The Global Photographer

I love it when I get the chance to have new experiences in Africa. I find that on most safaris I fly in, I go out for some wildlife photography, and I come home. All in a day's work. But every now and then I get a chance to lead a private safari, and we have some additional flexibility to add in things that might not be as photographically rich or rich in wildlife, but rather just plain old fun.

So back in 2003 I took an afternoon to go biking amongst a Maasai community. It was a complete blast. We taught a few children how to ride a bicycle, and I think we and the Maasai had an afternoon of fun and laughter. I only speek a few words of Maasai, and I suspect I used all them up within the first few minutes.
