WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF SAFARI VEHICLES? There are two  main types of safari vehicles — open and closed. While open safari vehicles live up to their name, generally with three rows of tiered seating and completely open sides, closed safari vehicles are a bit more nuanced. They have closed sides (as you see in the picture above), but the tops pop open so safari-goers can stand up to get a better view. Windows also slide open so that travelers can take photos unimpeded. LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION The type of vehicle that will be used for a safari often has to do with WHERE that safari is t ..read more

A Once-in-a-Lifetime Encounter at Wild Horizons Elephant Sanctuary
Live the Magic of Africa | Hills of Africa
by Kati Knowland

A travelogue from Abby Salle from her recent journey through Africa with her family! Elephants have always been my favorite animal without a doubt. I could probably sit for hours watching herds move quietly through the bush, making little to no noise. Although they are the gentle giants of Africa, they can be very fierce when necessary (especially when it comes to family.) Even though, in my eyes, they are sweet and gentle creatures, I never imagined I would have the chance to stand face-to-face with my favorite animal. In fact, I almost didn’t even want to, instead I’d rather leave them where ..read more
