I'm looking forward to see the children there. On the 15th, I start an agents' familiarization trip the Mbali Mbali. Watch them in this video.

Kristina's African Safaris: September 2010
http://kristinasafari.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 4, 2010. I’m just back from Stockholm, which was a quick visit with family and friends. I enjoyed my birth city very much. However the return flight was something else. I flew Delta Airlines from Seattle via JFK to Stockholm, since SAS pulled out of here last summer. Couldn’t be easier. Right? Going home was another matter though. I got a voucher for 85 kronor to eat lunch. How very generous of them! About $100 lighter, I walked away with a double-tall wet-capp. Hmmmm … good! We got a...

Kristina's African Safaris: November 2012
http://kristinasafari.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 16, 2012. Travel to Zimbabwe, May 2012. After the Indaba conference in May 2012, I travelled to Zimbabwe with 3 collegues to see for myself what it was all about. Last year at Indaba, all the buzz was about Zim, so we got the idea brewing then. Zim did not disappoint. We found a local supplier in Harare, who came highly recommended to us. What a Zim legend! During the night a leopard made a kill right outside my tent and stashed the impala in a tree! In the hide at Little Mak you get ver...

Kristina's African Safaris: Back from Tanzania and Zanzibar
http://kristinasafari.blogspot.com/2011/04/back-from-tanzania-and-zanzibar.html
Wednesday, April 27, 2011. Back from Tanzania and Zanzibar. I'm just back from East Africa with this happy greeting from the Giraffe Manor in Nairobi, which is not on Tanzania, but in Kenya. Having your breakfast with the giraffes can take several hours. Travel Agents on a working safari! This crescent shape dune travels 17 meters a year around this area and has done so for 3 million years, at least. The sand is magnetic and always comes back to itself even when the wind blows it away from the dune&#...

Sunday, September 6, 2009. Bibi's Family Safari was a great success. This was the most fabulous family safari I have ever had the pleasure to escort. They were all full of fun and in high spirits every day. Everyone was ready to go and explore. There was no whining, no complaints, only smiles, jokes and WOWs! I think the best way to tell their story is to let them do it, so I asked:. What was your favourite activity? Here are some answers. See all the hippos in the Mara river behind us? 10 Visiting the M...

Kristina's African Safaris: February 2010
http://kristinasafari.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 23, 2010. Snow Geese of Skagit Valley. This is not in Africa. This is an hour's drive north of Seattle in the Skagit Valley, also known for its tulip fields. Those will bloom in about a month when the snow geese head north again. Right now the fields are yellow with daffodils. Snow geese spend their summers in Alaska, but in winter they flock by the thousands to the warmer climate of the Skagit Valley. What a gorgeous day in Seattle! I have posted an album on Facebook here. A Safari wit...
