Supporting The Maasai And Making Your Dog Beautiful

Giving Back Part 1 I feel very fortunate and lucky to be able to not only go to Africa every year, but also to introduce people to Africa and help them realize that “bucket list” dream of going on Safari.  Ever since I founded my safari company, I have been looking for a way to […]

There is and always has been some great music coming out of Africa.  But Beethoven and Bach? As I was waiting for the closing ceremonies of the Olympics to get started I decided to watch 60 Minutes.  The show always has some very interesting stories and is a good place to discover things that you […]
