A series of short stories from the bush on all things wildlife, anecdotes, conservation, centipedes in the bed, tsetse flies in the mosquito net….new ones published here and there to share a part of the bush with my words. I hope you enjoy!

Safari Njema! The adventure begins across Africa’s warm heart, in an old, cheaply rented yet sturdy looking Toyota. Conservation success stories, prime (and very lucky) wildlife sightings….an exciting first three days across the country down in the Majete Game Reserve. But equally, we discovered how cheap our car actually was…
After completing my two-week intensive conservation internship at the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy (Kenya) to become a Young Conservationist and Lewa Ambassador, I came back with more than just photographs and memories (via Honey Guide Safaris).
I came home with a more precise idea of what conservation is to me, and how I want to get involved.
Here, I compliment my previous one, which was more of a narration (see Climbing Kilimanjaro). You'll find a more global approach, based on my experience, and on what I would have liked to have known beforehand. Hope it helps, and if you have any questions, feel free to comment!
My first ever solo(ish) African adventure! I'd been wanting to write about my experience for some time now (hard to think it's already been 5 months!) To share it of course, but also for myself. I realised that every time I told the story, I relived it fully. So I thought writing it down must be on a whole other level of re-immersion. And… reading multiple blogs and recounts of other people’s treks helped a lot for the preparation and anticipation. So if my advice/story can be of any help, then why not?
Here, you’ll find a more or less detailed account of my climb (I’ve tried to include as much as I could…this definitely doesn’t do the actual version justice of course, but nothing ever will).
The following post is dedicated to Advice on Climbing Kilimanjaro.
