Masai Mara Travel Blogs

So my day started with someone scratching on our tent and wispering for us to get up.  I was still a little foggy with sleap to realize that it was our new Masai warrior friend waking us up just like we asked him to.  Hahahaha, how many people get that kind of wake up call?!?! We got ush…

At the beginning of the year in 2002, Don and I had talked about us moving to Abuja where his next assignment would be. The engagement and marriage arrangements were in place and we were happy and dandy. Two months into it, we had another talk of it and his position bla bla bla, we were m…

The summer of 2009 I went to Kenya and worked at an orphanage for two weeks and also got to go on an amazing 4day safari

Amazing country and friendly people. Spent 3 weeks there, first on the coast by Mombasa and then on a 2 week safari trip to several parks. Stayed overnight in the parks, right were the animals came up to feed. One night we had a hippo cruising through our camp...the cheetah actually jumped up on my Jeeps hood and just sat there... I also walked with this bush man right between two rhinos, like 10 feet away. And all he had for protection was a stick...

In October 2004, I went on a safari adventure to the Masai Mara in Kenya. I am putting up an old story as I am so sad to witness the current problems this country and its people are facing! Kenya is a fantastic country, full of warm and loving people on the whole. My time in the Masai Mara, w…

Ever since 7th grade, when I made a list of my Life Goals, going to Africa to do volunteer work as been at the top. I told my dad this, and got introduced to Don Howard and his wife Pat, and everything else just fell into place! After hosting numerous book drives and raising over a total of 6,000 books, I'm got to go off to Africa to help out with some libraries and other projects. It was AMAZING! This trip was really a dream come true!

Well, the last of the Big 5 has now been spotted.  I saw loads of elephants.  When we were told they live by a matriarchal hierachy I loved them straight away.  The most amazing elephant sighting had to be when a herd with little babies stolled in between our vehicles.  Very coo…

A trip of a lifetime

This past summer my best friend and I lit out on an adventure from my childhood imagination to conquer a portion of the Dark Continent. It was a fantastic trip - not for the faint of heart - but soul filling nonetheless. Here are a few pics from the trip...

This is Africa!!

The Road trip made me understand one can do more in trying situations. Now I know that Tibet & China by road will be a great trip. Soon as I find a co traveler.
