Africa is our passion. Africa is our home.
This trip has by far exceeded the expectations of the entire family. There was something in for everybody, and we came back with lots of ideas for future trips.
The Ranger Safaris team, and especially our driver was phenomenal. He was really good with the children, giving explanations and making them curious about what they were seeing. We loved every minute.
We saw all big five, some several times. Every day we discovered something new and it got better day by day. We would, and will recommend this trip to our friends.
