Fun facts on safari
Here’s what I learned about the bush from my guides over the last four months…
Facts and figures from my Africa trip
My trip to Africa came about when I happened to read an online article about a guy who’d managed to wangle himself 365 nights of accommodation in exchange for taking pictures. I thought to myself, “I could do that!”, so I Googled ‘safari lodges in Kenya and Tanzania’, sent off 50 emails and waited to see what happened. After only a couple of weeks, I had 17 invitations!
Wildlife sightings
The only question that really matters when you’re on safari is “Will we see X?” Now, ‘X’ may be a lion, a cheetah, a kill or a wildebeest crossing, but the frustrating bit is that you never get a straight answer.
Klein's Camp: Part 2
“There’s a lion fighting with a buffalo!” cried our driver, holding his binoculars and looking round in my direction. “Okay, let’s go!”
Klein's Camp
If I told you I had to ask a guy with a spear to walk me home every night for the last month, you’d probably ask where on Earth I was staying. The answer is Klein’s Camp in the Serengeti in Tanzania.
