It is always fun going to our National Park to see our amazing wildlife. As someone who grew up next to a National Park, watching animals has always been something that I love doing. My favorite being the Buffalos, because of my past experience with them. I once escaped narrowly from them when I was in high school, and we had gone for an expedition on Ngong Hills. That was a long day, but it is a story for another day. A few days ago, I went back to Amboseli courtesy of the TECNO Kenya team. One thing that stuck with me since the last time I was in Amboseli, is the breathtaking views of Mount Kilimanjaro from the Park. It is one of those things that you should at least try to see once in your lifetime, breathtaking.
This time round the heavy clouds above denied us the chance to see the same view but as always Amboseli has plenty for the visitors. The Park is home to big-tusked elephants, big cats like lions, cheetahs and paradise for birdwatchers. Among others, we also enjoyed seeing acacia woodlands, swamps, marshlands, lake, and the slopes of Oldoinyo Orok.
Seeing the wildlife and the park in general was secondary to the main event that took us there, the launch of TECNO CAMON 30 Series. The event setup and the decor were fully in line with the theme TECNO Wild Experience which highlighted TECNO’s commitment to sustainability and responsible tourism. The event also marked the start of a three-year partnership with Magical Kenya. Through this partnership TECNO intends to support local communities and preserve the natural beauty of the world we live in.
Having watched TECNO closely for over ten years, I think it is one brand whose progress to the top should be studied in schools and colleges. They came in and studied the market closely, which at the time was dominated by Samsung and Nokia and then took it over through sheer determination and clever decisions. You might be surprised to hear that based on the Safaricom network, the Transsion Group, that is TECNO, Infinix and Itel has a combined market share of 60%. I suspect the same is translated in both the Airtel and Telkom Kenya networks and because of the dominant of Safaricom network in Kenya it is not farfetched to say that Transsion Group has market share of 60% in Kenya.
On the CAMON 30 Series launch the stage was set up by Peter Shi, Brand Manager of TECNO Kenya, who expressed his excitement about the CAMON 30 debut “We eagerly anticipate demonstrating to Kenyan consumers the transformative impact TECNO can make as we unveil our comprehensive product lineup and showcase how we’re pioneering cutting-edge technologies, wrapped in sleek modern design, right here in Kenya.”

One area that I feel phone manufacturers have lost plot on is the design, but I have to commend TECNO for giving it their best shot. The CAMON 30 Series has Classic Side-axis Camera Design and industry-first suede Tech-Art Leather, which adds a premium touch to the device. With a wide range of colors, including Iceland Basaltic Dark, Sahara Sand Brown and Emerald Lake Green, the CAMON 30 Series offers a personalized experience for every user.
