You are my Africa...

Burnt orange and crimson splashes across the canvas of the sky.....
Africa, I see you.
The call of the wild echoes through the night.....
Africa, I hear you.
Your sweet fruits and plentiful bounty.....
Africa, I taste you.
The dust rises over the Leopard Hills bush
as I walk through your undiscovered country.....
Africa, I feel you.
Part of my soul remains with you once I am gone.....
Africa, I am you.
You are my Africa, Africa of my soul.
-a poem left on our pillows at Leopard Hills

In 2 weeks Barbara and Michael King will head to southern Africa to do what they love, go on safari! This time, accompanied by some of Great Getaways clients, the Kings of Travel will visit Botswana, Zambia and South Africa. A strong believer in rough luxe, Barbara quipped, "Who knew a city girl would LOVE adventure vacations? Of course, this isn't the down-and-dirty back to nature adventure Michael enjoys---mountain biking across the Rockies, rafting the Futuleufu River in Chile. I want a hot shower, great food, and comfy bed on my adventures!"

When asked about his favorite moments on safari, Michael responded, " I think I love the vistas-no, wait, the animals, definitely the animals---and the people! I can't choose! Safaris appeal to all my senses and I find them very spiritual, as well."

If an African safari is on your radar screen, consider joining us in June, 2012, when we will explore another favorite country, Tanzania and we will experience the beginning of the annual wildebeest migration! For the itinerary for that experience, contact Michael@greatgetaways.travel or 800 546 TRIP (8747).
