Tanzania – Where The Journey Began
25 years ago, when I told Diane we had enough frequent flyer miles to go anywhere in the world she said “I have always wanted to go on a safari in Africa.” So, I planned (yes I am the obsessive planner in the family) a safari to Tanzania. On our first game drive I saw Giraffes. They had me at “Jambo” (Swahili for hello) and thus my love affair with Africa began.
15 years ago, the first Infinite Safari trip was launched in Tanzania. It has been a few years since I have been back but while things have gotten bigger, while we have expanded to safaris in 12 countries in Eastern and Southern Africa, Tanzania and most importantly its people still have my heart. It truly felt like coming home. I got to visit with some of our clients’ favorite guides, visit with our ground team (who are amazing), visit some new properties, and see some initiatives our foundation supports.
What was really fun was visiting Arusha National park because that is where I saw my first giraffe. The first hour I was there I saw them again! I swear one of them said Karibu Tena (Welcome back) Alan!
