Hat for the Safari

Put On Your Adventure Hat

Have you always wanted to go on safari? Watching amazing wild animals do their thing on the plains of Africa sounded pretty amazing to us too. That is until we realized that actually being there isn't like watching a nature documentary in 3-D. If one of those animals decides you're getting a backstage pass, there's no way to turn it down. We heard about impalas jumping through the open window of a Jeep onto the laps of tourists to get away from a cheetah. There was a story about an elephant using a safari vehicle as a scratching post, leaving four popped tires and a broken chassis in his wake. We love the idea of a wildlife adventure. But for now, we might just stick to watching nature documentaries through binoculars for an authentic touch.
