Whether with family or through school trips, I found myself surrounded by wildlife at least once a year. In fact, it would be safe to say that going to national parks is to Kenyans is what Disneyland is to Americans or going to the beach is for Australians. It’s part of the lifestyle. Driving through (or walking through if you’re lucky!) acres of lush savannah at sunrise or sunset is surreal experience. It’s one my favourite ways to connect with nature. The very essence of such an adventure is find harmony with…
