Good read but would have appreciated a breakdown of costs.
Your article bought me back to our safari in Tanzania in 1998. Also did a river safari. Nah!! Twelve days on safari is not too much. I encourage anybody who has bucket list trips to seriously consider taking them when it is safe.
Can you elaborate on the process of securing 12 nights of childcare?
We were very fortunate to have both sets of grandparents and a part-time nanny friend willing to help. Securing childcare is often the biggest challenge when booking trips without kids!
Good stuff Amy – though a rough budget/breakdown of costs would have been helpful!
What a wonderful journey, something straight out of National Geographic…. Make me want to book a trip just like that in the next few months. What an adventure! Great Post !!
Great read, Amy. Would love to see more of these posts in the future. Also, would love to see the Reader Success Stories series brought back too. Always fun to read about other trips that people have taken with their points!
