Big dreams, small excuses

Ζάμπια. Επτά χρόνια πριν. Η αρχή.    Zambia. Seven years ago. The beginning .

Since I was a little kid my dream was to go to Africa, my favorite childhood hero was Tarzan and my favorite series was Tarzan with Johnny Weissmuller.

It took me almost thirty years to make my dream come true. Today I believe that this was one of the biggest mistakes I’ve done in my life. I never really chased my dreams, I just let the years go by. 

I had never realized it because I always had a very good excuse to stop me from chasing my dreams.

One time it was too much work, another time it was how to organize such a trip, other time I didn’t have someone to join me, and almost all the time money was the main obstacle and my sure real life excuse. “How can I afford such a trip!” I was thinking. I had convinced my self that the cost was way too much. I had convinced my self that my dreams cost too much.

New safari offer with great savings!

Due to certain demand we now offer a unique opportunity to save 950 USD for our upcoming photo safari in May 31st. 
By staying one night less (skipping the last night in our second lodge, Rekero), you save on accommodation, meals, game drives, park fees and this effectively drops the price from 4600 to 3650 USD (or 2807 euros). The rest of the schedule stays intact which means you have 7 instead of 8 days in the Masai mara and the last day to visit Kibera’s school and orphanage to deliver donation as scheduled. I will be accompanying both groups in the two visits in Kibera on the 7th and 8th.

For these bookings we got one week extension …and we have 4 spaces available! If you really consider it send us an email at [email protected] to reserve your space.

Last minute deal. Trip discount for one couple only.

If you are  thinking to come to this photo safari (May 31 – June 9, 2013 Masai mara, Kenya) but you were hesitant, then this is the right moment to book your trip. For the first couple that will send us an email ([email protected]) about joining the trip, we ll do a 600 USD discount on the total price for the two people.  So the 9.200 usd becomes 8.600 usd for the two people. Just to make it clear this is a discount that applies only to a couple (friends, family, or married) and not to singles. 

Remember bookings close MAy 1, 2013 (that is one week from now) so if this safari has your name written on it, then this is the time to book.
