Flying


There is something soothing about watching the shadow of your small plane glide across Africa's plains. To watch the shadow peacefully float across the tawny grass, the open plains, the savanna woodlands, the herds of ungulates, the red Masai shukas drying in the sun. To watch a flock of white egrets, yellow billed storks and pink flamingos take to the air gracefully as the shadow of our bird passes over them.


'Do not think about the past, do not fret about the future, be in the present.'

There is no better way to be in the present then to be in the wilderness. To be absorbed by the sky, the savanna and the wildlife. To float through the air. To sit peacefully for hours and watch a cheetah stalk her prey, no better way to be in the moment.
