Guide to Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve

Talk about a bucket list trip, traveling to Africa was a dream come true and it cannot be complete without a safari.  Now that I've got a taste, I'm left craving more.    Sabi Sabi went beyond my expectations and took my ideas of a safari to a luxurious level.

Sabi Sabi: Day 3

We weren't sure how we could top such an extraordinary first safari, but we tried anyway at 5:30 a.m. the next day.  Early, but the anticipation cured any fatigue.
