The thought of going to a safari always brings images of elephants with long tusks, lions on kopjes, cheetahs on rolling plains, and The Lion King music in our heads... The Serengeti brought exactly that and so much more!
How to attend the Summer Olympic Games
We set out to attend the Rio Summer Olympic Games right after watching the London Summer Olympic Games. The last Games triggered a need to participate and be present in the celebration of sports and athleticism on an international arena in a city and country we have always wanted to go to.
