled with learning and exposure to wildlife, their ways of living, unique habitats and activities.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Not too far from Lake Naivasha, the stunning Nakuru National Park is worth exploring. Popular for the rhinos and birding experiences, Lake Nakuru was one of the most unique parks I explored in Kenya. Seeing five rhinos line up and walk in a straight line and cross the road was not on my Kenya wildlife sighting bingo card.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Everyone who knows Kenya knows how rare it is to spot one rhino, let alone five. As of August 2025, the Southern white rhino population in the world is estimated to be around 15725. However, a significant number of initiatives are directed at conserving the species. The Northern White Rhino is a close-to-extinct species, with the last male Sudan having passed away and only two female rhinos left on planet Earth. It’s disheartening to see the extinction of a species. It made me reflect on how Africa is one of the only continents with prevailing biodiversity and wildlife.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

Nakuru National Park

<p> </p><p> </p><p>Nakuru National Park also houses a lake which has innumerable flamingos, pelicans and unique species of birds. It was fascinating to see so many birds in the same area during sunrise hours. Every national park in Kenya is known for something unique. For instance, the hyraxes I saw in Hell’s Gate, I didn’t see anywhere else. Flamingoes and rhinos in Nakuru National Park are what make it unique. The Masai Mara is known for lions and cheetahs specifically.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>There is a Kenya which exists beyond the Masai Mara and it’s worth exploring. On the way back from Lake Naivasha, I stayed at MGM Muthu Sovereign Suites and Spa, a stunning heritage property located in Limuru, amidst flower plantations. The property has some scenic points to explore around as well as flower gardens you can explore with a special appointment. While my trip to Kenya was defined by wildlife, Limuru was certainly a great space to stay back and relax. I enjoyed a spa at the property which helped me to relax and detox after long travels. It was truly much needed.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>For me, Masai Mara was a part of my Kenya trip but I made sure not to miss out on any of the other gems of Kenya - each a highlight in itself. Game drives across national parks with a lot of rest and relaxation makes for a wonderful holiday.</p>

When one thinks of travelling to Kenya, one mostly thinks of Masai Mara. But there are other places in Kenya which are also equally exciting and rich in flora and fauna like Lake Naivasha which is a two hours drive from Nairobi.

Trump alleges the editing of his January 6, 2021 speech made it appear that he had explicitly urged supporters to attack the Capitol, where lawmakers were certifying Democrat Joe Biden's 2020 election victory.

The head of the BBC on Wednesday ordered a "fast-tracked" internal investigation into the "serious mistake" that saw a racist slur aired during the BAFTA awards. Tourette's sufferer John Davidson, who inspired one of the winning films, has said he is "deeply mortified" after shouting the N-word at the London film and television awards ceremony, which he said was caused by an "involuntary tic". He was heard shouting as "Sinners" actors Delroy Lindo and Michael B Jordan, who are both black, presented an award for special visual effects in the movies at the ceremony. The investigation will probe why the slur was aired despite there being a two-hour delay between filming and the broadcast and why it remained on the BBC's streaming service iPlayer until the following morning. "The BBC has been reviewing what happened at BAFTA on Sunday evening," the broadcaster said in a statement. "This was a serious mistake and the Director-General (Tim Davie) has instructed the Executive Complaints Unit (ECU) to complete a fast-tracked investigation and provide a full response to complainants," it added. The probe was welcomed by Culture Minister Lisa Nandy, who described the broadcasting of a racial slur as "completely unacceptable and harmful". "The BBC must ensure that this never happens again," she said. The controversy comes after another damaging episode during the BBC's Glastonbury festival coverage in June 2025. Staff failed to pull a livestream of a performance by Bob Vylan after the punk-rap duo's frontman led the crowds in an anti-Israel chant. The BBC later apologised and said it would no longer live-broadcast musical performances it deemed to be "high risk". - Concerns - According to the UK's domestic PA news agency, film studio Warner Bros was believed to have raised immediate concerns about the racial slur at Sunday's BAFTAs and requested it be removed from the broadcast. But it could still be heard when it aired two hours later. Tourette's campaigner Davidson said he believed the BBC should have "worked harder" to ensure his offensive words were not broadcast. "I have made four documentaries with the BBC in the past and feel that they should have been aware of what to expect from Tourette's, and worked harder to prevent anything that I said ... from being included in the broadcast," he told US trade magazine Variety. The BAFTA broadcast is the latest scandal to hit the BBC. Davie is due to leave his post in April after he resigned in November over the editing of a documentary about US President Donald Trump. The president has filed a $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the BBC over the edit for its flagship current affairs programme "Panorama". Trump alleges the editing of his January 6, 2021 speech made it appear that he had explicitly urged supporters to attack the Capitol, where lawmakers were certifying Democrat Joe Biden's 2020 election victory.
