A Taste of Africa
When a book stands out amongst its competition, namely the Kennedy’s Safari Guides for East Africa, and Dame Daphne Sheldrick’s An African Love Story, I love doing a review post. But A Taste of Africa, the African recipes book reviewed in this post, has no real competition. It’s such a brilliant idea and one that...
The Maasai Mara is their office
Who wouldn’t want a job where elephants feed outside your window, and leopards saunter through the ‘hallways’? Clea and Conway are a young couple that spent their childhoods in the bush so it makes sense that they have chosen the Maasai Mara as their office. I talked to them about the challenges and rewards of their...

A Desert Romance
I had heard three things about camels: 1. Riding one is like being on a mechanical bull; 2. They are mean spirited; and 3. They spit green vomit at people. So, when the camel lifted his furry upper lip and came towards my arm with his huge brown- stained teeth, my first response was to yell,...
Point, Shoot and Pray
“Sharing views, sharing images, sharing tips and techniques … photographic pros and amateurs alike … we can all learn from each other,” says wildlife photographer Chris Martin. Chris and I are bloggers on Africa Geographic – one of my favorite magazines. The magazine is known for amazing images accompanying their stories, and as you can...
Is Silence Extinct?
I don’t know about you, but I need daily doses of silence. The kind of quiet that wraps me in a protected cocoon, slows my breath and heartbeat, kneads my muscles into submission, and calms my autonomic nervous system. The kind of quiet I find in abundance on an African safari. Silence is as...
Safari Among the Animals
For ten days, traveling across the Samburu and Masai Mara regions of Kenya, our tribe of nine women melded into a herd of forty elephants while they played, ate, scratched and trumpeted; became one with a pride of 12 lion during a light rain shower; migrated with thousands of wildebeest and zebra on their instinctual...

A ‘Must Do’ Encounter with Chimpanzees
Nani waddles towards me with her arms stretched to the sky in a child’s ‘pick me up’ gesture. She climbs up as if I were a tree, securing her short muscular legs around my waist and her long arms around my neck. I stroke her coarse black fur, breathing in a musky baby smell. Twenty-one...
The Perfect Safari Hat
Packing for an African safari can be tricky. There is the all important issue about the weight restrictions on the little bush planes (30-35 lbs maximum depending on the country), and not knowing what you will need when you have never been on an Africa safari...
Natural Remedies for an African Safari
Forget Deet and Cipro. Try these Natural Alternatives. I’ve been using them for years and want to share them with you. Maybe you’re not about to go on an African safari, but Africa isn’t the only place in the world with mosquitoes and the potential for Montezuma’s revenge. So read on. My safari travel bag...
From the time of my first trip to Africa on assignment as a fashion model in 1984, to my recent role as Africa Adventures Specialist for the Jane Goodall Institute, I've traveled to or lived in eleven African countries. Deepening my life long passion to nature and animals happens easily in Africa, but Africa remains
