First Friday Wild Post Round Up!



To date, we’ve featured heaps of awesome First Friday Wild Posts, so we thought it was about time for a round up!  Get ready to feast your eyes on everything from grasshoppers to Africa's game, and watch out for next Friday’s blog post, as we’ll be chatting with Crazy about Kenya artist Shake Makelele, an award winner who is due to exhibit in London this coming October.

A Big Five thanks to all the First Friday Wild Post pundits who’ve come on board, and if you’re up for a shot at commentating and would like to put your travel bug in the spotlight, email us at info@acacia-africa.com. Feeling inspired?  Check out our new look website and get yourself in the mood for Africa!



Adventure pundit, Rob Fitzsimmons (a.k.a. Adventure Rob), gave us his take on fried grasshoppers, and whether or not to hook up while out on the road! A laugh out loud post that's well worth the read...
