Last stop at Lemala Mpingo Ridge. Lovely tent to spend our last few nights. Tomorrow we look for more elephants and big cats!

Such a special experience to dance with the Maasai! Song of celebration and welcome. Jumping is a show of strength.
The tribe still lives their traditional lifestyle - in huts and tending to their cows, goats and sheep.

The Great Migration
The annual journey of 2.7 million wildebeest through the Serengeti up to Maasai Mara and back again. Imagine an incredible traffic jam of animals and sound stretching from the left horizon to the right horizon. The cycle continues and never stops.
When clients contact me for an Africa safari, I always include a camp which aligns to the position of the migration.
You have to experience it to believe it.

Only 33 lbs of luggage for a 2 week vacation? No Way!
Yes Way! The bush planes are very small and cannot handle large or hard side suitcases. Thank goodness the camps offer free laundry!

Western Serengeti. Mila Tented Camp. Our new charming home for the next few nights.
Only 6 tents. And apparently a pride of lions nearby as well. Will the Lions Sleep Tonight? Or will they roar in the middle of the night?

Hippos! Sound on!
Up close they are nearly as big as a school bus!

Elephants come in all sizes - from baby elephants that hide under mom's belly, up to the biggest matriarch who will scare off jeeps that get too close. A group of elephants is called a Parade.

4 am wake up for our hot air balloon over the Maasai Mara. Beautiful is an understatement!

Our comfy home for the next few days. Already feeling spoiled by the Elewana team.

I discovered my passion for travel late in life when my husband and I took an international work assignment in Southern Germany. Three and a half years later, we returned with memories of European capitals, castles, churches, cobblestone streets, charming villages, inspiring art, local wine and beer, skiing in the Alps, and friendships that continue to this day.
We were hooked on travel. Just a few years later, we were asked “how about Japan?” we didn’t hesitate. With two young kids in tow, we explored elaborate yet peaceful temples, quaint craft towns in the hills, skiing in Hokkaido, and staying in traditional Japanese ryokan.
Australia, Thailand, and New Zealand were our favorite destinations. The landscape in the Outback was unlike any place we’d ever seen. Our trip to Tasmania and Cradle Mountain still ranks as a ‘best ever’ adventure. Hiking on a glacier and snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef were real bucket list adventures.
That was over 10 years ago, and our travel adventures continue. Iceland, Alaska, Oregon and National Parks for hiking and adventure. The Rocky Mountains and New England for skiing and snowboarding. Family trips for Caribbean Cruises, Disney, Hawaii, and Costa Rica.
What’s next? This year – Banff National Park and Belize. Some day - the Galapagos Islands, Africa for Safari, Israel and Antarctica.
Why do I love travel so much? Absolutely the destination and immersion. I also love the research and planning process – sight-seeing highlights and getting off the beaten path. Setting a slower pace to breathe and enjoy. I love helping my clients find their True Direction for travel – whether it’s exploring far-off destinations or just a quick trip to visit family. Give me a call - I'd love to help you find your True Direction.
