ELEPHANT THOUGHTS

Inagural World Elephant Day 2012

" One of the faliures that could come from any leadership is when a leader considers himself to have the monopoly of all knowledge.

Once you have that attitude, you become impervious to more wisdom.

So one thing that I would like to stress to all educated young people is that there is always something more to learn.

Always have your ears open, your eyes open, and your humility in your heart.

You will survive. "

DR. JULIUS GIKONYO KIANO

1926 - 2003



The home of this fine man, hears. His Grand Daughters are a testimony. They love too, too much. True Warriors.

KENYA MAKING WAVES AT THE OLYMPICS!

Miles High

Cool Bags thought to share some of the happenings that caught our attention in last June's Newsletter. The travel section was literally hard!


Here goes.

Of Madness & Badness

It all about hedonism this one & a generation of luxury.

Warming up this very cold June, we thought to bring a few laughs by showcasing some seriously glam lifestyles & travel options out there.

So to run with this theme, over in Travel it’s a jet-set off to a pious destination which could only have been thought of by rich -to make them famous! Then, we just had to run with a potentially very seriously wicked travel option. This one surely must have been conjured up to increase membership interest in that Mile High Club.

Keeping the same game going, in the Book quarter we feature the newly released book on Elizabeth Taylor & Richard Burton, which stands as a great portrait of high maintenance troubled living. During our research though, we found a gem on Elvis published early this year which aptly, fits in with this issue.

And then taking the flow home, in Foreign Times which zooms in on what’s happening abroad & what the world is wearing, we glimpsed at Royal Ascot stimulated fashion match ensembles -should easily find favour here at home with the Kenyan wedding season abound.

Fun reading & let the travels begin!

Ticket To Heaven

You may have sold your soul long ago, but what a comfort it is to know that you can buy it back. For $15,000, a company called Remote Lands will organize an eye-opening journey in the grandest of style. Partake in a private tea & lunch session with His Holiness the Dalai Lama at his private residence in the Tsuglakhang Complex.

A380 Singapore Airlines

Nice For Naughty

This one, is not for sharing with His Holiness. The A380 flight between Singapore & Australia by Singapore Airlines, has on board 12 double suites complete with closable doors, & get this, beds made up with Givenchy duvets & pillows!  Joining that illustrious club in the sky has never been made easier. This flight captures the sheer experience in upper-class hedonism.

From $7,343 round trip.

Wailing Rich

The Burtons gave value. Jet-set life, indulgences in luxury, fabled screaming matches & sexual provocations.  This new book offers the binges & bling, revealing a portrait of the magnetic qualities—her vulgar warmth, his soulful virility—that glued the couple together.

Hounded Dog

Published in January 2010 Baby Let’s Play House: Elvis Presley & His Women focuses on Elvis’ bizarre history with women. It collects all the madness, badness & sadness of the Elvis myth. Revelations are shocking, sometimes amazing, always fascinating.

MONTH’S COOL FIND



Alfajiri Villas -South Coast



Tanzanite by Lapigems

Flowing with the theme of glam, we take a peek at some devastatingly romantic spots in Kenya that are just perfect for making that very special proposal. Mixed in is what to take with you, such as the ring designed by a world renowned Nairobi based firm.

Cool Bags is all about the highlight that Kenyan service providers are on par with the rest of the world.

No room in the inn for Jackalina



Overlooking the lawn at Murangi Home



Seeped in an aura of quiet elegance around a neighbourhood literally to die for, is a rather delectable guest house which in the real world should be home to Whoopi Goldberg.



Shenzi, Simba, Nala & Zazu in Lion King



Most dissimilar in style to Ms. Shenzi Marie Predatora  Veldetta  Jackalina Hyena (Shenzi kind of means idiot/fool/twit in Swahili) Murangi Home, in the behaviour of spotted female Hyenas however, dominates a patch of beautiful living right next to Nairobi National Park.

On a spot Rowan Atkinson would be hard pressed to zazu about, where a brooding Jeremy Irons should be photographed in Black and White by Nick Ysenberg, this soothing little haven offers sanctuary from that madding crowd next door. A 6 bedroom fully serviced home complete with turn down services and a wicked Chef, guests at this spot are spoilt for choice who to hang out with every day. 

Baby Elephant at David Sheldrick

 Near the home of BBC's 'Elephant Diary', with the snappy Crocs of Nairobi Mamba up the road and a Rothschild or 2 further up, Murangi which means Bamboo in the  Kikuyu language, opened her doors last month to a roaring start.

Check it out on FB and unwrap this Hakuna Matata kind of place.
