  • A Day in the Life of the Maasai

    The plan today was to visit a Maasai Village to experience how they live and then visit a school that is supported by O.A.T. On the way to the village we stopped and picked up a community service worker named… Continue reading

  • Day One in the Bush

    We boarded a small bush plane that made 2 stops before we reached out final destination. The entire flight was only 30 minutes so it was a lot of up and down. All I could think of was that AlohaAirline… Continue reading

  • Surviving Jet Lag

    We purposely came two days early because I know what it is like to start a tour right after you get off the plane. The first day in Nairobi we literally spent the entire day sitting under umbrellas by the… Continue reading

  • Kenya Here We Come

    Right now I am sitting in Business Class in Doha, Oman waiting for our flight to Nairobi sipping champagne. I now understand why this airline (Qatar) is #1 airline in the world. Our overnight flight was something out of the… Continue reading

  • Luxor and More

    Today our wake-up call was at 4:00 AM for a 5:00 AM departure for the Cairo airport for our flight to Luxor. I was mentally prepared for Egyptian security so I didn’t let it bother me when I was felt… Continue reading
