Hippo Safaris

Part of the unassuming thrill of a safari is the possibility of coming close to danger and looking it in the eye. It is in the possibility of staring down at it, knowing full well that very little sits between you and possible chaos that kicks your adrenaline into overdrive and have you on the edge of your seats. 

The canoe is gliding silently on the Amazon high waters. In the distance, you can hear the roar of a howler monkey.

A spec of black amidst the green foliage. It is stirring! Your guide points up in the tree where a gorilla is minding its own business as if they aren’t even bothered by the humans.

A large expanse of gently rolling grassland. From place to place, a flat-topped acacia tree dots the scenery. Zebras and wildebeest graze undisturbed.
