While in Kenya recently, I finally saw this beautiful lion known as Manywele. He is one of my new favorites.

Here I got him shaking his mane in slo motion. Did you notice the one little dreadlock?

This is a small part of the story of a sighting I had in November, 2022 in the Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya.

We found the Topi pride in the early afternoon just lounging in the grasslands.

As dusk came, the lions started to move...it was time to hunt.

about a sighting I had in the Maasai Mara National Reserve in November, 2022.

We found the Topi pride in the afternoon and stayed with them as the lounged around in the heat.

When dusk approached, they decided it was time to move...and then, from out of nowhere, there was a hippo.

And the hippo was walking straight into the pride of lions.

A very short and difficult video to watch as a wildebeest takes its last breaths and with a last effort tries to stand.

Ithumba Hill Lodge is one of the self-catering lodges run by Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. It is located near one of the areas where they re-integrate the orphaned elephants back into the wild. The experience is amazing!

I loved this lodge and the entire experience!

Located just minutes from the Wilson Airport, the Tamarind Tree hotel in Nairobi is bright and inviting. I enjoy staying at this convenient hotel in Nairobi. The food is good (the pasty shop is amazing), staff friendly, the rooms are big and comfortable.

The ambience, however, does not make you feel "Africa". If this is your first visit to Africa / Kenya, another hotel that feels more "safari" may be preferable. When you are inside this hotel, you could imagine being anywhere in the world.

a tour of the tent at the Mara Intrepids Camp in Kenya. I've stayed at this camp multiple times and I love the location. The tents are big and super comfortable. Running showers (as opposed to bucket showers), flush toilets, double sinks. It does take a few minutes for the hot water to get to the shower - but it's worth it.

The bar and sitting areas are very comfortable and the staff is amazing. The food is all safe to eat - even with my chlorinated USA body. The food is good - but not great.

A tour of one of the tents at the Mara Explorer Camp in Kenya. I stayed at this camp for one night and loved it. A few people thought the hippos were too loud at night but I really enjoyed the sounds of nature. The food was amazing, staff super nice and the main areas of the lodge (Not shown in this video) were super inviting.

This is a narrated video of one of the many crossings I've witnessed during the great migration. This one is from the Masai Mara to the Mara Triangle. We waited 6.5 hours for the crossing and it lasted over 15 minutes. Thousands of wildebeest and some zebras crossed and then after being separated from family groups, some wildebeest crossed back over.

It can be absolute chaos at a crossing. This one was pretty smooth. Seeing a crossing in person is heart pumping.

Tortillas Camp is a beautiful camp that is on the boundary of the National Park and a private concession that their guests can utilize. With views from the park of Mt. Kilimanjaro and elephants galore, Amboseli and Tortillis camp is a great stop!

This is one of the first camp reviews I did, so this one is mostly about the tent.

Amboseli, one of the most popular parks in Kenya is an amazing place to visit with views of Mt. Kilimanjaro and huge herds of elephants. This video is a walk through of the room at the Amboseli Serena Lodge. A nice lodge, that is larger than the ones I normally stay at. The rooms are clean and all the food is safe to eat. This is one of the first reviews I did back in 2019 so it is not as complete as other lodge reviews.

I visited this camp in September 2020. In this video, I discuss the camp and their preparation for COVID. This was my first visit to Il Moran Camp and I very much enjoyed it. The staff were incredible and so was the food. If you have a visit to the Masai Mara National Reserve, you should consider this camp.

Please sign the petition to ask the President of Tanzania to enforce the 30 year cease fire on super tuskers!

https://lisamroberti.com/petition

There are about 50 super tuskers left in the world. Approximately 10 live in the Amboseli region of Kenya.

These elephants often cross the close-by border into Tanzania (they do not understand invisible boundary lines) and are then shot by trophy hunters.

30 years ago, a similar hunting took place and 3 super tuskers were killed. Outrage from the public ended with a ban on shooting these elephants and that ban stayed in force until fall of 2023.

We are asking Tanzania to enforce the ban and save the super-tuskers.

You can read all about it at:
https://lisamrobert.com/super-tusker

With only 50 super tuskers left in the world, we must do everything we can to save them.

Seeing them in person is an experience that promotes awe and wonder...something I hope everyone gets a chance to see for many generations to come.

The remaining 10 super tuskers left in the Amboseli region of Kenya are in danger. They often roam into Tanzania as part of their rangeland (elephants don't understand invisible borders). It's in Tanzania that they are hunted.

For 30 years, a moratorium was in place to prevent hunting of these magnificent beings. That was ended in the fall of 2023 when a super tusker was killed. In less than 6 months, 3 were killed with more licenses sold.

It is up to us to have our voices heard. Please sign the petition to the President of Tanzania asking for this moratorium to be re-instated. You can find the petition here:
https://lisamroberti.com/petition

For more information, I have written a blog post with links to articles about the incidents mentioned above.

Thank you for joining me to save these elephants.

This video is private.

2024 had a lot of unexpected twists and turns. Images in this video are a good representation of the locations that I visited - not necessarily the best images I created.

The year started with a goal to get in the best fitness and health shape I could get into. An 8 week shred where I gave up sugar, gluten, soy and processed foods. Just after the shred ended, I was diagnosed with breast cancer and decided to quite sugar for the year. I'm happy to say I was successful in that endeavor. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.

Surgery, cancer treatments and several trips: S. Africa and Zambia, Tonga, and Kenya rounded out my year for wildlife.

Then an unexpected outcome of my trip to Tonga - a new relationship - a change from a long time friendship.

2025 starts out happy and healthy.

I hope you enjoy the 1 minute 45 second video of some of my past year.

Visiting the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Nairobi Kenya is both educational and fun. When there you can learn about the life saving work that they are doing as well as witness the orphans learning to live again.

When spending time in Nairobi, if you have a current adoption of one of the orphaned elephants, you can make a reservation for the afternoon bed time viewing. During this time, the elephants come back from the forest and they tell a little bit about the origin story of each elephant.

Then once they are all in, you can walk around the stockades to visit with the babies and talk to the keepers.

When visiting the great Masai Mara area in Kenya, there are many choices available. From the National Park itself, the Mara Triangle, and then many different conservancies.

The conservancies extend the wild areas while giving the locals income and a place to herd their livestock in harmony with the wildlife.

This video, is a compilation of some of the wildlife I saw while in Lemek, Ol Chorro, Enonkishu, and Naretoi Conservancies. I was staying at House in the Wild at the time of this visit - a great lodge that is doing remarkable things for conservation.

Recently, I joined Tropical Ice for their Great Walk of Africa trip. 100 miles on foot across Tsavo West and Tsavo East National Park.

This is the tent / toilet / shower set up. The campgrounds were moved by their crew. We always got the same tent. Sometimes the toilet and shower tents were a bit further away, but we each had our own.

This was the first campground location for the walk

In Fall 2025, I was a few days into a 100-mile walking safari through Tsavo National Park in Kenya when our guides stopped us without warning.

A few moments later, we saw them.

A family of elephants approaching the river. Females and their babies, moving quietly through the landscape. We eased back, found a spot behind some brush, and watched through the edges, barely breathing. Then the guides moved us quietly to the river's edge and we watched as the whole family crossed.

They had no idea we were there.

I have watched elephants many times before. But they always knew I was there.

This time was different. We were flies on the wall, watching completely natural behavior, undisturbed.

It was one of the most peaceful moments I have ever had in the wild.

What happened as we walked away from that sighting changed everything.
