Great review Jaya. Well recalled.
I was on this tour with Jaya. It really was a most fabulous experience.
What cant be conveyed in words is the reality and actuality of it all:
The wind and dust in your hair as you charge across the plains with the roof up on the jeeps. The sun on your back and in your face. The dryness and hardness of the ground. The total silence of the footsteps of a herd of elephants crossing the track in front of you. In contrast to the noise of the lion cubs suckling on their mum. The serenity and coolness as the sun dips down behind the hills on the Tanzanian border. The thrill of being woken in the middle of the night to the sound if hippos and lions, but knowing you are safe. The delight of the village children, despite their poverty, waving infectiously as we drove by.
Not to be forgotten, the hysteria, hilarity and emotion of the bonding of a group of strangers, all sharing something very special.
You can only experience these things by going and doing it for yourself!!
