What could be more thrilling and beautiful then a twelve day safari in the wilds of Zambia?
Wild Rainbow African Safaris, a gay-marketed company in East Africa, holds several fantastic safaris a year, and their upcoming trip to Zambia, from August 18-29, will be a men-only trip. They also organize private, custom made safari experiences
The trip consists of game walks, great hiking and spectacular canoeing along the Zambezi river. At night, guests sleep in luxury lodges or tents, depending on which of the four locations the trip has arrived in. They promise wildlife sightings such as colorful birds of over 400 species, as well as elephants, leopards, water buffalo, hippos, lions, and giraffes, to name a few.
Days of game walks, during which you can explore many protected camps and the Zambian National Park (one of the most highly-regarded game reserves on the continent), and nights under the Southern Hemisphere stars are opportunities to make lifelong memories and connections.
While the price of a safari is a bit hefty (over $7000 per person), the experience of safe firsthand interaction with the African wild (and all of the photos you'll take!) will linger far longer than the pricetag.
