When You’re On Safari, It’s All About the Animals: Part I

February 26, 2017 by 44 Comments

In September 2015, I took a six-day trip to Kenya. While there I stayed at the beautiful safari camp, Mahali Mzuri, where we took two game drives each day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.

Video Walk Around Mahali Mzuri, Richard Branson’s Safari Camp in Kenya

August 16, 2016 by 26 Comments

Last fall when I was on safari in Kenya, I stayed in Richard Branson's safari camp, Mahali Mzuri. One afternoon after returning from a morning safari, I grabbed my camera and filmed a quick walkabout for you. I wanted to take you around the camp so you could get a feel for it, instead of just seeing it in photos. I don't know why it's taken me so long to get it uploaded, but I finally got that done … [Read more...]

Africa Bound: A Visit To Mahali Mzuri and Giraffe Manor

August 21, 2015 by 68 Comments

In December of last year, I posted about a magical place called Giraffe Manor. Ever since then I've been obsessed with the idea of one day visiting the manor and seeing the endangered Rothschild giraffes in person.   How much fun would it be to breakfast with giraffes! I've actually thought about it so much, I've started dreaming about it! Have you ever thought about a place so much you, you … [Read more...]
