The Silence of the Serengeti

What comes to mind when someone mentions Africa? Whatever you’re picturing almost certainly falls short of the real thing. If you haven’t been yet, this is one destination I urge you to move near the top of your list.

Where do I even begin? Not only do you get one of the greatest songs ever written as the unofficial soundtrack for your trip, but you also get to experience the land the way God made it. Imagine the soft rustle of a breeze moving through tall grass in Botswana, just enough to reveal a hidden lion cub. Or the pure magic of standing at Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe as the mist rises around you.

Then there’s the heart-pounding side of it: the radio crackles with an alert that a leopard is draped across a branch, waiting. Your guide floors the safari vehicle past a pack of hyenas while two ostriches spar over territory. Catching the Big Five in a single trip felt like a dream realized - and our guides pursued those sightings with the focus and grit of Olympic athletes.

Once you’ve watched the sun drop behind a herd of elephants moving slowly across the savanna, you’ll understand why so many people never want to leave.

Don't wait. Book your luxury safari vacation today. Your only regret will be that you haven't gone sooner.
