Happy 2015!

Happy New Year!

As I write, it is already Orthodox Christmas in South Korea. What a special day to announce some wonderful new adventures for Flyga Twiga!

  • Safaris: Working with my partners in East Africa, there are several amazing safari opportunities for August through November 2015. Specifically, in Kenya we are designing a unique opportunity to visit with Elephant and Rhino Conservationists and preservation groups, not usually open to the public. While in Uganda, with only 750 Mountain Gorillas left in the world, an extensive, luxury gorilla trek is being designed.
     
  • New Travel Adventures: Also, during the first part of 2015, I have been given a rare opportunity to tour extensively South Korea and other parts of Southeast Asia. With the "Land of the Morning Calm" as my base for the next half year or so, I will be posting on the Flyga Twiga Blog my experiences and travels.
     
  • Wildlife Conservation: With my passion for wildlife and conservation, being based in Southeast Asia couldn't come at a better time. With parts of Southeast Asia the source of so much of the poaching industry, I hope to bring awareness at this critical point in history - with Elephants and my precious Rhinos facing extinction. Interesting how God puts you where you are needed.

I look forward to sharing my adventures and hope 2015 brings us all happy days and safe safaris!

Some of why I do what I do - one of my childhood favorites! @RangerRickMag

1972 Ranger Rick Sticker

I simply loved my Ranger Rick magazines as a child. I (briefly) contemplated being a US Parks Service Ranger when taking Forestry in High School. (And, probably would have been the ONLY USPS Ranger who was a former "Forest Festival Queen"!!!) While that career path really wasn't for me - my passion for wildlife (& esp my precious Rhinos!) was fueled at an early age thanks to Ranger Rick. Note the sticker is from 1972 - Happy Throw Back Thursday!
