KENYA & TANZANIA: THE SAFARI EXPERIENCE

WHO IS IN FOR 2028???

Some vacations are measured in days.

Others are measured in moments you'll never forget.

Imagine watching the sunrise over the African savanna while elephants wander in the distance.

Enjoying breakfast in the middle of the bush as wildlife begins its day around you.

Watching the sun set with Mount Kilimanjaro in the background while sipping a drink in one of the most breathtaking settings on Earth.

This isn't a safari where you simply drive past animals.

It's an adventure through some of Africa's most famous wildlife areas, including the Maasai Mara, Serengeti, Amboseli, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Nakuru, and Lake Manyara.

You may spot the legendary Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and Cape buffalo—along with giraffes, cheetahs, zebras, hippos, crocodiles, and countless other incredible species.

You'll experience unforgettable moments like:

- Breakfast in the bush surrounded by Africa's iconic landscapes
- A traditional Maasai cultural experience
- Sundowner cocktails with Mount Kilimanjaro as your backdrop
- A visit to a chimpanzee sanctuary doing incredible conservation work
- An opportunity to meet local school children and learn about life in rural Tanzania
- A freshly prepared lunch inside the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater
- A farewell dinner under the African sky

And perhaps most importantly...

You'll experience the feeling of being completely immersed in one of the last great wild places left on Earth.

If Africa has ever been on your bucket list, this is the kind of journey that reminds you why travel is so powerful.

🌴 Day 9 – Port Stop:
Kralendijk, Bonaire 🇧🇶✨
�What an amazing day exploring this beautiful little island!
We got up bright and early to head down to the southern part of Bonaire to see the famous salt flats. The flats are HUGE pink‑tinted pools where seawater is evaporated by the sun, leaving behind pure salt crystals. The island has been harvesting salt this way for centuries—and yes, I even got to take home my own chunk of sea salt! 🧂💖

We also visited the slave huts, those small, stark white structures built in the 1800s where enslaved workers lived while they harvested salt. They’re a powerful reminder of the island’s history—tiny huts in breathtaking surroundings with a heavy past.

As we continued our drive around the south point, we passed several donkeys just hanging out—absolutely fearless and definitely the unofficial welcoming committee of Bonaire. 😂🫏

Bonaire is famous for shore diving—divers literally park their cars, gear up, and walk straight into the water. No boats needed! 🐠🤿 Such a dream for anyone who loves the ocean.

Fun fact I learned today: there’s no overnight camping allowed anywhere on the island except for about 10 days a year during Holy Week when locals camp along the beaches. ⛺️

The island is also committed to protecting its coastline—there are mangroves everywhere, and locals continue planting more to help protect the salt flats and maintain the ecosystem. 🌱💚

And get this—Bonaire has over 22,000 flamingos, almost as many as the human population of around 27,000! No wonder you see them everywhere. 🦩🦩🦩
We visited a gorgeous windy beach known for windsurfing! Both windsurfing and kitesurfing are two super popular sports here. I think I will try wind surfing if I come back🌊🎨

Their “downtown” (aka the main part of town) is only about 2–3 blocks long—small, cute, walkable, and low‑key. There’s no public transportation, so everyone just drives. And of course, the island is part of the Netherlands, which gives it such an interesting mix of Caribbean and Dutch charm.

Overall? Bonaire totally stole my heart.
�Super friendly people, not overrun with tourists, chill vibe, and natural beauty everywhere you look. I will absolutely be coming back for a week‑long stay. 🌺🌞

Bonaire… you were a wonderful surprise! 💖✈️🌴

🚢✨ I’m officially boarding Celebrity Ascent for an unforgettable 11‑day journey! ✨🚢
From March 16–27, I’ll be sailing aboard Celebrity Ascent on an incredible itinerary that transits the Panama Canal and visits the stunning ABC Islands — Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao 🌴🌊
Celebrity Ascent is truly something special. She’s one of Celebrity Cruises’ newest Edge‑Class ships, first sailing in late 2023, and still feels incredibly fresh, modern, and cutting‑edge. Everything about this ship is designed to elevate the cruise experience — from the architecture to the technology to the onboard experiences.
One of my favorite features? The balcony staterooms. Celebrity’s Infinite Veranda® rooms completely redefine what a balcony is. Instead of a traditional door, the floor‑to‑ceiling window comes down at the touch of a button, instantly transforming your room into an open‑air balcony space — giving you more usable room and uninterrupted ocean views. It feels spacious, sleek, and incredibly relaxing.
And yes… you can control your entire room from your phone 📱�Lights, temperature, curtains — all customizable right from the Celebrity app. It’s luxury meets smart living at sea.
Between sailing through one of the world’s greatest engineering marvels, soaking up the vibrant culture and crystal‑clear waters of the ABC islands, and experiencing one of the newest ships on the ocean, this journey is already shaping up to be unforgettable.
Follow along — I’ll be sharing highlights, ship features, and plenty of ocean views along the way! 🌊✨

Can you name this ancient city of marble streets and grand ruins? Once a thriving port in western Turkey, it was home to the famed Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Its grand theater and library still whisper stories of Roman life. (See below for the answer!) 😉
It’s Ephesus, Turkey! 🏛️✨
