An Ultimate Emotional, Beautiful Goodbye at Tsavo East Safari
There’s a particular kind of magic to a last day. We rolled into Tsavo East National Park on day twelve in Kenya. It was the final game drive of our fourth safari; part of a fifteen-day, four-park trip. My friend, only half-joking, warned me to keep my expectations low. “We might spend the whole day…
I absolutely love TripIt Pro! These are the reasons why.
