537 - Chris and Nani on Lake Eyasi, Tanzania

Published: July 21, 2022, 2:18 p.m.

Chris and Nani manage the amazing Kisima Ngeda Camp, on Lake Eyasi, Tanzania. Chris grew up nearby after his German parents moved to Africa on an impulse, and stayed on, while Nani stumbled into this oasis while adventuring through as a penniless, apparently fearless traveler. The story of how they met, fell in love, and built a world will make you feel good about life, people, and chance. (I never got around to taking a photo of Chris and Nani, but they\u2019re even more attractive than you\u2019re imagining.)
