Experience Amazing Africa on Safari

There is a reason the African safari has remained one of the most popular worldwide bucket list items for over 100 years.

No matter where on the continent you choose to spend your time, you will not be disappointed. In just four short days at Kruger and one morning in Hwange, I spotted over 200 birds, reptiles and mammals large and small. The experience was life-changing and I highly recommend that if you’ve got the safari itch, even a small one, do it!

In this blog you’ll see the best of photos taken on my trip. I hope it inspires you to start planning you’re own. If inspiration strikes, you can follow my same itinerary via my African Safari Trip Book, complete with a range of hotel recommendations and experiences. And if you’re looking for help planning a custom trip to Africa, get started here.
