ABOUT THE SAFARI
WHO IS IT FOR?
If you’ve avoided an African Safari because you’re afraid that getting around in a foreign country would be scary or a hassle, or that you’d have to sleep in tents in the middle of the desert, this trip is for YOU! You don’t have to figure out how to drive on foreign roads or rent a vehicle. You don’t have to miss the scenery because you’re driving. You don’t have to argue with your spouse about what sites you should see and how long it will take to get there. No wondering if you’ve packed everything you need. I’ve made all the arrangements and you just have to sit back and relax in 5-star luxury and not worry!
