//Safari & Landmarks//


There is a Wildness to Africa
that has arrested our attention the last few trips.
We often see in it's people & in it's landscape an
uninhibited approach to life, not concerned about making
a good impression, being politically correct, or altering their way of life because "the West" does it different.
We love the relational culture, that is raw and real.
This thriving culture is amplified in the bush.
The quiet, still-nature of a safari 
Sobers the Soul, and awakens our senses to
the majesty of our Creator.
