Living and traveling in East Africa brings a whole new perspective to the wildlife that once roamed the earth freely. In some places you may only see these animals in zoos or on screens inside, but when monkeys are stealing your avocados or you pass zebras on the daily commute it makes you think about your place in the ecosystem. Being face to face with a lion that seems to be looking straight through to your soul or feeling an elephant slip by unheard are memories not soon to be forgotten. These animals are part of what keeps our world in balance.
