BETH'S TRAVEL BLOGTraveling to Africa with Ruth was truly the experience of a lifetime. Every detail of our trip (2023) was thoughtfully planned and carried out....from, upon arrival, being escorted to the front of the line at customs, to ensuring that we had her favorite safari guide at the camps. If you're looking for an unforgettable journey into the heart of Africa, you couldn't ask for a better way to do it.
I have travelled around the world...but I keep coming back to Africa with Ruth. After three trips to Africa with Ruth (one in 2023 & two in 2024), I can wholeheartedly say, this is the perfect way to go. First class accommodations in small, unique camps, exceptional food and A-1 service everywhere, leads me to say: "I highly recommend"
Ruth has been going to Africa for many years . With her organizational skills and connections, she has created a well- oiled series of trips to several African countries. These are small group tours in which every detail is considered. We traveled with her in 2022 and the trip was flawless. We are already planning our next African adventure with Ruth!
In August 2024, I went on the trip of a lifetime to Kenya with Ruth Ellen. While the amazing wildlife sightings turned out to be the equivalent of several trips in one ( lucky for me), the entire experience was enhanced by Ruth’s knowledge of the itinerary she selected for our group. Her attention to detail AND her love of Kenya continually showed through and enhanced this unbelievable experience. Nothing was left to chance...from escorting us to the front of the line coming through customs to hand picking the most knowledgeable guides for our safari drives. If small groups and personalized attention are what you want, I would recommend an African safari with Ramblin With Ruth!!

I claim the good fortune of having traveled several times with Ruth—from diving the Red Sea, exploring Hawaii, to multiple safaris in Africa. Ruth's exuberance, charisma, & insistence that everything go well is outstanding. There's no need to pack the aspirin with Ruth as your ‘magical genie’ in a bottle! Just relax, take it all in, & enjoy!
