"Thanks to Deirdre for coordinating another amazing experience."

"Hakuna Matata 🙏🏾 One of the most life changing experiences so far...

I was blessed to see lions, cheetahs, wildebeests, buffalos, giraffes, hippos, elephants, and SOOO many more creatures! Our guide kept us safe and taught us so much about the wildlife, and made sure we were able to get some great shots of the animals.

We also visited a Maasai village where the Maasai men and women performed some traditional dances and they allowed us to tour their homes and community..."

- Ayana

"My safari trip to Maasai Mara was amazing.”

"As my trip comes to an end, this has been again a great adventure.

I don't know what I was thinking, but I am sure I was in awe of all the natural beauty around me.

Ever felt at home and at peace, but yet so far from where your reality is. This trip did just that for me.

I hope you all enjoyed my journey from Kenya to Tanzania. My dope soul is doing some sh$%! Until my next adventure. #btfkenya"
