As the sun sets on yet another incredible bush experience in Africa, this time in the Okavango Delta, my heart aches that I must leave, but I know I will return again soon. There is nowhere else that I feel more alive, at peace, while surrounded by amazing animals and incredible people.

Ol Donyo. 2 nights was definitely not enough. Stunningly beautiful landscape. Lions, giraffe, eland, zebra, big tusked elephants, oryx, gerenuk antelope, and more. A great, slowed down safari experience. Sleeping under the stars in a sky bed is a must...clear skies and serenaded by lions! And Jeremiah....my amazing guide.

One of the many charities First Light Safaris donates to. 1% or more of every safari sold goes back towards ensuring a bright future for wildlife and people. We have donated $1,000 to KopeLion in 2022.

Ol Donyo Lodge. A gem inside an exclusive wilderness within the beautiful Chyulu Hills located west if Tsavo NP. It has anything but a lodge feel. The atmosphere still has that safari camp feel with a few more perks for the safari goer. #oldonyolodge #chyuluhills #greatplainsconservation #ilovekenya #eland #zebras #giraffes

One of nature's most powerful, agile, and beautiful animals. Leopards are always a special sighting on safari since they can be elusive.
