How to Plant a Tree in Kenya
How to plant a tree in Kenya? Let me show you!
I have many trees in my garden at home. I don't think I planted one that felt so good as the one I planted in Kenya. It's a strange experience. As with the Maasai, the location and the beautiful scent of Africa, planting this tree was very symbolic of new beginnings for me.

The Olmalaika Trust Visit
Many people ask me what philanthropy really mean. I respond with the word humanitarian. Visiting the Olmalaika Trust is the most humanitarian visit that you can enjoy during our ethical safari. I arrived as a stranger and left as part of the cause.

Reteti Elephant Sanctuary
Reteti was founded due to local needs. The local people were finding orphaned or abandoned elephants. Orphaned, if the parents have been killed. Or, abandoned due to human intervention. In these remote areas, farmers make water holes or wells, which are a hazard to animals when they fall in and cannot climb back out. This is when elephants have to move on and leave baby calves behind.

Is Kenya Safe for Women Travelling on Safari?
Is Kenya Safe for Women Travelling on Safari?

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.
