We're still in Egypt, but in the meantime...
We haven't returned home yet; but we're already thinking and plotting about the next big trip! Just can't help it - it's the curse of all those with wanderlust.
At this point, the number one place that keeps popping up in our thoughts is southern Africa - maybe
Tanzania and Botswana? Ooh yes, a safari! Nights in tents under the stars (but extremely well appointed
tents, por favore), sipping champagne on a savannah, awesome and majestic animals in their natural habitat... My head starts to spin just thinking about it.
And as luck would have it, Bella Figura USA's good friend Donna Parry traveled on two safaris a few years back. Donna went to Botswana and Kenya for her treks; and raved about them both.
So to get everyone dreaming about the possibilities, and whet the appetite of those who might not be so inclined, she's sent us some fabulous photos taken on her safaris.
Ah, the majestic lions and sleek giraffes. And of course there are the babies! They always look so cute and cuddly - amazing how quickly they grow into creatures that you wouldn't want to happen upon all by yourself!
If you have a safari story you'd like to share, send us an email. We'd love to hear your tips, suggestions, funny stories, or any terrifying tales!
And if you've traveled with a safari outfitter that you loved - let us know. (And vice versa, if they were lacking, we certainly would like to hear about that too.)
