About
Amara grew up in Enugu and has lived in Nairobi since 2018, first as a logistics coordinator for conservation projects and now as a writer. She covers East and Southern Africa: park fees, conservancy rules, the months when roads flood and the paperwork that stops people at borders. Her guides say which permits you need before they say which lodge is pretty.
