Celebrate Thanksgiving in the bush while zebras, wildebeest and gazelles graze in the field near you. Awaken each morning, not from the sound of an alarm clock, but from the monkey who jumps out of a tree and slides down the side of your tent.

Led by a professional ranger, walk in the home of the King of the Beasts, stand in the raw wilderness with elephants, hyenas, cheetahs, rhinos, hippos, buffalo, awesome birds and huge spiders. In the stark darkness of night time, hundreds of miles from civilization, drive in an open air vehicle and spot the predators that are unseen in the daytime.

Guided by those who worked there just a few years earlier, explore the depths of an actual gold mine hundreds and hundreds of feet underground. If you dare, walk to the abyss of the third deepest canyon in the world, rivaling the Grand Canyon.

Wallow overnight in the luxury and opulence of five-star hotels when not in the bush. Shop for beautiful handmade fabrics, wood carvings, stone carvings and art items in the flea market, from roadside vendors and at ranger stations.

Travel to another continent and another hemisphere where north and south seem reversed and where it is Spring when you expect it to be Autumn. Go where the culture and lifestyles are so very different, yet also so very familiar and comfortable. Get to know wonderful people who are emerging from a nation built on apartheid to a nation that leads the world in freedom, equality and mutual respect.
