Solo Travel for Women in Africa: Why Kenya is the Safe, "No-Loneliness" Choice
Solo Travel for Women in Africa? I started solo travelling very young. This is because my parents sent my sister and me off to the United States for holidays every other year from the age of six. This gave me confidence, and by the age of 18. I had already been to several European countries alone. Traveling to meet my cousins when I was six I also fell in love with Eastern Europe and made friends for life in both Hamburg and Spain. In fact, I would consider some of the people

Safari Toilets: Squatting, Bush Breaks, and Luxury Outposts
Do I have to pee in the bush?
No. Many outposts or gates in the National Parks in Kenya have toilets. It is very common for the rangers or drivers to stop and let everyone out for toilet breaks. So, you can go to the bathroom on Safari when on a game drive. The issue is only if you are desperate when you are out in the wild.

Why Shouldn't You Wear White on a Safari?
Why shouldn’t you wear white on a Safari? I get asked this question a lot! But to be honest, after 10 safaris, I have no idea. I often wear white on Safaris. Especially if I am in the heat.

Finding My Style at 50: The Safari I Turned Pretty
The Safari I Turned Pretty? Or the Summer I Turned Pretty?
Yes. My daughter introduced me to The Summer I Turned Pretty, and I immediately read the book. Then fell in love with the series. I related to the show, because I used to be a swimmer and every summer we would go to California for summer. I had my first kiss in Lake Tahoe!

Women Only Safaris in Kenya: What Actually Makes Them Different?
What a women-only safari really means, and what it doesn't
A women-only safari is not about exclusion. It's about experience. A unique experience that is designed for comfort, safety, and shared values. I understand these values, as for the past 16 years, I have managed a women-only group of metaplastic breast cancer patients. This is a rare cancer, and through our group, we ladies have bonded and share a set of common experiences and values.
