Peter and Jacky Emery are well known for their biannual Botswana wild camping safaris.

But every couple of years they like to throw in an extra, more-luxurious, special safari.

Peter said on 1 March 2024, they will be escorting a small-group luxury bushcamp safari through all the best wilderness locations in Kenya, home of the movies Out of Africa and Born Free.

“We’ve partnered with Gamewatchers Safaris who operate beautiful permanent tented camps in a variety of locations.

“It is a 15-day/14-night safari visiting Amboseli National Park, Meru National Park, Ol Pejeta Conservancy in the shadow of Mount Kenya, and the highlight – the Masai Mara Game

Reserve.

“We fly on a light aircraft between locations in order to be able to spend more time with the wildlife and no time at all on long, hot, dusty cross-country drives.

“The tents at the bushcamps are huge, often containing two queen-sized beds and a lounge area. They have an ensuite shower and flushing toilet and of course, lighting inside the tent. The great thing about being under canvas is that although you are experiencing a high level of comfort, you can still hear the sounds of the nighttime wildlife. It’s quite magical.”

Peter said the first two nights will be spent at the four-star Tamarind Tree Hotel in Nairobi, with a day trip to visit the Daphne Sheldrick Elephant

Orphanage, The Giraffe

Centre and the Karen Blixen Museum.

“The Karen Blixen Museum is actually situated in Karen Blixen’s farmhouse of Out of Africa fame. The first words of the film are:

‘I had a farm in Africa at the foot of the Ngong Hills’, and you can still see those same Ngong Hills today from the farmhouse, although it has since been swallowed up by a suburb called appropriately ‘Karen’.”

Peter said all meals and drinks in the bushcamps are included and the food is superb.

“This really is a once-ina-lifetime opportunity to experience a real Out of Africa adventure.”

Real-world sounds,

More than 7 out of 10 hearing aid users are challenged by disruptive sounds.

These include:

• Ringing phones

• Blowing wind

• Clicking keyboards

• Slamming doors

• Rattling keys

• Creaking doors

• Tapping fingertips

Soft and loud sounds are everywhere. They are the sounds of the real world.

Together, they provide richness and meaning to an environment. But for most hearing aid users, those everyday sounds can be disruptive, which can be challenging on a daily basis.

As a hearing aid user, you want those sounds to be available without being disruptive.

You want to hear the turn signal in your car without stealing your focus. Or hear the sound of chopping vegetables, without interrupting a conversation with dinner guests.

Traditional hearing aid technology has been too slow to react, leading to unnatural overamplification of these sounds.
