Close Encounters of the Whale Kind
We were being checked out by a 90,000 pound creature.
Finding Comfort in the Covid-19 Crisis
My job as a safari guide in Africa allows me to take women (and men) on journeys to the great wilderness of the African Bush. Where it all began. A place of alluring and ancient mystery, a place of extraordinary adventures for the brave at heart. Africa’s wilderness with the huge beasts and invisible scaries, […]
Snorkeling the Healthy Coral Reefs of Cuba!
Naturalist Kim Powell describes the thriving coral reef ecosystem of Cuba, which has been relatively untouched by tourism and over fishing. She recently returned from her first women’s trip to Cuba and shared her incredible story! “Before arriving  to Cuba, I had read about our forbidden neighbor’s thriving coral reefs.  A country frozen in time, Cuba […]
How to Make Manatee Memories!
I have had the incredible honor to swim alongside manatees for over 40 years. It began in the summer of 1969 when I saw my first manatee while fishing in the Gulf of Mexico near Clearwater, Florida. My father and I stood waist deep in water when something dark and large emerged next to us. […]
Close Encounter of the Whale Kind
It started with an excited cry from Biology Teacher, Jane Orbuch “Kim, there’s a whaleâ€.

Monkey Business
As a naturalist, I have learned a few tricks of the trade: Never look a monkey in the eye or set your passport down within their reach. Several years ago, my best friend from childhood HollyBeth and I headed off on an adventure to Bali. HollyBeth and I have been best friends for 4 decades. […]
I Made It!
I was going to try to make it. I was really going to try. But this time I couldn’t make it by myself. At least I knew that much. I was going to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro – again. I was going to climb it, all 19,340 feet of it, for the second time. My first […]

Why Risk My Life on a Mountain?
In 1998, I had an epiphany. I was busy whining to my friends and to myself about how useless my life had been up to that point, and when you’re in that place in your life sometimes it takes just the right word to change your life forever. By the end of 1998, I had […]
Safari Dreams
Africa can be a dream vacation, as it was for me. I thought I would just go, check it off my ‘bucket list’ and come home. But what happened to me is what happens for so many of my guests on safari. They walk through a door they never can, nor want to, close again. […]
