This was a life-transforming experience for us. To see wildlife in such abundance and in such natural conditions is extraordinary. We were shocked and delighted by the way most of the wildlife were ignorant to our jeep and our presence allowing us to get so close. We also learned so much about the local cultures and ways of life of the various tribes for which were all too ignorant prior to our trip. The trip afforded us the opportunity to make acquaintances with some of the locals which we enjoyed. Also, we are proud to participate in some small way in activities like G-sponsored clean stove project and Ubuntu Life and seeing how they transform lives.
