I can’t believe I’ve only got a week left here, it’s going SO QUICK!!! Again, SO much has happened I don’t know where to begin – I’ve been so busy immersing myself in absolutely everything that I can that I haven’t had time to post anything. However, an incredible amount to rave about as always,…
Always play it like a cool cat
Five days in and I'm beginning to get used to life in the wild. I love getting out of bed, putting on my African attire, scraping my hair back and being ready for the busy day ahead in no more than three minutes, racing up the mudslide eager to get to the forest lodge. Very…
Feed your soul with nature
