Safari

African Safaris July 2011 Three weeks in Africa with our Bronxville Rotarian Friends, Doris and Bob Benson, Cheryne and David McBride. What a thrilling itinerary! Kudos to Doris for designing this trip: Johannesburg, Pretoria, Arathusa Private Game Lodge in Sabi Sand Wildtuin at Kruger National Park, Lusaka, Mfuwe, Kalamu Lagoon Camp in the South Luangwa National Park, Kapinga Camp in the Busanga Plains of Kafue National Park, Toka Leya Camp in the Zambezi River valley at Livingstone, and finally Victoria Falls (both the Zambia and Zimbabwe sides).
