Spain and Transatlantic
Sept. 28 - Nov. 5, 2025
This trip has us doing a deep-dive into Spain starting with centrally located Madrid, the capital of Spain, and visits to Toledo and Salamanca. Next, we will drive to the Mediterranean coast with a stay at the seaside town of Tossa del Mar, taking day trips in the Catalonia region. Afterwards, we’ll meet up with family and friends in Barcelona, followed by a 7-day cruise to additional Spanish ports, plus Gibraltar and Marseille, France. Finally, we’ll cross the Atlantic Ocean from Barcelona to Fort Lauderdale, with a couple of stops along the way. If you are interested in Spanish culture and history, we hope you’ll follow along on the blog here, or on Instagram @mageesonthego. Estar bien! Be well!

What we saw on Safari
We started keeping track on about the third day of safari and it became a group project to make sure we were documenting all the wonderful mammals, birds and reptiles we were seeing. We probably missed a few, but here is the list. 1. Montane Nightjar 2. Spotted Eagle...
Safari Wrap Up
As mentioned in our prologue, this trip has been a bucket list trip for both of us. We were fortunate to be able to do it with good friends, and to have our health so we could enjoy the experience. Logging nearly 1000 miles, over 14 days, in a mostly open jeep, was...
Funny Animal Videos
On safari, there was no lack of opportunities to see animals doing funny things. The zebras, in particular, were caught scratching themselves on many an inanimate object. We caught a stork trying to drown another stork, to get what was in his mouth. We caught a male...
Maasai and Tribal Videos
Interacting with and learning about the Maasai was an unexpected and pleasant surprise of the trip. Our initial interactions were having them protect us as we walked around the camps at night. Always friendly, always watching. Then we got to see them perform...

Travel from Amboseli
Today was our last day in Amboseli, and our final day of safari. We were on our last game drive by 6am, finding elephants immediately. The air was crisp but not cool, and Mount Kilimanjaro was hiding again, behind the clouds. The elephants were standing in swamp...
Great Migration Crossing Videos
We were very fortunate to capture a full crossing of the Mara River, in Serengeti N.P., on 28 AUG 2026. The first video is of the Wildebeest herd, thinking about crossing, but seeing a croc in the water and returning to the top of the bank. The second video shows the...
Serengeti Balloon Safari Videos
We enjoyed a balloon flight over the Serengeti, on 29 AUG 2026, with Miracle Experience Serengeti Balloon Safari. Commentary on the balloon ride can be found in blog post Northern Serengeti National Park. Back to Blog
Amboseli National Park, Kenya
We had a two-hour drive to the border but the road was paved and we enjoyed talking to our driver, Nickson. He has completed his university courses in accounting but has decided that that line of work is not for him. He is now serving as a cultural guide and transfer...
