I had a pretty good idea that this would exceed my expectations based on my previous experience planning a safari with Next Adventure years ago with the boys. I have to say, it blew my expectations away.

This was our third trip with Next Adventures. One evening in Botswana, as we enjoyed snacks and watched the sunset, I was overcome with a feeling of serenity in my soul. With the sun setting in the vast open space, I could only stretch my arms and let the calm and peacefulness fill me up.

All the accommodations had wonderful and unique aspects. What stood out is the quality of the food, morning coffee/tea service, Indian food influence, hospitality, cleanliness, and the wonderful guides through the whole trip.

How would you describe to a friend what it's like to be on a safari?

Fascinating. Every minute provides a different experience even after you feel you have seen plenty of zebra, lions, elephants, etc., and after you think you have taken all the great photos and videos you’ll need. Putting down the cameras and picking up the binoculars and just watching the animals is amazing too.

Glenn and Karen have an insatiable curiosity for unique animals, diverse landscapes and getting off the beaten path. Few people have seen the variety of wildlife that Glenn and Karen have seen over the course of dozens of safaris.

Next Adventure did a really good job picking the right vacation for us; you were thorough, and you made sure we were prepared. The dossier you prepared was also very helpful.   Thanks again for an incredible trip! I can't wait to go back!
