  • Lost Secrets of the African Safari!

    Our friend and African Safari client Joe Sabia, took four of his friends on an amazing photo safari in Zimbabwe last December. In addition to seeing some amazing game in the bush, Joe found a lost digital photo card while on a game drive. He took the card home, explored the contents of the card, and he’s now trying to find the rightful owner of the card. Can you help him find the owner?

    Joe is a very talented filmmaker and producer, so please watch his incredibly smart and funny video to experience one of the most interesting stories to result from one of our African safaris.

     

    And if you’re interested in some of Joe’s other safari photos, take a look at these great shots from his safari in Hwange National Park. You’ll see what an awesome time he and his friends had:

    Savvy Jeff is continues to bounce around Southern Africa, but it’s not always just about checking out cool, interesting, and luxurious lodges and hotels.

    Yesterday I spent the day with Habitat for Humanity in urban Lusaka, Zambia, building a new, 3-room house for a local family. This particular family, led by matriarch Veronica, will soon move into this significantly-upgraded housing in their township. The 10 family members will live in about 300 square feet, which is a huge improvement over their mud hut with a leaky roof. The family worked alongside us, and Veronica’s grandchildren and their friends entertained the volunteers and staff with songs throughout the day. Needless to say, the entire experience was very moving and I look forward to returning next year.

     

    march 5thOur good friends at Hills of Africa Travel organized this particular trip, called the Give Movement Journey. And if you’re interested in doing something similar, let us know and we’ll put you in touch.

    This was a trip of a lifetime, which I hope to do again soon. It really is more blessed to give than to receive.
