It’s a frog invasion! After no good rains since last May, they are finally making up for lost time, in 3-part harmony: high-mid-low.
Have a nice day. 🤗

Guests and I and our caddies had the most amazing sun circular rainbow with us for over two hours at Kili Golf today. I’ve never seen this before and have no idea how it happens. And nope, this picture has not been edited.
Have a nice day. 🤗
P.S. My scoring was much less inspiring than the rainbow. Somehow, I’m losing my touch around the greens. No idea how that happens either. 😉

Something new! Recent guests, on their Kikwe village walking tour, show off the new bridge connecting the Dashir side of the river with the village centre and schools. Requested by the villagers, and built by Dashir, the bridge provides safe access to our health centre in the April-May long rainy season when the river often gushes with water. And, the students on the Dashir side can now walk safely to and from school without wading across (very dangerous for the young ones) or being turned away.
Have a nice day. 🤗

Thanks to BP, on a family safari in early January, for these pictures and descriptions.
Pic 1 - This was a hilarious interaction between a banded mongoose and a Topi. The Topi was just laying there minding it’s own business and this mongoose came up behind it and nipped it on the butt! We all got a good laugh, well except the Topi!
Pic 2 - I love this photo of us from the Serena hotel . We enjoyed the views and being outside from all the accommodations.
Have a nice day. 🤗

Jambo Jambo everyone!
We recently welcomed a guest couple (not pictured here) coming from another African country, with some unfortunate minor bowel issues.
The next morning after arrival, they toured the health centre, with a "pit stop" to get tested. Within one hour, the problems were properly diagnosed, and they started taking medicine.
Thereafter, they continued with their two planned day trips, and were well on the mend by the time they headed out for their amazing safari adventure.
The health centre is a blessing to many in the Kikwe community, and also the "greater Dashir community"! Asante sana. Thanks so much to all who are supporting this venture.
Have a nice day. 🤗

P.S. 35 Kikwe patients were ably served today: antenatal moms, child immunizations, family planning consultations, several ultrasound scans, and a myriad of other health interventions.

Just in from WF, on a Tarangire game drive today - a "Big 4 out of 5," and incredible sightings of all three of the "big cats." Tarangire never fails to deliver an amazing safari experience.
Have a nice day. 🤗

Jambo Jambo Dashir friends! This email just came in from LL, a guest coming later this year:
----------------
I keep hearing from who is currently with you, "you will LOVE your safari vacation!!" and "You think you've seen it all by 10 am but it keeps getting better and better!!" Only 293 days left!!!
-----------------
Yup, it's a "toot our own horn" post, that makes me smile.
Have a nice day. 🤗

Happy New Year Dashir friends! Hope you are doing well.
This morning we celebrated our first full work day of the year with a big circle of guests and workers. A lovely three-generation family from America joined us, after an "amazing, unbelievable" safari, where, as we often hear, they saw "everything." The grandma, "Bibi" in Swahili, choked up when she shared about how much it meant to her, after visiting Tanzania two other times, to share the experience with her family. She also told us later that this was the BEST VISIT OF ALL to Africa, and loved every moment at Dashir.
Have a nice day. 🤗

Have a nice day. 🤗
