Shamwari Game Reserve is one of my favorite wildlife reserves in South Africa. It has everything I love about going on safari: luxury accommodations, amazing game viewing, and a strong focus on animal conservation. In past visits I’ve had a chance to see Shamwari’s wildlife conservation in action—I’ve fed orphaned rhinos at the wildlife rehabilitation center and I’ve flown in the TreadRight Bat Hawk, patrolling for rhinos in the reserve. As profound as these experiences were, nothing prepared me for the latest surprise Shamwari had in store for me!

In August, I returned to South Africa, one of my favorite countries, to experience our luxurious vacation package, Planes, Trains and Safarimobiles. When I visit South Africa, I always look forward to the incredible food, magnificent views in Cape Town and on safari, and the country’s warm and friendly people. On this trip, I had the opportunity to share all of that and more with my daughter! Here are three highlights from our vacation.
