Imagine yourself traveling to a foreign country, exploring new cultures, and embarking on exciting adventures. Now, picture a scenario where someone hides their passports in their underpants. Sounds quite intriguing, doesn't it? Well, believe it or not, this unusual practice has been employed by some individuals who are desperate to smuggle important documents across borders.

The Exploits of Underpants Passport Smuggling

Passports are essential travel documents, serving as proof of one's identity and nationality. However, due to increased border security and stringent checks, some individuals have resorted to creative and sometimes strange ways of concealing these crucial documents. One such method involves hiding passports inside undergarments.

The idea behind hiding passports in underpants is to make them less likely to be discovered during a search. Smugglers ingeniously tuck the documents away in strategic locations, often within specially designed pouches or compartments. The practice requires individuals to endure discomfort and anxiety, as their secret cargo rests undetected on their person.

Strike back at the pandemic and take the trip of a lifetime without leaving your home. Join our Kenyan photo safari complete with tented camps, Maasai guides, and intimate encounters with Africa’s wildest animals. See why Readers' Favorite named our lively photo safari a winner with their Bronze medal for 2020.

If you have not been on safari before, make our safari your first. If you have, join us and let us inspire your return.
Whatever your status, join our remarkable 12-day safari into the heart of Africa. Let my camera be your eyes on a photo safari like no other. Leave your inhibitions and preconceptions at home. They will be shattered on this journey.

Our trip will take us to eco-friendly camps on wild conservancies leased from the native Maasai. The animals will be abundant. And, with experienced guides in off-road vehicles, we will get closer, much closer, than expected to the wildest creatures on the planet.

Join us inside a pride of 28 lions as they surround and separate a herd of zebras. Follow us to a waterhole and watch a bull elephant confront four thirsty male lions with a surprising and fragrant rebuke.

Share our surprise as a massive cape buffalo leaps to mount a female only to land on top of a bull. And, help celebrate with a baby rhino who prances after zebras and warthogs on the Maasai plain.

We will puzzle over sleepwalking elephants and be enthralled as a mother cheetah trains her cubs to hunt. An adult leopard will get so close that our hearts will skip a beat.

The people will be memorable too. Like the seasoned traveler who keeps his passports in his underpants. Or, the young woman from Sidney whose hands shake as she describes a lion brushing against her tent the night before.

Meet the Maasai who live in two vastly different worlds - a pastoral one of small, mud-house villages and a modern one with cell phones, motorcycles, and bush planes.

How many wives does it make sense to have in a changing world? Our Maasai guides will give you their answer.

Our travels will take us to some of Kenya’s wildest conservancies. One, where we start, will be in a wildlife park near Nairobi. It may be the only place in the world where you can see wild zebras and rhinos with an urban skyline in the background.

After two nights there, a bush plane will take us to the Selenkay Conservancy near Amboseli National Park. We will camp in the shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro where elephants, lions, wildebeests, zebras, impalas, gazelles, hippos, ostriches, gerenuks, and giraffes abound.

Our outings will include night game drives and day hikes, one with Maasai guides to see their village. But the highlight of the visit will be a trip to the Amboseli wetlands, one of Africa’s jewels.

Next, we will head to the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in the foothills of Mt Kenya where rhinos are plentiful. We will have two days and nights with game drives and walks while camping near an active waterhole.

From there it is on to the Olare Motorogi Conservancy for four days and nights with a chance to spot the elusive leopard. The area is also home to lions, cheetahs, zebras, cape buffalos, elephants, rhinos, hippos, hyenas, jackals, mongooses, and warthogs.

From here, we will also explore the Maasai Mara Reserve and take a full day to follow the Great Wildebeest Migration. Come with us and watch the herds approach the river, wait, and then race across. Be there when a lion jumps a wildebeest right in front of our vehicle as other wildebeest wait anxiously to race to the river and cross.

Would you like to see a male lion tricked out of its kill by his female companions? Or, a pair of male topi fight for dominance over their herd?

Join us. Take a safari like no other. And, do it without leaving your chair.
