September 28, 2019 IMG guide Harry Hamlin reports that the team had another good day today, in and out of the clouds but no rain. They started with a stiff climb up the Barranco Wall  (actually just a steep trail, where you need to use your hands in a couple places). Once out of […]

August 3, 2019 Time to say good bye to Africa for a bit and time for Phunuru to get back to Nepal, see his family and get ready to lead our post-monsoon Cho Oyu expedition. Safari ended with a visit to the Ngorongoro Crater, more animals, including the black rhino, and a final night at […]
August 1, 2019 The Kili team had another great day on their safari! They saw LOTS of cats. Big ones. It really is amazing just how much wildlife you can see over 3 days, however, the elusive prize remains and that’s to see a black rhino. They’ll have to wait for their visit to Ngorongoro […]
July 31, 2019 Phunuru called in from the Serengeti today to confirm Day 1 of the safari was a huge success! Within two hours of arrival, they’d seen big cats, bigger zebras, and even bigger elephants! There is nothing quite like being guests in the home of these big animals. The landscape is as spectacular […]

[…]
