Come along for the ride as John and his wife visit Kenya's traditional villages, awesome national parks, and photo hunt the Big Five. For ten days, they explore the beautiful country while their jack-of-all trades driver and tour guide tells them stories about the country's complex history and cultures. During the trip, they deal with John's bug phobia, eat meals in the company of a variety of critters, and John is finally able to prove to everyone that the rope he carries with him on every trip really is useful. From Lions to Pharaohs is a two-book series. Book 1 covers his time in Kenya and book 2 covers his time in Egypt. John hopes that his travel stories will inspire readers to embark upon their own travel adventures to these fascinating countries.
