Safari Expert - East Africa
Hot Air Balloon over the Serengeti; hippos
There are places and experiences in this world that seem so far out of reach, we sometimes forget to dream of them. We add them to our bucket lists and plant them in the back of our mind, with a hopeful "Some Day" stamp on it; knowing in our heart of hearts that it is too much to ask for; that "some day" will never come.
I am here to make today, your "Some Day".
Recently I spent 2 weeks in East Africa, touring the country, inspecting various hotels, lodges and camps, trying different tour operators and guides, meeting with business owners and more. The sites I saw and the experiences I had were nothing short of extraordinary. I made connections and am continuing to build relationships with people there, on the ground, that are ready to make your vacation dreams come true.
The education and knowledge I came home with, is extensive, but I think the most important take-away from my travel is this: It is possible. Going on Safari is not out of reach. It is doable. It can even be easy.
So, bring that dream of a Safari to the fore front of your mind. Decide to be a tiny bit adventure and just explore it. Decide to take a step, just to see, if Going on Safari is even possible. You won't be disappointed.
