AFRICA
The journey worth taking
by Tim L. Tetzlaff
Director of Conservation & Communications | Naples Zoo at Caribbean Gardens
I t’s been said that travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer. And while
some purchases give fleeting joy, the investment in travel grows in profound ways
over time. I recently had the honor of hosting another safari to East Africa and
experiencing that joyous wonder on the faces of fellow travelers – and mine, too.
NATURAL BEAUTY
The sight of a lone acacia tree silhouetted against the equatorial sunset quiets me.
Standing on the rim of Ngorongoro crater, a place I’ve heard stories about since age four,
has brought glad tears to my eyes. And day after day on safari, I find myself grinning in
appreciation that my waking eyes are blessed to witness the world of my dreams.
