Part 3 of Things We Say on Game Drives.
Giraffes casually minding their business while we lose ours.
“Hello baby.”
“Excuse me, kind sir.”
“Oh my god they’re posing.”
“This is amazing.”

Some people whisper. Some people stay quiet.
I apparently greet giraffes like old friends and emotionally process their life updates in real time.

Hey, if it has long legs and eyelashes… I’m calling it “baby.”
No regrets. 😂😂😂

Part 2 of Things We Say on Game Drives.
Today’s episode: zebras — and that split-second panic where everyone’s asking,
“Who got that shot?!”
“That’s a picture!”
Because on safari, magic doesn’t announce itself. It happens, fast — and the energy in the vehicle is electric when you know you just witnessed something special together. 🦓📸

Make sure you tune in on Wednesday. Part 3 may involve giraffes… and a little silliness. 🦒✨

Welcome to our 3-part series: Things We Say on Game Drives. Because when you are on a safari, the anticipation is high…and the wildlife? Completely unpredictable! Today’s theme: Rhino butts. Big ones. Proud ones. Unavoidable ones. If you’ve ever been on safari, you know exactly that burst of excitement I’m talking about — and if you’ve ever haven’t, you’re about to feel it 😂

Did you expect a zebra to make this noise? Clearly I was surprised!
Africa has a way of rewriting everything you think you know.
From the first sunrise to the sound of a zebra calling across the plains—every moment feels alive in a way you can’t quite capture until you’re there.
If you’ve ever dreamed of a safari that surprises you in the best ways, let’s start planning!

🩵 Some places remind us what travel is meant to feel like.
The Black Forest in autumn — golden, peaceful, and utterly timeless.
When I sailed the Rhine with Avalon Waterways in 2023, I experienced this region firsthand… walking through storybook villages, breathing in crisp mountain air, and realizing that slow travel really is the most luxurious kind.
Avalon makes it effortless — every detail curated, every day beautifully unrushed.
💎 West Canadian Travel guests enjoy exclusive perks when booking select Avalon departures.
