JAMBO, JAMBO! In February 2024 the Roeders made their first Safari in East Africa, Kenya, and Tanzania. Come with them as they reflect on this trip through stories and pictures. Have you been and would you like to rekindle your memories? Are you contemplating your own journey? Maybe you prefer to stay at home and armchair travel? Topics will include: inspiration, preparations, landscapes, birds, people, food, and of course animals, animals, animals. Maybe a few jokes and laughs, with “awes” almost as guaranteed as impalas and elephants. Please join us.
