Two Nights of Wonder at the Smoke That Thunders.
This trip became so much more than the bucket list dream of seeing animals on a safari in Africa. It truly was a magical glimpse into the beauty of the land, the culture, the people and animals. The views were breathtaking; the food was delicious; the staff was welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable; the game rides were a new experience each time; the wildlife was vast and captivating; and the tents are like nothing I have never seen before (glamping doesn’t even begin to describe it)! This is truly a place that is hard to leave. I felt like I came as a tourist and left as family. From the sounds of hippos on the lake to the views of baby warthogs scurrying past zebras to the picturesque views of giraffes gracefully roaming the open land, there truly is nothing like this magical place!
