1. What is one question you wish people would ask you about your experiences in nature or travel? The question I wish people would ask is “What is the most interesting sighting in your travel?” This provides an opportunity to look back and appreciate that one outstanding feature, phenomena or wildlife that made your travel experience memorable. It makes us appreciate what nature has for us to enjoy. 2. What is your dream destination in terms of cultural experience and why? While I have actualised some of my dream destinations within East Africa, currently, the Caribbean Islands of Dominica, Antigua and Barbados are my dream destinations. I long to experience their distinctive rustic island life, Bajan cuisine and their different musical styles. Their diverse cultural backgrounds from different parts of the world is also something worth experiencing. 3. What is the most awe-inspiring natural phenomenon you've witnessed during your travels? There are a few but the Wildebeest migration across the Mara River tops the list. It is inspiring how millions of wildlife migrate annually without fail to fulfil an important ecological function. This also comes with an epic feast for the crocodiles and the land predators, mostly the lions. It’s definitely my jaw dropping phenomena during the Masai Mara Safari.

The warm hearted staff that welcome our travellers through the security and seamless check-in process leaves them only wanting a cup of coffee as they wait for their boarding call. Exactly what a traveller expects.
I appreciated the initiative taken by the camps to promote indigenous tree planting, and community involvement in the running of the conservancy not only for their own benefit but also to the ecosystem at large. 5. What steps do you think we should take now to ensure that the natural wonders of these regions can be enjoyed by future generations?
