Page 2 - African Safaris eBrochure by Bushtracks
P. 2
Dear Traveler,
“ In wildness is the preservation of the world,” wrote Henry David Thoreau over
150 years ago. For the past 24 years designing African safaris, we’ve heard
this sentiment restated in countless ways by our returning travelers whose
views of the world and its creatures are forever altered on safari in some of the
world’s wildest places. In this issue, we’re excited to share two of these first-
hand experiences: Bushtracks traveler and Stanford professor Susan McConnell
writes about her connection to Africa’s lions in a moving photo-essay on page
16, while eight-time Bushtracks traveler and photographer Shirley Sanderson
offers her tips for photographing gorillas, considered one of the most
profound wildlife interactions, on page 40.
If the “why” of travel to Africa has already been answered for you, you’ll find eight great answers to the question
of “where” in the following pages where you’ll find destinations to everywhere from A (Amboseli) to Z (Zanzibar).
Remember, all of these safaris are custom-built to your dates and number of travelers, so give us a call at
1-800-995-8689 to begin planning your adventure of a lifetime.
Sincerely,
David and Carolyn Tett
Owners, Bushtracks Expeditions
