Meet Koki the Kenya Airways Dreamliner female pilot!


Ms. Irene Koki Mutungi, She is the first female pilot in Africa to be licensed to fly Boeing 787 Dreamliner. Captain Koki is highly regarded having flown the state-of-the-art super-efficient airplane from Charleston, South Carolina, and delivered Kenya Airways 4th Dreamliner to our very own Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.
The crew in the dreamliner also included a female flight purser, Load master and cabin crew.  Captain Koki has worked with the airline for almost two decades and flown several other planes to different destinations.
 Welcoming the dreamliner was the finance director Alex Mbugua who had this to say “This is a historical moment for Kenya Airways as we have proved to the world and our aviation peers of our deliberate commitment to human resource development by providing an equal opportunity to our sisters. I look forward to a day in the near future when this aircraft will be managed 100 per cent by ladies crew now that we already have two first officers undergoing certification.” 

















The touchdown was matched to the tunes of local dancers and the Kenya Airport Authority fire brigade with their ceremonial water cannon showers.

Ms. Irene Koki Mutungi, whose father was also a pilot with Kenya Airways has made history in Africa and has set a great example to all aspiring lady pilots.

MASHUJAA DAY CELEBRATION


Mashujaa Family Fun Packages | Mashujaa Day Travel Offers |Discounted Mashujaa day Getaways

This is a day set apart in the Kenyan calendar as a national holiday to appreciate and recognize our freedom through struggle from the colonial regimes from the British.

The first Mashujaa day was celebrated in Kenya on the 20th October 2010 after the name was changed from the old name of Kenyatta day and as there was a campaign in the same as to rename the holiday to appreciate the many Kenyans who fought and put their life on the line for the sake of our freedom from a colonized nation.

This day has also brought recognition for our sportsmen and women men and ordinary people   who have done extra ordinary achievements for this nation of Kenya making us proud.

 The success of the change of name for this day was made a reality for the first time with the promulgation of the new constitution in Kenya.
The man who has been in the front line campaign for the renaming  of this day  is known as Man Nzoro who proposed this due to the fact that Kenya was not liberated by one person and so the Mashujaa day name was most relevant to let
all the freedom fighters feel honored for their great life struggles to make Kenya a free state as we also put to mind the current wars that we are still lacking  to free this nation from famine, lack of basic amenities within our counties marginalized people and areas due to their   tribe, poverty and  such issues should be addressed as there is still oppression felt in this nation of  Kenya.


Mashujaa day meaning heroes day should be celebrated in style  with the reflection on the milestones this country has made since liberation from colonial ties and this day should bring abroad the road map for a better nation thus our current leaders should have a clear map and direction ensuring  that this country is free from the past struggles over the centuries and it should bring along the highlights on the  development of this nation on a forward gear  to make this nation have admiration to the rest of the world enabling us to gain more on investors.




 Fountain safaris have ensured that you will Celebrate this day in style as you tour this beautiful nation with great people, wildlife, parks, for the best and pocket friendly tours You can check our Mashujaa  getaways HERE

Get Your Reward When You Travel


There are many reasons we travel. Sometimes you are required by circumstance for example a wedding in the family, or you are going for honeymoon or bereavement in friend’s family. Then you find yourself miles away from home.  But there are other times when you schedule on your diary, that this weekend I want to tour the Mara or London or Paris to see the Effie tower. No matter the circumstance there are immense benefits for traveling.
I will take you through 5 great rewards you get when you travel

Travel awakens your brains
Being in the same environment over and over again creates a norm which is not healthy and makes us so dormant but try at least once a month to move out from your comfort zone called home go even though it’s your next hometown you will realize later how much knowledge you have, how exposed you are to different culture and thus will help you to cope with different people and will make you an excellent leader.

Meet new faces
When you move away from your work station or residence it will help you meet new people who you could have never met, this will help you add your list of friends and nothing good like having friends all over the world you will always have a person to help you when you are in shit anywhere in the world. Maybe you are New York and you miss your flight and you don’t have a clue of a hotel which will meet your budget but your friend will always be there. Getting new knowledge from your new friends can be really helpful maybe you have been struggling with a problem and your new friends maybe the sent saviour to help you out.

See life from another perspective
What makes us continue with racism, tribalism is that we love looking one side of thecoin and mostly the negative one but don’t want to turn it over. But fear of change is the cause of our ignorance not until you travel it’s when you will stop looking at things like our grandfathers did.


Build confidence   

When you move from your usual place – your comfort zone - and go to a place you have never been,and get involved in  new activities, this creates confidence and  resilience to try some more and to conquer new frontiers in your social and business life.




Creating memories
There is nothing great like hear people narrate stories of their childhood what they did, where they were taken by their parents, at the moment it just occur like you are having fun not until you realize the good memories that were created out of the fun. When you travel to a new place it’s very easy to remember that moment even in your old age, and to narrate it to other people who have never gone makes it more fun.
As St. Augustine says the world is a book and those who don’t travel read only one page.

WHY EYGPT AND ISRAEL THIS NOVEMBER



Do not miss the fun going down this November in Egypt and Israel great countries with a lot of adventures and developments to see.  Group trips to Israel from Kenya.



THE PYRAMIDS
One of the most famous ancient site in the world “THE GREAT PYRAMIDS AT GIZA” which are the main attraction in Egypt  most pyramids were constructed for burying pharaohs’ of those days and the bigness was for emphasizing their power and strength that they held in Egypt.






























THE LAND OF MILK –ISRAEL
Facts about Israel
-Israel has the highest number of museums per head in the world.
-The Mount of Olives in Jerusalem is the world’s oldest continuously used cemetery
- Israel cows produce more milk per cow than almost any country in the world
-Israel is the largest immigrant-absorbing nation on earth. Immigrants come in search of democracy, religious freedom, and economic opportunity.
The Promised Land
God promised the land of Israel to Abraham:
In the Bible Genesis15:17-18 -And it came to pass, when the sun went down and it was dark, that behold, there appeared a smoking oven and a burning torch that passed between those pieces. On the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying: "To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates.




DAIRY FARMING
DID YOU KNOW THAT ISRAEL IS THE COUNTRY THAT HAS THE MOST PRODUCTIVE DAIRY?
Israel is described as the land of milk and honey in the bible and Israel’s dairy herd is genetically made up of Israeli-Holstein Cows, characterized by their adaptability to harsh and varied climatic conditions. Israel has zero-grazing for dairy cows and some for beef cattle
The dairy sector supplies more than 80%of the country’s dairy requirements, with production potential greatly exceeding domestic needs.
Israel’s dairy herds supply 45% of the country’s demand for fresh red meat. The rest of local market demand is met by beef breed herds located in grazing areas



POULTRY FARMING

Israel’s poultry sector accounts for almost 1/8 of the country’s total agricultural
Broiler and turkey meat and eggs is among the highest in the world. In addition, ostrich are raised for leather and meat, primarily. Hot climate conditions in Israel necessitated the development of highly productive, disease resistant poultry breeds.

Other farming activities in Israel include:
-Bee keeping
-Aquaculture-fishing
-Floriculture-growing of flowers
-Sheep and goat rearing



GREENHOUSE FARMING
Production under protected conditions has become the principal way for Israeli growers to ensure a constant, year-round supply of high-quality products, while minimizing the use of chemicals. This method helps to overcome obstacles posed by adverse climatic conditions and a shortage of water and land all this and much  more happening in your number one tour company
