By: Acacia Africa Heath Ashcroft Marketing Director at Acacia Africa, comments “While we’re continuing to support cultural events in Nairobi, we also aim to support the achievements of our Crazy About Kenya partners. Shake brings Kenya to life through his artworks, and in light of the recent news we’re hoping that his positive outlook will encourage more people to visit.” Shake sees his art as an expression of his views and creativity, Masai-land, “especially the savannah” providing the inspiration for many of his paintings. Shake Makelele, comments “Visiting Kenya is the experience of a lifetime. Travellers should just come and share their experience with the people they meet here, and wherever they go. Any cultural sharing and comparison is a good thing - that way we will be able to make the world a better place for us all.” When asked about his dream safari destination, Shake replied “I would love to be in the Masai Mara - seeing the animals migrating and crossing the Mara River.” (Save £255pp) Acacia Africa is currently discounting its 41-day Cape Town To Kenya overland expedition.
