The Share and Save Series is pleased to present

I'm in Heaven or in Africa or in a Hot-Air Balloon

I had never seen an elephant from above
I had never had champagne for breakfast at 8 am
I had never been face-to-face with a wild leopard
I had never flown in a hot-air balloon

They say that there is always a first time for everything and, in my case, my time to do all of the above came when we got to the Masai Mara.

The Masai Mara is a 1510 km2 national reserve situated to the west of Kenya, which is renowned for the number and diversity of its wildlife. As soon as I found out that it was possible to fly over it in a hot-air-balloon, I knew it would be one of the “culminating” experiences of our trip...and I was right!

April 26, 2010An Appeal to Help Sadabe Help

Theme: Causes / By Guests / Invités / Tags: Africa, Madagascar

Dear Altitude Blog readers,

I am writing on behalf of our group “Sadabe” (a Montreal-based NGO), to request your donation of equipment for our first cooperative women’s health workshop to be held in Madagascar with our sister organization “Taratra Reny sy Zaza” in September 2010. Sadabe’s goals are to promote a better and more effective coexistence for Madagascar’s humans and its wildlife, and to improve the education and health of the local Malagasy people in the region.
