Souvenirs from Africa

Every year I try and go to Africa at least once. Because of my love and passion, it usually ends up being twice a year.  I returned just before Thanksgiving from a great, and whirlwind trip.

First I went to Kenya to visit with my Maasai “Rafiki” (friend) Patrick and his family and then I made my first visit to Botswana (my 13^th country on the African continent).

It is an amazing country with lots of wildlife, great people, great camps and an inspiring outlook on conservation that preserves their national treasures.  I saw amazing things as well as visiting 8 different camps and lodges in 6 days.  And while that can be tiring, I can’t wait to go back and visit again!

Over the next few posts I’ll tell you some stories from my trip. I believe stories, friends and photographs are the finest souvenirs and I look forward to sharing some of mine with you.

It is a part of my personal guarantee for an unforgettable trip that I only send friends and clients to places, accommodation, parks, and experiences that I have been to myself. That makes for a crazy schedule while trying to fit everything into a short trip timeframe. It is a whirlwind but a wonderful one.
