“One of the gladdest moments of human life is the departure upon a distant journey into unknown lands. Shaking off with one mighty effort the fetters of habit, the leaden weight of routine, the cloak of many cares and the slavery of home, man feels once more happy.” – Richard Burton

We trust you are all staying healthy and sheltering safely in place.  While we may not be able to escape the slavery of home for a distant journey into unknown lands at this time, we thought we’d bring the distant lands to you.  From our home offices in the US and Zimbabwe, we’ve collated and collected a selection of the best “sofa safaris”, recipes, online shopping sites, and links to our most popular safari itineraries for this newsletter. We would like to take this opportunity to express our deep gratitude for the many kind words we have received from our clients, and the cooperation we have experienced from those who have had to postpone their safari dreams to a later date. Enjoy this preview of what’s awaiting you on safari, where you can “shake off the cloak of many cares” and bask in the sunshine, blue skies and wide open wilderness unique to Africa. The wildlife, lodges, guides and our partners on the ground, are all looking forward to welcoming you back, and we are more than ready to help you plan your future safari.
