This year, 2025 is going to be a very interesting season, I though I'd share some of the highlights so far, and update as we go along. I hope you enjoy.
Serengeti National park for the great Migration in the south of the park was our first stop. This is a real wonder tp behold, and every time is different.

New member and thanks for the add!

Have been researching these folks https://africa-awaits-lodge.com/ but have not been able to find much information on them. There was one thread that a gentleman from Austria posted, but that was all I could find on here.
