Look up into a kaleidoscope of autumn hues where cottonwood trees stretch into the sky. Their leaves form a warm, golden canopy against the cool whisper of an overcast day.

It's my birthday tomorrow, and so far, I've received a set of cutting boards and a new silverware separation thing to go in my silverware drawer, which are things I asked for (along with some other household stuff I need that my brothers will probably get for me), but I'm feeling a distinct lack of whimsy that I'm going to have to make up for with whatever celebration happens tomorrow, except I'm sick right now and don't have the energy to do any of the things I was considering

oh to be an ant and live in the jungle...oh to achieve collective cognition and to use your body to form bridges and boats... oh to use chemical trails to communicate....

One of my favorite words that has a whole depth of meaning is komorebi. It's Japanese for sunlight shining through trees.

I cannot express how much I adore dappled shadows formed by sunlight in paintings and photography and in real life

We need to talk about urban trees, and we keep refusing to address the topic.

I got a text from my father this morning. Another large branch fell from his aging elm tree into his back yard. This lovely tree is about as old as the house, about 60 years, and it's at a stage of development where the broad, arcing branches are difficult for the aging trunk to support. Funguses and woodpeckers and the beetles the woodpeckers are drilling for have made their infiltration into the flesh of the tree.

The branch fell on a sunny Friday morning. There wasn't a storm or a wind event. Just PLOOP! The branch fell. The ends of the branch are heavy with lush greenery filling out the canopy shading the backyard of my parents' home.

It's probably time to bring down the whole thing.

And that should be the natural order of urban trees.

But too often it is not.

Just leaving this note as a reminder for further research and inquiry. No one follows this blog anyway 😁

I love these streets

I have always loved tree covered streets for as long as I can remember. There is just something so warm and inviting to streets like this. There is a draw to these streets that will make me want to walk down the street even if I’m not going in that direction. The tree canopy is beautiful and I will always enjoy the ecstatic. Thanks for stopping by, Rob

Explore Kenya’s Untamed Beauty with African Traveller Ltd. Safari Tours

Kenya, the cradle of mankind and the heart of African safari adventures, is a destination that stirs the soul. With African Traveller Ltd., you can experience the magic of Kenya in ways that are as diverse as its landscapes. From the rolling savannahs of the Maasai Mara to the rugged beauty of Mount Kenya, our Kenya Safari Tours offer an unforgettable journey into the wild.

Explore the Majestic Maasai Mara

It is understandable why Kenya's national parks consider the Maasai Mara to be their crown jewel. This vast reserve, with its golden plains and abundant wildlife, is where nature puts on a show like no other. Picture yourself in an open-top vehicle, camera ready, as a pride of lions lounges under an acacia tree, or as a herd of elephants marches across the horizon. The Great Migration, a spectacle that attracts visitors from all over the world, is a highlight you won't want to miss. Thousands of wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles embark on a perilous journey across the Mara River, where crocodiles lie in wait. It's nature at its rawest, and with African Traveller Ltd., you'll have a front-row seat.

Experience the Rich Culture of Kenya

Beyond the wildlife, Kenya's rich cultural tapestry adds depth to your safari experience. The Maasai people are as well-known as the animals that roam their lands because of their vivid red shukas and exquisite beadwork.  On our tours, you'll have the chance to visit a Maasai village, where you can learn about their traditions, hear their stories, and even join in a traditional dance. Reminding you of the close bond between the people and the land, it's a humble experience.

Luxury Meets Adventure

At African Traveller Ltd., we believe that a safari should be an adventure, but that doesn't mean you have to sacrifice comfort. Our Kenya Safari Tours are designed to offer the best of both worlds. Whether you're staying in a luxury tented camp, where you can hear the calls of the wild as you drift off to sleep, or in a boutique lodge with breathtaking views of the savannah, you'll find that every detail has been carefully curated to ensure an unforgettable experience.

Why Choose African Traveller Ltd.?

With years of experience and a deep love for Kenya, African Traveller Ltd. is your trusted partner in safari adventures. Our knowledgeable guides, commitment to sustainable tourism, and passion for sharing the beauty of Kenya make us the perfect choice for your next journey. Whether you're a seasoned traveler or embarking on your first safari, we'll tailor your tour to your needs, ensuring that your Kenyan adventure is everything you've dreamed of and more.

Embark on a journey of a lifetime with African Traveller Ltd., where the wild heart of Africa awaits.
