  • This South African Safari was INSANE!! If a Safari is on your travel bucket list, we highly recommend doing it the same way we did. Here's a look at the animals we saw, where we stayed and all the fun we had on Safari in the Sabi Sands Game Reserve. This was all part of our #SquadSQ trip so a huge thanks to Singapore Airlines, South African Tourism and Lion Sands Game Reserve for an unforgettable adventure.

    What you describe as hearing the lions growl in your heart.... we talk about feeling Africa inside you. Being born in Africa, the rhythm of Africa beats inside us...its hard to explain but I think you'll understand

      Yeah, right, that makes a lot of sense when you describe it like that.

It was a very grounding and humbling moment. Thanks for watching and all your comments! Phoebe x

    I envy you and the thrill of your first safari. I'm heading back to southern Africa from Australia next March for more safari love for the 8th time. Just love it. I've stayed at a couple of the Sabi Sands lodges (Earth Lodge and Little Bush Lodge) and they are amazing! And the guides and trackers are top quality. If you want to take your safari experience to the next level, try a walking and boating lodge in the Okavango Delta. (Best sunsets in the world there.) Highly recommend Camp Okavango run by Desert & Delta Safaris - no, I'm not a rep. Really enjoyed this clip. That male leopard on the night drive was huge!

    You have to see a place like Kruger to appreciate what we're doing to this planet. Personally I felt I got an inkling of what it must have been like before us when I was there. Also of course what our place is in the natural pecking order in physical matters. Without our weapons and fences. It's humbling. These animals are all worth our respect for their ability to survive in the wild with nothing but their bodies. And yes they are beautiful.

      YES! Wow, your comment really captured something I haven't been able to put into words myself. It truly is humbling, just as you've described. The moment we saw those lions together, it just... I don't know... it put things into perspective. It really was a life-changing experience for me. Thanks so much for watching and commenting too - your comment really resonated! P x

    I have been a little dubious regarding safety and security there, but your suggestion of a guide is well founded. You can learn much more if you're with someone who knows the area. Otherwise it's hit and miss what you might see and learn about an area. Great video.

    Hi Phoebe and Matt, we are an Aussie and a Yank going to Capetown for a week then want to do a safari type thing like you did. I'm sure that place cost you an arm and a leg, but anyway, more details... which airport did you fly to from Capetown? How many different drives did you go on in 2 days? What do you do in between time? We're planning to be there 1st week of Feb. Any one else want to chime in on recommendations of lodges/game drives feel free.

    • @janineriley
      @janineriley 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Kerie, Lion Sands is one of the more upmarket lodges and you will pay a premium price catered for foreign tourists (about USD1750 per couple per night including breakfast and lunch) It is spectacular but there are way more affordable places, most local South Africans cannot afford these prices but still stay at lovely lodges in or near Kruger Park. Within Kruger Park you can stay in a bungalow for USD120 or more upmarket lodges. There are also local tour companies that will take you on safaris tailored for you. (check out Honey Badger Safari Tours) Phoebe and Max would have departed from Cape Town International Airport and you can fly direct to Skukuza Airport in Kruger Park. Hope that helps.
