Family trip to Africa 2019
by Gil on Jul.31, 2019, under Family
We departed our home airports on Sunday, July 14, met in Atlanta where we boarded our fifteen and half hour flight to Johannesburg, South Africa. We were met after clearing customs by the Abercrombie & Kent representative and escorted across the street to the Intercontinental Hotel where we would spend the night. The next morning after breakfast, we were escorted to our chartered flight to Botswana, with a stop to clear customs in Maun, then on to our destination, Sanctuary Chief’s Camp.
We arrived at the camp and were met by the staff singing a native welcome song. We dropped our bags in our room, had lunch on the deck, and we are off on our first game drive.

Everyone was excited about our first drive and we saw lots of interesting animals, but there was anticipation to see some of the big cats and other big animals.
That evening we settled in and then were treated to a show put on by the local tribe members on the staff. Cocktails and dinner are excellent and we were off to a great start on our adventure.
