I honestly don’t know where to start. It feels like a simple thank you just won’t cut it. Since it’s the best that I can do for now, I will just settle for a big THANK YOU! Safari254 won the BAKE (Bloggers Association of Kenya) award for best travel blog this year and if it were not for you, yes you, we would not have made it this far.
Thank you to everyone who has been supporting us (even you silent ones who never comment… we don’t bite :). Thank you to every single person who voted as well. You are all awesome and then some.
