It’s not just that safaris are generally super expensive, but also that, for most of us, they’re also hard to get to. But as anyone who’s taken one will tell you, that journey is not just part of the adventure but also the romance. Find out why here.
HERE WE ARE, off to embark on another adventure with one of our bubbliest contributors, Dr. Holly Hatcher-Frazier. This time: a safari in South Africa for which she herded up her husband and three adult kids. On this trip of a lifetime, they learned not just about wildlife, conservation and the big five, but also themselves.

As Black Americans who had never been to the continent of Africa, they found a previously untapped emotional connection and sense of place. As a normally loquacious bunch, they found comfort in silence, sitting alone together in the bush, eyes peeled, all senses on alert for wildlife sightings. As people constantly on the go… well, actually that part translated pretty well to the first part of this trip, at least, because it was a multi-legged multi-transport expedition to get from their various home cities in the States to a remote South Africa safari, via planes, cars, buses, four-wheel-drive and more.
Watch Holly’s account of her safari here and try not to be envious of all the animals they spotted:
