Thank you Faith for such a memorable day! I was impressed learning about the amount of work the women put into making their beautiful beads, enjoyed the uplifting energy of the dancers and especially appreciated learning about Karen Blixen’s life from the guide in the photo who’s name unfortunately I’ve forgotten - he was great! And finally the giraffes, they steal your heart!
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review! It truly means a lot to hear how much you enjoyed the experience. The women take great pride in their beadwork, so your appreciation will mean the world to them. I’m also so glad you felt the energy of the dancers—it’s always such a special part of the day! I’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to the guide at Karen Blixen—he’ll be thrilled to know he made such a great impression. And yes, the giraffes have a way of stealing hearts every single time 😊 It was a pleasure hosting you, and I hope to welcome you again someday! Warm regards,
