Season 9 - Episode 2
In this episode, I talk about the gap between what we imagine a self-drive safari will be… and what it actually feels like once you’re here.
Many travelers arrive with a vision of total freedom, easy roads, and a smooth adventure. But on the ground, the reality is often very different: difficult driving conditions, fatigue, unexpected challenges, no network… and sometimes, stress.
I explain why this gap between dream and reality can lead to strong reactions, and why that frustration is sometimes directed toward lodges and the people working on the ground.
From the camp, I share what we see when guests arrive, and how understanding this experience can help you approach your trip differently.
An episode to help you prepare better… and enjoy a safari that is more realistic, more peaceful, and ultimately more rewarding.
