August 12 is World Elephant Day

August 9, 2022 By Guy St. Clair

One Man’s Special Interest Each of us has one or another special interest, and I’m often teased because I have three (and they are all reflected in the posts in this personal blog).

Masai Mara (13): An Historic Sighting

May 28, 2010 By Guy St. Clair

While I had made it clear to Charles and to Tomas that I would dearly love to see more elephants, as many as we could fine, I was pretty comfortable with the idea that one doesn’t necessarily see what one expects (or wants) to see on a safari. So I was pretty satisfied with our …
