Going on a Hunting Trip

Lionness Attacks Maasai on Hunt

Lets just hope that doesn’t happen to us…

I first saw this on a fellow blog [wanna see it?]

White Water Rafting

The complete African travel guide for your Overland Adventure

Not exactly what you would call comforting, as I’m scheduled to go two months today… As I’ve mentioned, this is my sister’s department but we’ll see how it goes [...]
