Personal/Travel Blog Post: South African Safari

Savanna Game Reserve Sabi Sands South Africa Safari

South Africa Wildlife Photographer – Shea McGrath Photography

It has taken me a few months, but I’ve finally blogged about my trip to South Africa from this past April! Being a huge animal lover, it may have been my favorite trip I’ve ever taken. Even though getting there was rather long (almost 40 hours), it was well worth it. We stayed at Savanna Game Reserve in the Sabi Sands and went on 6 safaris. Every safari was unique and different in its own way; we saw leopards, lions, elephants, zebras, giraffes, wild dogs, rhinos, hippos, wildebeests, buffalo, hyenas, impalas, owls, and more. It far exceeded my expectations and I would HIGHLY recommend this trip to every single person I know.

After traveling from Denver to London to Johannesburg, we got on a little 12 passenger plane and landed on a runway in the middle of the Sabi Sands.
