Africa, Lesbians & The Trip of a Lifetime

When I left San Francisco forÂ myÂ Wild Rainbow African SafariÂ adventureÂ threeÂ years ago, I had no idea what was in store for me â€”Driving through several townships with a man who grew up during Apartheid andÂ stopping to haveÂ tea with his friends, surfing fun waves in Muizenburg across from the great white shark museum, being invitedÂ a dinner party withÂ local […]

From the Makuleke women who cook and clean for the EcoTraining camp in Kruger National Park (where we spent a glorious week) to the young twenty-something student back-up guides who accompanied us on our day long treks with their rifles. It’s impossible not to fall a little […]

Safari Dreams

Africa can be a dream vacation, as it was for me. I thought I would just go, check it off my ‘bucket list’ and come home. But what happened to me is what happens for so many of my guests on safari. They walk through a door they never can, nor want to, close again. […]

How A Borrowed Jacket Saved My Life

In 1998, I had a life-changing phone call. I was in one of my sad-me moments, whining to a friend about how hard my life was and how everything that was wrong because I was wrong, and well you get the picture. But in my self-involved haze, I hadnâ€™t taken the time to remember who […]
