Rhino Horn and Elephant Ivory poaching are still a big problem in Africa. It is a wasteful tragedy of wildlife. More than 442 Rhinos have been killed this year in South Africa alone.

I have been very fortunate to have Steve Chumbley as Infinite Safari Adventures ground partner since its beginning. Steve and I first met in 2005 when he and his wife Teena were managing Greystoke Mahale and we discovered a shared love of kayaking. I never have to worry about my clients being take care of […]

I was reminded of this again recently when […]

One of the things I pride myself on is finding creative solutions to problems.  And some of those creative solutions can lead to some very interesting and humorous situations. My rafiki Patrick whose education I have been supporting recently realized that he needed one more semester to finish his education.  By the time he discovered […]
