Ah Zabenya

Before leaving Africa, Caitlin and I took an amazing adventure to Kenya through the Masai Mara. I never felt so in awe by everything I saw from the animals to the landscape. It was absolutely breathtaking. I feel so grateful to have gotten this experience. I am truly lucky. Our safari group was so great, our guide was amazing, and the people in the Mara were warm-hearted and welcoming. Afterwards, we spent a day in Nairobi before taking a very long flight back to NYC. I’ve now been home for a few days. It has been a hard adjustment but I am slowly getting back into the rhythm of city life.

We visited an elephant and a giraffe sanctuary in Nairobi before heading back to NYC.

We got to feed the rescued giraffes at the giraffe sanctuary. This one is named Daisy. She has a big appetite.

I was in love.
