Flat Stanley Goes to Kenya (10): Nairobi National Park

January 2, 2011 By Guy St. Clair

Nairobi is well known as “safari central,” the place in Africa where most safaris go from, but what many people don’t realize is just how much safari-like pleasure can be found close at hand. There will be further descriptions later of two of the near-by highlights (the Giraffe Center and the Elephant Orphanage, both of …

Masai Mara (12): Elephants

May 27, 2010 By Guy St. Clair

Secretary Bird and the Big Guys

January 6, 2010 By Guy St. Clair

I’m always perplexed when people ask me about my “favorite” anything. People who know me know I’m an opera person, and as new friends discover that, the next question is always “What’s your favorite opera?” Can’t say. It’s usually the one I’ve just come out of. Same with the great cathedrals. After a couple of …
