    Great video! Loved your trip to Africa! It made me feel like I was there. Loved seeing the animals. The monkeys. That glow worm was awesome to see. Loved it. The baboon was scary when it was trying to come into your room. He was at the swimming pool. Sorry you didn’t see the leopards. Nice they gave you a breakfast they gave on a hill and they took you there by ballon. This was an awesome trip and journey to be with you all. Thank you so much for taking me along with you. Love you guys and you’ll bring back home in your Rv home. Safe travels and see you soon!

    Wow, just wow! Nathan, Marissa & Kiddos, what an absolutely Incredible and beautiful Africa series JOURNEY this all has been!! I Love how everything you all do, see, go, & explore, is nearly ALWAYS with Intention in your hearts to educate, help and literally BE Missionary's for "a Cause", and I'm a Huge Supporter of that, y'all are not only Ahhmazing Parents, but true Adventurer's/Explorer's, and Hensley & JJ are already little intelligent, worldly travelers, but I can't even imagine how much they're going to know this world so much more than the very many of those who aren't living the lifestyle y'all are, they will both THRIVE in Life! Such a blessing. I know they will be eternally grateful for the adventurous life you brought them up in! I Love that for them too!! Thank you Soo much for the amazing videography, creativity, wonderfully put together videos and y'all's storytelling skills are top notch!! I could watch 60 minutes of video from you guys ANY time! Bittersweet that your Kenya trip is ending, I'm looking forward to "Whatever is next" tho. 🥰🌟
    Stay Safe & Stay Blessed 🙌✝️💞

    You guys are suuuper lucky to see colobus, blue monkeys, go-away-birds, crested cranes, hyrax, that rain forest place was the absolute bomb! You can tell nobody had miss treated the monkeys there, they are usually really shy. And then the Serena AND a baloon trip!????!! Really you couldn't have done much better, I'm very jelous!!!Last time was 40+ years ago I saw a colobus as a kid when they used to have them in Nakuru. Very lucky, you did extremely well! It's so sad to hear about the women and their problems, I wish the government would sort it out more. I'd like to do the whole of Africa in an RV like yours, that would be superb! Anyway glad you liked the places and yes baboons are huge and very strong and completely ignore women, unfortunately all monkeys will come in!
