Sundowner cocktails shared in the company of these joyful souls was truly a treat and honor for my last evening in Serengeti. Banter, teasing, singing, dancing and laughter these women exude a powerful force of togetherness and friendship.
“These are my sisters – we are our own tribe.” – Zawadi
Thank you for welcoming me into your tribe ❤

The women of Dunia are blazing the trail and are a beacon of inspiration and hope to all aspiring women in Tanzania, Africa and beyond. From guides to camp manager to overnight security it’s an all-female team (in a heavily male-dominated safari-world) and they exude a powerful feeling of sisterhood and pride in their independence and abundant capabilities. Big shout-out to for leading the charge for change and investing and believing in these women and giving them the opportunity to showcase their skills in the bush

Driving to West Serengeti we met this handsome bull and he was kind enough to walk up and have a little snack about 10 feet from our vehicle. I could listen to his munching and soft snorting all day...
So relaxed and peaceful - thanks big guy x you made my day.

We were looking for this lion pride this morning and were so lucky to find them just after they brought this wildebeest down. At just 15 feet away these cats were noisy! Turn on your sound for the full effect.
