Deb and Mike, 2018 Safari
In September 2018 we were fortunate to be able to accompany Sally on her safari. Sally has a unique ability to seamlessly integrate South Africa’s many incredible wonders, along with a powerful understanding of conservation and the need for preservation of endangered wild life. Sally’s profession as a vet, plus the relationships she’s nurtured over the years, along with her many visits to South Africa, enabled us to go behind the normal tourist barriers and be exposed to the real ecological challenges of wild life preservation. Sally’s choices of accommodation and activities in the wild life reserves were beyond our expectations. The intimacy of a small group gave us flexibility and a unique experience which we’d never thought possible. Anyone with an interest in wild life and South Africa, this safari is a must for you, and we’d be happy to share our experience with anyone thinking of going. Finally, thank you Sally for the most wonderful holiday of our lives. We didn’t want it to end!
