Maasai Mara visitors dropped by almost 50% from 420,000 in 2023 to 213,000 in 2025.

The decline is linked to increased higher entry fees, with tourists shifting to cheaper parks like Amboseli and Tanzania’s Serengeti.

In Feb, I shared a platform with @KokiOchieng & @Zippy_okoth to discuss feminism and media safety @africamediafest. I had a great time connecting with journalists, creators & media leaders from all over Africa who unpacked "Resilient Storytelling" theme & the future of media.

#Kenya Says Goodbye to @RailaOdinga. A man who spent decades in the trenches of our democracy, now his final journey ends in Bondo. Whether they called him Baba, Tinga, or Jakom, everyone knew his name. What will his legacy mean for today’s #politics? #RailaTheEnigma

Call for Innovations! With support from the @novonordiskfdn and in collaboration with Elrha, we invite applications for innovative solutions to treat or prevent cardiometabolic diseases (CMD) in humanitarian settings across Sub-Saharan Africa.

Why it matters:
💠 CMDs like diabetes, hypertension & cardiovascular disease are rising across the region.
💠 In humanitarian crises, access to care is often disrupted.
💠 Many solutions exist but remain undocumented and under-recognized.
By identifying and sharing these innovations, we aim to:
✔️ Strengthen evidence for better decision-making.
✔️ Inform global practice.
✔️ Drive commitments from funders and implementers to scale up what works.
📅 Application Deadline: October 3, 2025

For more information, please contact Dr. Shivani Patel at [email protected].
