African Safari
This Adventure is one of a kind. A “Photo Safari” including all the big game: Lions, Elephants, Giraffe, Rhino, Water Buffalo, Zebra, Leopard, Cheetah, Hippopotamus, Wildebeest, Hyena, Jackal, many varieties of birds and so much more. Two Private Guides escort us on our adventure via open-air Land Cruisers. We spend a week visiting four different parks where the animals roam with no borders or fences. Along the way, our guide, whose ancestors were Maasai Warriors, takes us to a Maasai Village where we have the opportunity to see how these tribes live in modern times.
After the first week we fly to the Island of Zanzibar in the middle of the Indian Ocean. This is a 5-star all-inclusive hotel on the west coast of Zanzibar, and there is plenty of time to relax by the beach or pool; horseback ride in the ocean; play golf and tennis; and explore the island via sight-seeing including scuba diving. The last day we spend touring the city of Stone Town, Birthplace of Freddie Mercury from Queen.
