Explore.Dream.Discover This is Africa

Several years ago, I was contemplating my next vacation. I knew I wanted to visit a special place. A mystical landscape filled with many adventures I could only dream about, cosmopolitan cities to explore, unique cultural experiences where mankind was started, and animals rule the vast lands. A place to discover, like no other on this earth. One continent stood out. Where lions, giraffes and elephants roam free, and hunter gather societies still exist. This is Africa......

The more I researched the more I wanted to do. How does one choose between the Great Wildebeest Migration in the Serengeti, Gorilla trekking in Uganda, Victoria Falls, the deserts of Namibia, Etosha in Botswana. I wanted it all. So, I found an amazing overland company, Absolute Africa and it's 77-day grand safari adventure.

"Hakuna Matata.. What a wonderful phrase.. Hakuna Matata.. Ain't no passing craze.. It means no worries.. For the rest of your days.."

Life on the big yellow bus wasn't easy. Early morning wake-up calls, 10-12 hour driving days, bush toilets, showers with cool-ish water. setting up tents and cooking dinner at 8:00PM under the moonlight and head torches. From the first day on the truck to last, the adventures we had, made the trip so memorable. So come along with me as I start this journey through Africa and beyond. As I soared over the vast plains of the Massai Mara in a hot air balloon. To white water kayaking the Nile River in Uganda. Getting attacked by fire ants in Bwindi National Park while hiking to see the mountain gorillas. Helicopter ride over Victoria falls. The relaxing days on Lake Malawi to the night game drives in Etosha National Park. Quad bike riding the dunes of Namibia and saying our goodbyes as we wine tasted our way through South Africa. This is Africa
