Africa
This continent is huge. I’ve only covered a fraction of the interior central eastern area Kenya, and Tanzania. It’s a beautiful country that feels otherworldly.

Small Planes for Gorgeous Destinations
Most of the time, small planes aren't really that much more than the commercial airliners. Also, if you're in a county like Kenya or a continent like Africa- trying to travel with just the roads can be challenging, dangerous, and sometimes just a waste of time. You...
Madagascar: The surprisingly opulent Anjajavy L’Hôtel
The northern side of Madagascar is remote, tropical, peaceful, and mostly untamed. You can hear about celeb guests like Leonardo DiCaprio in these areas. We went to this remote hotel to recharge after a safari trek through Kenya and Tanzania. You fly into a very small...
Lemur Island – Andasibe, Madagascar
You might not know it- Madagascar is huge. Also, their roads are (to be gentle) under developed. This makes travel take longer. Most people fly into Antananarivo ('tana) because it's the main city, right in the middle. Andasibe, however, is a place on the far eastern...
The Baobab Tree Forest in Northern Madagascar
The Baobab tree is amazing, it's a succulent.. yeah. Some of them are thousands of years old. One of them (which I didn't see, but was in Madagascar) was so large they carved a small bar into it. The Baobab is also called “reniala” (“mother of the forest”) in...
Ancient Cave Exploration with Giant Lemur Fossils in Northern Madagascar
About 30 minutes of walking into the scorching hot forest, we arrive at a hole in the ground. The temperature is what the locals would call "Mafana Be" which is Malagasy for REALLY HOT. It doesn't look like much, and there's a 40 foot ladder peeking out of the top,...
Incredible Giant Forest Crab on Madagascar
These crabs are about 18" wide, side to side. I was able to get pretty close to this one.
The capital city of Madagascar: Antananarivo.
Yes, they have a shorter name, it's 'Tana. The full name is more fun. This is the most populous city, center of the country, bustling and alive. William & Georgene Krauss
Sunrise in Tanzania
It speaks for itself.
Hot Air Balloon over Tanzania
Epic. Take a close look at the Lion that was noticeably scared of the balloon. https://youtu.be/TrJese6NNdA This is the sun rising. It's too hot to fly during the day. We go at 4am to take off by first light, around 5:15am.
Gripping image of African Leopard lounging in a tree with it’s kill
Leopards are extremely difficult to spot. Here's one hanging out, on a branch. There's the kill. They store it in the tree, to avoid theft by Hyena. The Leopard will eat a few times, then leave the scraps for the condors. They just like to be left...
