A Guide to The Serengeti Safarito feel you are in Africa proper like the early explorers [with the exception of a luxury tented Lodge] then this is your park. See my article Katavi National Park.

A Life of Adventure? Larry was absorbed in protoplasms; his was to be a medical career. Irving (he dreamed sometimes) was struggling unsuccessfully to keep his mind on constitutional government. What futility it all was?stuffing themselves with profitless facts and figures, when the vital and the beautiful things of life ? the moonlight, the apple orchards, the out-of-door sirens?were calling and pleading for recognition.?From there, Halliburton went around the world and began his life of...
A Life of Adventure?
Copyright 2005 Mark ColeIn a conversation recently, a friend remarked to me: ?Every man dies, but not every man lives.? If you think about it, that is profoundly true and rather disturbing.

A Lightweight Backpacking Adventure
