  • I dont wanna go to work Fly me back to
    6 days ago by asianmapleleaf I don’t wanna go to work... Fly me back to Africa!! :)) There were so many airstrips in and around the Maasai Mara that made getting in and out super easy.  #latergram   #kenya   #africa   #safari   #africianadventure   #visitafrica   #gaysian 
  • Pool party!!!! Before going my trip to Kenya I thought
    2 weeks ago by asianmapleleaf Pool party!!!! Before going my trip to Kenya, I thought I would be “roughing” it but it was far from it! We were for the most part living it up! Everything from gourmet meals, to spas, to fancy hotel rooms. This is the way to travel hahaha (now I just need to win the lottery to keep it up!)  #latergram   #kenya   #africa   #masaimara   #hotelpool   #fairmontmoments   #passionpassport 
  • The category is safari realness! I finally uploaded some more
    3 weeks ago by asianmapleleaf The category is safari realness! I finally uploaded some more safari photos from our dslr. There are so many more photos I can share but you get the idea! Lol. I think it’s best if you just plan a trip out there and see for yourself . I have lots of tips now that I’ve been so feel free to message me... I love vacation planning!  #latergram   #kenya   #africa   #gameviewing   #safari   #animals   #wildlife   #wildebeest   #greatmigration   #visitafrica 
  • I was a bit worried we would be roughing it
    3 weeks ago by asianmapleleaf I was a bit worried we would be roughing it in Kenya but it was far from it. Most of our accommodations during this trip were amazing especially given it is location in the middle of the wilderness. My one request for this vacation was to be able to visit all 3 Fairmont Hotels in Kenya! Everyone know I am a bit obsessed with exploring hotels so this was the perfect opportunity — one is a luxury tent right on the edge of the Masai Mara, the next is location right on the equator over looking Mount Kenya, the last
  • The great migration is sometimes considered one of the wonders
    4 weeks ago by asianmapleleaf The great migration is sometimes considered one of the wonders of the natural world (largest mammal migration). There are almost 2 million wildebeest, zebras and gazelles moving back and forth between Kenya and Tanzania following the rain and food. It was such a treat to see them in person... at times it seemed like they were all around for as far as we can see.  #kenya   #africa   #gameviewing   #safari   #animals   #wildlife   #wildebeest   #greatmigration   #visitafrica   @ddivineblackk 
  • Riding a hot air balloon above the animals and landscape
    1 month ago by asianmapleleaf Riding a hot air balloon above the animals and landscape of Kenya was really cool because you can view everything you would see on a game drive but from a different perspective. It was my first hot air balloon ride and I was excited from the first moment we arrived at the take off site really early in the morning. We were able to take in the sunrise and grazing animals from up high above!  #kenya   #africa   #gameviewing   #safari   #animals   #hotairballoon   @d3nniskong
