Safari in South Africa

Africa Destinations South Africa

Going on safari in Africa has been on my bucket list since forever. I always thought I would do my first one in Kenya or Tanzania, but after a deep research I decided that safari in South Africa is the best option for beginners. Planning a safari trip is quite a challenge itself; in fact, you need to ask yourself a lot of questions even before you start planning your itinerary.

Potovanje v Južno Afriko – od Johannesburga do Krugerja

Potovanja Slovenski kotiček

O razlogih za potovanje v Južno Afriko in nasvetih o safariju sem pisala že tukaj, sedaj pa bom na kratko povzela aranžma, ki sem ga organizirala v lastni režiji.

But only after learning a few very important facts about lions and lion cubs which helped me to put my big moral dilemma aside.
