The view from Montserrat in Bogota, Colombia is an incredible thing to see. The view you are looking at is to the left of the main city center but one of the best shots that I could take. Since Bogota is higher in elevation it is usually cooler than the other cities in the country […]
Vervet Monkey In Nairobi Gives New Meaning To Blue Balls
What you are looking at is a vervet monkey which was found on my poor man’s safari to the Nairobi National Park in Kenya. It was truly hysterical because if you look closely through the bushes you will notice that this monkey has bright blue family jewels. All male vervet monkeys have nice blue crown […]
How Hotel Ratings Work
This is something really cool that I found on the easy to book blog. Its an info graphic that shows how hotel ratings work. I know that when I see how many stars a hotel is I always wonder exactly what kind of room I am going to get. I figured I would post this on the […]
Split Living Dead Acacia Tree – Nairobi National Park
This acacia tree was something that completely fascinated me. Its not one of the best pictures that I have taken but I think this is really an artistic picture. I couldn’t believe how half of the tree was alive and the other half seemed completely dead. The tree isn’t split or cut anywhere but it […]
Petting & Kissing A Giraffe – Nairobi
This is probably one of the funnest things I have done so far while living in Nairobi. The place where you can get to pet and slobbered on by giraffes is called The Giraffe Center located roughly 12.5 miles (20 km) outside the core of Nairobi. It was a really great experience especially since I […]
Giraffe Up Close & Personal – Nairobi, Kenya
The Giraffe Center in Nairobi Kenya is one seriously cool place. Not only can you get completely slobbered on by giraffes but you can also capture pictures like the one I took below. If I am not mistaken this is the “dude, stop playing with me and give me some food” face. I tried to […]
The Curious Cheetah on Safari-Kenya, Africa
This picture was the only time that the cheetah actually stood up. There was a group of three under the tree and if you look very closely the animal looks pregnant. It was 12pm and it was most likely after a very large meal. There were roughly 11 safari cars huddles around the group of […]
Zebra Love at Nairobi National Park in Kenya
Ah Zebra Love. I wonder how the mating process goes exactly and which one of these two creatures is the man in the relationship? I mean they did just approve gay marriage in New York guys I am not judging. I saw these two love birds on what I call the poor man’s safari while visiting […]
The Big 5 On My African Safari
The Big 5 in Africa are truly amazing especially if you get within inches of animals that could tear your heart out. “The Big 5” refers to the major animals that you want to see whenever you go on safari; Rhino, Elephant, Lion, Leopard, and Buffalo. I had an out of world experience when I […]
Only Token White Boy at the Club: Nairobi Edition
It was Saturday night and there was a brisk cool breeze coming out of the Serengeti in Nairobi, Kenya. How a wind stays cool for a few hundred miles is besides the point. It was pouring rain and everyone was wearing a jacket since they thought it was cold. The first question that I was […]
