One trip report down, another to go. When school wrapped up and summer started, the first thing I did was hop on a plain to Africa. This was definitely one of the most adventurous trips I have gone on (and the only one requiring shots), so I am excited to share my experience.
Despite planning the trip at a relatively last minute (for me), I was able to book quite a few stays and flights that I was very excited about. Unfortunately, not everything went as planned, things were canceled, and last minute changes were made.
This trip report includes the highs and the lows of what was my unforgettable and amazing trip around East Africa this May including a safari in Kenya, the beach in Zanzibar, hiking Mt. Kilimanjaro, and exploring Addis Ababa.

The Last Point
While this is a long Africa trip report, some of my adventures, such as my stay at the JW Marriott Masai Mara, were truly outstanding and I cannot wait to share more. My goal is to finish up this report before the end of June. If there are any other topics you want me to cover, comment below!
