My name is Sarah Waiswa and I'm a Ugandan born Kenyan based photographer currently living in Nairobi. Travel for me is a way of putting perspective back into my life, and an opportunity for me to be inspired. I have always had an interest in photography, however the interest grew when I moved back to Kenya after living in the States for about 11 years. I came back with a hunger to reconnect with the continent and photography allowed me to do this. I like to travel in general but would love to do more in Africa; though often times you find that travel within Africa is super expensive. Having the opportunity to do so for my current project, African Cityzens, meant I could travel and capture stories along the way.

My name is Nick Swanepoel and I was born in Kenya. My mother came from England after the war and my father came from South Africa. My first travel experience was when my dad and I drove down from Kenya to South Africa in 1961; I was just 12 at the time! The nine-day trip took us through Tanzania, Northern Rhodesia (Zambia today), Southern Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) and finally South Africa. At one point while crossing the Serengeti in Tanzania at about midnight, an eland jumped into the road and we hit it with our Land Rover, bending one light that shone on the trees instead of the road! I am really not a great adventurer, yet I have experienced the most incredible adventures.
