In Africa, you can go on a safari to meet the “Big Five” animals, which are the:
- Lion
- Leopard
- Rhinoceros
- Elephant
- Cape buffalo
There are so many different native animals in addition to the big five, that your camera will need a few extra SD cards.
- Experience the sunrise drive to see the wildlife wake from their slumber and dine inside their habitat
- Enjoy lodging accommodations from traditional tents to luxurious glamping
- Taste cultural cuisine prepared by locals
- Stargaze into the darkest night sky
Did you know that there is another not-so-famous Big Five? They live in a little bit of a colder climate then their African cousins. The Big Five of Alaska is also something to experience.

Go north and explore Denali National Park and Preserve and stay at a lodge to experience the great outdoors:
