My Lifetime Gift To My Grandchildren
The joyful expressions of delight and glee on the faces of the five grandchildren accompanying my husband, Tom, me, and their parents glimpsing the family of elephants next to the runway on the Mara Mara savannah in June of 2012 were just the beginning of what was to become a lasting adventure of a lifetime. I knew we were off to a great start when one of my grandsons turned, gave me a broad grin, a thumbs up and said, “You got this right Grammie!”

The Great Migration in Eastern Africa
The Migration is truly one of the wonders of the animal world; a million and more animals playing out their lives in the Serengeti eco-system, watched all the way by lions, hyenas, and crocodiles looking for dinner. So, what is the best time and where is the best place to catch this spectacle?
What should you pack for your safari to Africa
Safaris are always relatively casual affairs, where keeping warm in layers and blending in with the environment are the main focus. The only strict rules have to do with the weight of your belongings, as you are on several types of transport and at times there is a strict weight limit on what each guest is allowed to bring.
Should You Head East or South for an Africa Safari?
Because of the continent’s enormous size, safari veterans usually divide Africa into two regions, eastern and southern. Focusing your interest on one particular region makes sense when considering a two-week stay. As you ponder the distinctive qualities of each region, it is important to remember that these are only generalizations, and exceptions abound.
