Cheetah Side Profile: Zambia

cheetah side profile

The Cheetah, my favorite animal since I can remember.  This was part of a few hour tour where I was able to walk Cheetahs and Lions.  This little guy was my favorite since he kept insisting on licking me and cuddling.  Cheetahs actually purr 10 times louder than cats and their tongues are extremely tough […]

Colorful Macaw Parrot: Armenia, Colombia

Macaw

Welcome to Armenia, Colombia. This Macaw was the most curious and annoying parrot in the world. If you didn’t know I actually had privilege of having breakfast with him since he decided to follow me around by climbing up my chair and wreaking havoc on my now scarred shoulder. He was a lot of fun; […]

The Madagascar Chamaleon

Madagascar Chameleon

This little guy was found on our canoe trip when we were sailing down a river in the southwest part of Madagascar.  I joined a tour in order to see the Avenue of the Baobabs and Tsingy Stone Forrest.  We stopped to relax at a water fall and when we sat down to eat we […]

Im Walking Cheetahs For A Living (Literally)

Im Walking Cheetahs For A Living (Literally)

That’s right, I’m changing my job because this was such an amazing experience.  Being able to walk with a group of cheetahs was very special to me because cheetah’s have always been my favorite animals growing up, when I played soccer I was always the fastest person on the field and many people nicknamed me […]

To see all of the baby elephants that have been rescued at the elephant orphanage in Nairobi is something out of this world.  Its one thing to see a baby elephant period, but to be able to get up close and personal with them and see how they interact with both you and each other […]

Walking a Lion in Livingston, Zambia

Walking a Lion, touching a lion, petting a lion

Walking a lion in Zambia!  Not petting a lion, not taking pictures of a lion up close, walking a lion (and holding on to it’s tail)!  When you get up close to the lions they are very intimidating.  They are absolutely massive and you have to take extra precautions like walking with a tiny stick […]

No I will not lie and say that I took this bad ass picture on my safari in Kenya.  What I will say is that it was taken at Safari Walk inside the Nairobi National Park.  There were two cheetahs in the park and they were great posing for pictures.  The one that you are […]

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 […]
