During a week-long safari in South Africa, the author recounts surprising animal encounters and comfortable amenities like affordable meals and modern bathrooms. They vividly describe close interactions with herds of elephants and lions, creating a thrilling yet sedentary experience. Despite the excitement of game drives, the author yearns for more physical activity, finding limited opportunities due to safety restrictions around wildlife. Though the drives start early, they offer an exhilarating atmosphere, akin to a live theme park ride, yet lead some guests to fall asleep due to the lengthy duration.
I was shocked by how close the animals came to our vehicle during the game drives; the elephants walked just inches away from us.
Game drives are thrilling but can be sedentary; after several days, I craved more physical activity but had limited options.
